A review by emilyspex
Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Things I liked:
  • The horror elements were excellent
  • The mystery was compelling up until the reveal

Things I didn't love:
  • The reveal was a monologue, which I loathe
  • The main character is very pessimistic and constantly blames herself for things that are obviously not her fault. This actually makes sense with her backstory, but it's just not something that I love to read in first person.
