This book is something I normally don't read. The book was a little hard to get into, but once the book hooks you, it's over. Claire was a TL of a ship, who stops and visits a ship that went missing 20 years ago. What they discover on the missing ship is something beyond their wildest imagination. This book is really well written. Story line draws you in.

3.5 stars - Kind of predictable, but well written. Reminded me of a mix between the Shining and Event Horizon.

This was my first read from my 12 Books Challenge this year! This one was good! It was suspenseful and super creepy. Set in space, a crew of 5 people end up stumbling upon a ship that has been missing for 20 years. They decide to board the ship and end up in a nightmare they never saw coming. I did like it, the main character was just a little annoying and parts of the story dragged on. It was a good read but not one that will stay with me very long
