The Silent Land

The Silent Land by Graham Joyce

Amazon description:
When Jake and Zoe are buried under a flash avalanche while skiing in the French Pyrenees, they miraculously dig their way out from under the snow—only to discover the world they knew has been overtaken by an eerie and absolute silence. With their phones cut off, and the village evacuated of every living soul, the young married couple begin to witness strange, unsettling events neither one can ignore. And as the days wear on, they are forced to confront frightening possibilities as they attempt to survive and escape the silent land they now inhabit.”

My thoughts:
Was this supposed to be suspenseful? If so, it failed because I knew what was going on almost immediately. One good thing is that there are some thought provoking questions raised, however not enough to keep me engaged thoughout. This would be better cut down into a short story.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this.
