Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes

vamarama's review against another edition

3.0

Took me a while to get into it, but eventually it creeps you out and keeps you guessing. I couldn't stand the main character, and the whole book has a large focus on her thoughts and feelings which I understand from a story telling perspective but didn't like. Would have preferred to be left guessing at the end because the epilogue felt rushed and too easy.

Ran out of time at library and just felt more connected to other stories. People called it a slow-burn and I didn't feel like I had time for that. I may try again some day bc I loved Dead Silence.

3.5

After reading S.A. Barnes first book Dead Silence and feeling lukewarm about it, I wanted to give them another chance. I hate to say it but I feel lukewarm about this one as well. I gave Dead Silence a 3 star and this one will be a 3.5.

First off I feel like these are marketed incorrectly. They are supposed to be Sci-Fi/Horror but I feel they are more Sci-Fi/Thriller. I can see a little more "horror" in this one but not enough to call it horror. I went into this one knowing there was more than likely not going to be a strong horror element like the last book and that helped my reading experience. 

S.A. Barnes writing is very accessible and I flew through this book in 2 days. The character development of Ophelia and Ethan was excellent and I feel that we really knew them by the end of the book. I wish we were able to get to know some of the others a little bit better. 

All in all I think this will sadly be my last S.A. Barnes book.
