The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink

5 Stars

Not sure how this is my first book by this author. I just know that after reading this one I will be digging into everything else available. Her writing style hit me in the best way and I loved every single thing about this book, even the parts I hated because they were written so that I felt the emotions and the feelings coming straight off the pages.

I know this was a book written by an author that did a lot of research and spoke to a lot of survivors and reading it was not easy in many parts but… it absolutely brought awareness to me anyway that this does happen, maybe not in the exact way this storyline played out but the fear, the feeling trapped, the emotional breakdown of a person’s everything happens and I can not even imagine.

Just focusing now on this story, Gia has become my hero, I never thought in a million years that this book would end the way it did. I loved Derek but for some reason he did not play the part in this story like I thought he would and I’m so very impressed with how this author handled both of these characters. I was reminded of a movie while reading this and then the last part of the book hit and another movie came into play. I would love to see this one on TV, taking both of the movies I was reminded of and putting them together into one would be amazing. This book held a unique storyline that I’ve never read before and I’m completely impressed with the entire experience, even the parts I wanted to just block out.

There is definitely a need for the trigger warnings as I’m sure this will affect many, but I’m so so happy I chose to read this book and can not wait to read more from this author.

Amazing!
