Dead Sound is the first in the new Things Unseen series, and what a great start!
Neve works in mental health, and the book begins with her return to work after having been stabbed by a patient. But her return doesn’t go off without a hitch when a group of patients surrounds her, seemingly worshipping her as the savior of the apocalypse to come. The premise is so engaging… part cult tale, part political thriller, part apocalyptic tale, and even some great romance!
The author does a terrific job of creating an ominous mood, even with the romance and humor. There is so much tension, so much anticipation. And it is such a well-crafted, easily believable, twisty-turny storyline that was clearly well researched. There is a diverse cast of characters with very distinct voices that really lent depth to the story.
This is a great read if you love political or psychological thrillers. It’s also got great elements of cults and apocalptic societies. I definitely recommend this one!
