Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes
5.0
Pretty different tonally from Dead Silence, but the tone switch was one I enjoyed! This follows Ophelia, a woman with a complicated family past, who joins an R&E crew exploring an alien planet.
Most of this book is just Phe’s inner thoughts and turmoil about her past and how it relates to her current assignment. Honestly, tonally, I think it matches more closely to a romantasy novel (not to say that this is romance heavy, I’m just saying the inner thoughts match the FMCs of those books pretty closely). That being said—I’m a romantasy girlie! Even though this doesn’t really feel like a sci-fi horror for most of the novel, I still found it deeply enjoyable, I just think fans of the Dead Silence should know to expect something very different.
