About this listen
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?

The Silence
Terrifying premise! I wish I'd found the book before I'd seen the movie because I kept looking for similarities and there weren't many. However, that doesn't detract from a really good story. I felt the horror of stumbling across the televised footage of the first encounter so vividly...beautifully done! That won't soon be forgotten. Thanks for giving me a good scare.

Deliciously original
Not an average apocalypse story nor even an average monster story. It’s a little slow to build but definitely worth the wait. As a blind person I have often wanted a story that could find relative benefit in disability during the end of the world and this one does that but in a very natural manner, without feeling preachy. Excellent character development and without a tidy ending and well read.

Road trip time for the family!
Pretty good read, rather gut-renching in some spots and invoking fury in others for the small family as you follow them through their harrowing journey of survival. Mr. Lebbon certainly has a way of drawing you into his stories! I must add, the narrators made this all possible. They acted each character with liveliness and excitement.

Good solid story
The voices reading were
Perfect rhythm for it, the story keeps your interest and the finish is a bit sudden

Hush
Great story! loved the world building through social media updates, constantly being given new information yet having so many unanswered questions. What made this different than other similar stories is it's not just happening to humans, the entire ecosystem is fighting for it's life. Birds are engaged in aerial combat just as much as fighter jets are. The narrator was also a perfect choice and did her job amazingly!

Gripping.
Excellent, riveting story; fascinating characters; fabulous narration. Only problem is the ending... or what there is of it.

Male narrator was just awful
The story was actually not too bad. I enjoy a good dystopian story and this one did keep my interest. The female narrator was fine, but the guy… my god. It felt like he was reading in point form and there were SO many “dramatic” pauses, many of which were in mid sentences lol. I can normally handle a slow narration, but this one I actually sped up to 1.3 just to cut the length of those pauses 😑

A fascinating adventure
The book offers a unique look into what a new and silent world could look like in the race of an extinction event. Overall a great adventure, worth the time.

Scary Adventure
A scary look at the end of the world and how fast people can adapt.
monsters released from a cave take over the continent and eat every living thing they hear.
The scariest thing is still the people and what they will do to survive.

If you don't like Scott Brick, don't bother
The female narrator has a lot of the same habits as Scott Brick, famous audiobook ruiner. Couldn't finish the book. If you know, you know.
