Salvation Day by Kali Wallace
3.0
A good Sci-Fi Horror story, although things go off track a bit later in the book.
I really liked the dead spaceship with secrets aspect of the book - a very Event Horizon vibe. The fact that the ship became a tomb that was ravaged by a mystery disease, made for a haunted house feel, and, at first, I liked the interwoven story of the cult of Adam. I found the cult storyline more and more distracting as the story went on, though, and it ruined the final chapters of the book in my opinion.
The two main characters were easy to empathise with, and I liked the peek into the different parts of future society that we got from them.
Overall, a good book, although I think it could have been shorter. Things felt a little stretched out, although I liked the world building and lore that were added via the documents in-between chapters.

My one criticism of the characters is that I thought Zahra switched from cultist to free thinker pretty quick, considering she'd been under Adam's wing for a decade.Overall, a good book, although I think it could have been shorter.
