    Quietus by Vivian Schilling
    Save:

    After a plane crash that kills everyone except for five people, the remaining survivors, especially Kylie and her friend Amelia, start having a very strong sense of foreboding. Kylie starts seeing people that aren't there and is terrified that her and the rest of the survivors were not meant to live. The story, while intriguing in the beginning, wraps up before the book is even halfway over. Quietus is quite long at over 600 pages but the pages turn very quickly and had me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time. The viewpoints switch from Kylie, her friend Amelia, Kylie's husband Jack, Jack's brother Dillon, and a few other people, providing a complex and terrifying plot.
