Description
In this unnerving horror novel, five friends wake up to a deserted, sunless Earth — and soon find that fog-like figures stalk their silent new reality…
Empty streets are littered with stalled-out cars, buses, and motorcycles. A sunless and moonless sky is covered with an enormous barrier that prevents any view of the heavens.
Nothing stirs. The air is oppressive and there is no wind, not even the softest breeze.
It was supposed to be a typical day for the five friends, but they wake up to discover that they are left alone on earth. The world that they knew is gone. All that is left is silence, pervasive, absolute silence.
What happened while they slept? Are they the only ones left? As the theories start to fly, and their imaginations run wild, they wonder if they are still on Earth at all, possibly abducted by aliens, trapped in a simulation, or claimed by the afterlife.
Aram is the only one who can see deep into the silent world. That’s why, from the very beginning, he starts to look for a way out of this new reality. If he can convince his friends to stay focused, as the whispers begin, and fight against the evil of the silent world, the fog-shaped beings that wander the empty streets, they may stand a chance.
If not, the only thing that lies ahead is the fate of the void.

Five friends meet up for a game of cards one evening. When they wake up, they're greeted by empty cars, houses, busses - and mysterious misty ghosts who hunt whatever human life has remained on earth...
Looking for further surviours, the friends not only start questioning humanity's dissapearance, but also how far their loyalty for each other truly goes...
I was sent an email by the author, asking me if I'd be interested in their book. Loving a good horror story, I was intruiged and now, after way too much time, I have finally been able to give this book a review.
It was a great read and I can't thank the author enough for giving me a chance to read this book.
The cover is mysterious and intruiging, the blurb caught my interest (I am a huge fan of dystopian books, especially the ones where humanity is gone), so I gave it a try.
So, why am I not giving a book I greatly enjoyed and would definetly recommend just four instead of five stars? Well, this has a very simple reason: The POV kept shifting every chapter. Normally, I enjoy books like these because it gives you more insight of the characters, but for this one, I think one or two, maximum three character's perspective might have been enough, especially since some of these characters only had one chapter told from their perspective. It was irritating and interrupred the story instead of providing it with its neccesary flow.
The story was well written and kept me well entertained and interested in the book. At first, I was a bit confused because I spent the first few chapters in the severe belief that the characters were teenagers, but once I realised my mistake, this book didn't lose any of its fascination.
I received a free ARC by Netgalley and the author in exchange for an honest review.

Set in a parallel post apocalyptic kind of world, a group of friends face an unknown enemy that can't be killed.
This novel was a very interesting read. I enjoyed the character developments and breakdowns and the plot was twisting and turning I wasn't sure where it was going to go next.
The end had me in tears almost, I'm not gonna spoil it but I really wished that it might have been a different ending.
Good quick read, enjoyable. Go try it for yourself.
