Dead Silence

Any story where people investigate a missing spaceship with no one left alive on board is right up my alley. This book had a bit of an Event Horizon (movie) feel. I enjoyed the creepiness of the mystery. My one compliant was that the main character was a little annoying. Her insistence that everything bad that happens to everyone is always her fault made me want to slap her. Besides that I liked this book quite a bit.

I'll admit that Sci-Fi is not my go to genre, but the horror/sci-fi collaboration worked. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and there were suspenseful moments that kept me on the edge of my seat. Dead Silence is written well, bringing the reader a story that throws you into an action packed adventure full of space, ghosts and surprises.

I must say I didn't particularly like the anxious, worry-wart main character, but characters are strong. If romance is your thing, there's a cute little love story between two of the main characters.

The ending is my favorite part of the book. I like how the author added a twist showcasing the greed of major corporations. It's much like the world we live in today. There's a nice lesson in there if you read between the lines.

Overall I did enjoy the story and there were a few moments that caught me off-guard. I would totally read more from this author.
