More of a fun beach-read book rather than anything actually scary. Fast-paced and enjoyable, but not super deep or literary.

Poor writing. The author switches the main characters voice from “ultra cool experienced space explorer” to hysterical idiot and back again every other sentence within the same conversation

Not my normal reading genre but something about the description pulled me in. Not sure if this is sci-fi/suspense or just a mild horror novel but either way it was a good story and kept me interested until the end. There were enough chills to give your a little zing of thrill but not graphic. I middle schooler could read this. May need to check out more from this author.

Overall, a good read. I agree with other reviewers that the plot seemed like a mash-up between Aliens and Event Horizon. While I LOVE Aliens, I was hoping for a little bit more originality. I also agree that the childhood backstory for the main character was a bit overdone, it didn’t turn me off from the book like it did for others. I also agree that the romance plot was unnecessary but can understand why the author included it. The ending was ok to me. I didn’t feel it was lame/rushed as others did. The fact that not everything is explained is not unexpected given the memory gaps of certain characters. I don’t consider this a huge flaw because if every little detail was explained at the end, this would have felt too convenient. There were multiple creepy parts with a horror-like feel. However, I understand why people were disappointed with it not being scary enough (given the publisher’s synopsis). I just think my expectations for books labeled “horror” are lower than they once were. Very few books labeled as such actually are true horror. Although my rating is not extremely high, I would still recommend as a decent read.
