(as of Nov 25, 2024 17:41:32 UTC - Details)
In the darkness of a vast cave system, cut off from the world for millennia, blind creatures hunt by sound. Then there is light, there are voices, and they feed. Swarming from their prison, they multiply and thrive. To scream, even to whisper, is to summon death.
Deaf for many years, Ally knows how to live in silence. Now, it is her family's only chance of survival. They must leave their home, shun others, and find a remote haven where they can sit out the plague. But will it ever end? And what kind of world will be left?

Title: If you like creature horror this book is for you.
Review: This movie was good. The book is better and progressively terrifying. Waiting for these monsters to cross the English Channel, trying to stay safe and sane. Knowing that these creatures are wreaking havoc and massive killings in main land Europe keeping sane is very difficult. Books are normally better than the movie adaptation and that holds true to here also. Amazing characters, strong, fierce, powerful, brave and loving to each other. Ally is incredibly strong and brave. I love her point of view and her dadâs. I love the characters backstories and the world building. I would like to know why the movie was changed to the US instead of sticking with the original UK storyline. At the heart of this book there is such an undeniable truth and love of family, and what a person would do to keep that family alive, together and safe. The Vesps are unimaginably scary, but some of the survivors are worse in different ways. OMG chapter 21 really got to me, I was shaking so much I dropped my iPad on the floor, Iâm not even kidding. If you like creature horror this book is for you.

Title: Strong tension in this new blend of apocalypse
Review: Cheers to Lebbon for writing another apocalyptic story that sets the genre on its ear and plows forward. After loving his inter-dimensional zombie epic, Coldbrook, I was very excited to see him impress me with something equally as unique. For the most part he succeeded. The Silence adds sound as a new element of horror, creating an apocalyptic invasion of deadly vesps, a bird that reminded me of pterodactyls, which hunts purely by sound because they've evolved within a large cave for who knows how long.Lebbon has a strong cast of characters that I immensely enjoyed meeting and wanting to see survive. The story is told between the viewpoints of the husband/father, Huw and his daughter, Ally. Huw and his wife have been enduring for a long time on the brink of losing their marriage. This grey area between the happiness marriage starts with and the hopelessness that ends in divorce kept the arc with Huw and his wife as one that hooked me from early on and ended as one of the better aspects of the story.Ally's tale was equally as endearing, from both her perspective and her father's. His love for his daughter and family was a great reason for my affection to this story. Ally was in a car accident years ago that took her grandparent's lives--Huw's parents--and left her deaf and suffering from memory loss of the event. Her deafness was more than just one way of increasing the fear of silence; it put us in a new perspective to seeing the world flip upside down into chaos. That change in her life prior to the vesp outbreak and how it built her character to handle the events to come made her one of the strongest characters in the book.The writing is very professional and includes social media excerpts that make this apocalypse more lifelike than most, and while the story is very good, it never quite broke the ceiling into a five star. We have the adventure from getting the family to finding safety with a handful of shocking twists in between, but there's something about the plot that didn't match the potential that I was hoping for. The ending wasn't a knockout, even though I was pretty satisfied with how the character relationships concluded. I'd put this one high on my list of apocalyptic thrillers, but it's probably not in my top ten.

Title: Haunting story-stays with you!
Review: This book was amazingly creepy and felt more like psychological horror, which I like best anyways. I loved Bird Box and several reviews compared the two, but I thought they were very different and loved both! A mining expedition has catastrophic consequences, when the team discovers a formerly untouched world underground. It has developed an ecosystem of its own after millions of years. The scientists are broadcasting their expedition on the Discovery channel when everyone is viciously attacked, though at first the details are unclear and people think it may be a hoax. A creature has been released and results are immediately devastating; this creature is plentiful & blind, and attacks anything making noise and hunts by sonar of some kind. We follow one family through the UK throughout the entire event's unfolding and watch them cope with the terror of a new silent life, adjusting the best way they can in what has become a scary new world, essentially under siege! Great book, really creepy and seems a lot more plausible than many other horror books, which makes it worse (in a good way)!

Review: Don't get me wrong this book was good but just not what I thought it was going to be. I was hoping the creatures were going to be bigger and more terrifying but still creepy. The writing style was good but the story dragged sometimes but overall a good book and it really gets you thinking about if our world was ever to start the end of times or whatever you want to call it. It shows what humanity will do if and when that time comes and it will show us how to TRULY survive in that new world.

Review: I'd not read any of Tim Lebbon's books until 'The Silence', but will definitely be checking out more as 'The Silence' is so good. The suspense grabs you from page one and the story line is well paced. I hope there will be a sequel to tie up loose ends. Highly recommend to anyone who likes dystopian/apocalypse novels.
