It was not bad by any means and I did really enjoy the story. I honestly could have done without the romance arc with Kane but it was at least not the focal point of the story. I debated with myself a lot on whether or not Claire was a reliable narrator or not especially with the jumps from the past to present and the memory loss which I did enjoy in this setting. I just wished the story had moved a little faster or had some more action to it,

Dead Silence takes sci-fi horror to a new level as it merges the story of the Titanic with the terror of Stephen King's The Shining.
Claire prefers being out in space to being confined to Earth. To Claire's dismay, this is her last mission before her employer terminates her. The rest of her crew is ready to go home after long months in space, but when they receive a distress signal from the famous Aurora, a ship that was wrecked 20 years ago and never found, Claire and her crew decide they just have to check it out to see what they can find. This salvage could set them up for life, and they would be famous for just discovering the Aurora. But when the crew boards the Aurora, they find things, and people, they didn't expect to. Soon they are unsure how to determine what is reality and how they're going to get off this ship alive.
This book is addictive, to say the least. S.A. Barnes takes readers on a wild ride as the crew discovers horrors they never thought possible on the Titanic-esque spacecraft. Claire makes an excellent main character as readers struggle to decipher which parts of her story are true.
From the great twists to the many jump scares, Dead Silence is sure to satisfy all fans of sci-fi, horror, mysteries, and thrillers.

The Shining is one of my all time favorite horror books and s this took some of the same concepts but mashed it with Titanic/Poseidon and threw it all in space.
As the lone survivor of two major events and not knowing that the people who are protecting you and helping to raise you after all your family is gone, is actually just using you as good publicity. Claire must try and piece together what is real and what isn’t in order to not only save herself but any other survivors as well as expose the company she thought was on her side. When you can’t tell the difference between what is and isn’t real, in a fit for your life, what lengths would you go to in order to survive?
