Synopsis

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?

Goodreads review by Justine on May 06, 2017

3.5 stars Pretty good mindless monster apocalypse horror. I found this to be a decently entertaining read, and it was page turning in the way Bird Box was, with a different story/same feel to it.
