sharkparty 's review for:
Dead Silence
by S.A. Barnes
Someone please explain the hype around this book, because I do NOT see it.
Where was the "unspeakable horror"? Is the horror in the room with us now? Help, I am so confused.
The romance aspect was so wildly unnecessary and annoying. This book failed the Bechdel test so hard, it might as well have been a Harlequin romance with a side of spaceship.
All the characters suck. The narrator mourns her colleagues that die, but can't even name non-work related things about them, making it feel aggressively impersonal. Most of the book is Claire crying about what a bad team lead she is and how much she wants to bone Kane.
Barnes somehow took an extremely interesting and potentially awesome plot and made it nearly unbearable. Even the "scary" parts are suddenly explained away by (spoiler) corporate greed. Why does Kovalik even have hallucinations? What did I miss here? I'm mad. This book sucked.
