Horror books arent my cup of tea. If I liked the genre a bit better i think i would have given it a better rating. It was a very interesting concept. It did drag at times where i wish it picked up, but it was alright!

2.5⭐️

The first half was effectively creepy, and I enjoyed it. Overall, the writing could be better, and it read like your run of the mill space horror, but that's what I was hoping for! The rest of the book went in a direction I just did not vibe with. This wasn't bad, just not at all what I wanted it to be.

I knew when I read the back-cover-blurb for this book, that I would enjoy the ride. Turns out, it creeped me out & took me on a light-speed race to thrills. I didn’t guess what was going on & I definitely didn’t expect the ending to work in my favor. This is a good read for anyone who likes Netflix shows like “Lost in Space” or Prime’s “The Expanse”.

This is in my top 5 of 2022! This was so good! Not super scary (I mean it might be for some), but the thrill aspect and unknown of space travel gives it such a good creepy feeling. This is a quick read, I just really took my time with it and loved every second.

Solid 4 stars! Definitely has movie potential.

Reread this for my horror book club and I enjoyed it more than the first time! I still don't like the romance between Claire and Kane, it feels forced into the plot, but it was a fun and quick read! After reading both of Barnes' books I'm excited to see what they do next!

I’ve never gone to space, I have no plans to ever go to space but god damn was I scared like I myself live on a space shuttle. There were parts of this book I didn’t love but the parts I did far outweigh the ones I didn’t.

4.5. Really good read!
