I initially DNFd this book, and was disappointed in bith myself, and in the book. I was really looking forward to it. I am so glad I gave it another chance!! Sci-fi horror, tense mystery, and a legit ghost spaceship!

The tagline "Alien meets Titanic" is spot on for this book.
I particularly liked that

the plot twist involves corporate greed and no ghosts or huntings were causing the whole ordeal, keeping the supernatural at a minimum

.

Keep in mind that the characters are unpleasant and very stereotyped, but that only adds to the b movie vibe of the book.

5/5 read, couldn't stop reading
