"You'll want to read this one with the lights on."—Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling authorCold Eternity is the instant USA Today bestselling space horror from S.A. Barnes perfect for fans of Severance, where desperation for eternal life leads to a fate worse than death...Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago...The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram "hosts," ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately. She starts to see figures crawling in the hallways, and there’s a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents.It’s not long before Halley realizes she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from....Also by S.A.

"TLDR: Interesting enough to stay engaged, but not stellar enough to stay on my bookshelf when finished.
The ideas present in the book were interesting enough to keep me curious until the end, but some of the writing was a little bland or frustrating. The main character often dismisses concerning sounds and encounters as normal or just her imagination; and the author describes situations as one way to build suspense only to turn around and say “just kidding, it was just this ordinary thing instead” (e.g. the creepy breathing she hears through the ajar door just being TV static). This tactic was used multiple times and I found it kind of lame. Things started to finally fall in place and get interesting around page 200, but that’s pretty late. The “aha” moment near the end was interesting, but I had predicted part of it."
