Dead Silence

by S.A. Barnes

A GHOST SHIP.
A SALVAGE CREW.
UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS.

Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed-made obsolete-when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.

What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn't right.

Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Words scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold onto her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora, before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.

I really enjoyed this! Horror is not my typical genre but I saw Patches on TikTok raving about it so I had to check it out.

It's total Ghost Ship (the movie) and Titanic vibes and I am here for it!

I felt completely immersed in the action but I did feel a little let down that there wasn't a little bit more horror or scariness to the story.

Ultimately though while that was a very small let down I still rate it 5 stars because it's a book that I am sure to remember and have already recommended to others.
