And the World Went Silent
When Shelby Arnold slipped into the airplane bathroom to argue with her husband, she never would have thought it would save her life. But it did.
While she bickers with him over video chat, an unexplained phenomenon strikes the earth with devastating force and the world is plunged into darkness and silence.
In an instant, ninety percent of the population lose both their sight and their hearing.
Shelby is not one of them. She and a few others on Flight 1515 are spared the effects of the anomaly. Unfortunately, they are not spared the horrors of the world they face once they land.
A tragic, debilitating event for mankind quickly turns into an extinction level event, as those suddenly stricken with blindness and deafness are unable to navigate the challenges they face in the aftermath.
In the chaos, with so many affected, those like Shelby, who are spared are few and unable to do anything but search for answers they may never find in a world completely changed.

The story was okay but man, the typos and errors are many
I didn’t hate this book but it wasn’t my favorite. It all just seemed so trite. I just can’t believe an author with as many books as Druga allows any book to get out with as many errors as it has. I’ve noticed this a ton with her books, which is too bad, because a lot of her stuff is good. But please hire a proofreader.

Good Storyline, Terrible Editing
I like Jacqueline Druga books. Post apocalypse is my favourite genre and the stories keep me wanting to read more. But literally every book I've read has had the most terrible editing. Like truly shocking. Sometimes completely incorrect words, incorrect names, incorrect spellings and incorrect punctuation, often to the point that sentences don't make sense or read right at all - I'd say almost an issue on every page, especially closer to the middle and end of the book. Please please please get an editor or even ask fans to proof read it for you before release? It really knocks you out of the story and feels a little insulting to the reader that it isn't checked more thoroughly before being sold. I can see soooo many readers comment this in reviews on so many of the books, but the editing issue remains the same on even the newer releases. I really want to keep reading more of Jacqueline's books, but I'm just not sure I can with it as bad as it is

this could’ve been SO GOOD but there were an insane amount of grammatical errors and it drove me insane. a few would’ve been okay but they were all throughout and it unfortunately ruined the entire story for me

I couldn't get past the editing and typos, soon felt like I was on a mission to find errors. Wasn't crazy about the storyline either.

Such a letdown. So much promise, such an interesting concept but piss poor writing and grammar mixed in with constant typos and mistakes ruined it for me.

This was a fun concept to read. The mystery of what happened and the journey. Getting little hints of what could have happened.
While I did enjoy the read I noticed I was either having trouble liking the characters or liking the writing choices. It was hard to pinpoint what my issue was, but I think it was just a simple story with simple writing and this was a story that could have had a lot more depth. A lot more interesting story aspects but it ended with out any real pay off.
Recommend it he read if you enjoy early post apocalyptic stories but don’t care to much for gore or horror. This story is more a low tension journey aside from a couple exception.

Reads like a rough draft
I read other reviews that mentioned bad editing but thought I could give the book a try. This was an absolute mess, much worse than a few missed punctuations, or lapses in the plot.

Okay book but a lot of typos!
I enjoyed the book but there were so many typos. I didn’t notice them as much in other books by the same author.

This book had real potential with a cool and unique take on the apocalypse. But the thin writing, frequent typos and weak characters left me disappointed.

Firstly, this book doesn't really live up to its name. There's plenty of noise, although some people are rendered deaf.
This may be book one of a series, given its unresolved nature. In the prologue, a character is sitting on the porch of an old farmhouse waiting to see if survivors will emerge from an extensive dead zone a mile or so away. Most of the rest of the book is a flashback that explains how she came to be in that situation.
Shelby Arnold is a housewife and employee of a furniture company. Usually, she never goes anywhere on business, but, due to a colleague dropping out, she is to attend an educational convention in Las Vegas. Her husband, who travels a lot on business, is opposed to her attendance, and when he keeps texting her while she waits to board her plane, she ignores her phone. But after takeoff, she goes into one of the toilets onboard the plane, and Facetimes him. Their teenage children are in the background, and she's annoyed her husband has chosen to involve them in his attempt to be controlling. But then the screen whitens out and the plane lurches.
She is fortunate to escape with only minor injuries but when she emerges from the toilet she discovers that most of the people onboard are dead. A few like herself were in the other toilets, including the son of the man who was sitting next to her. The man himself was asleep with earbuds in, and another man, luckily for him, was also asleep with an eyemask and earbuds in place. He is a military pilot and has just lost his position flying Airforce One for a minor misdemeanour. Equally fortuitous is that one of the pilots died in the cockpit doorway, wedging it open so they are able to gain access and their pilot can fly the plane. Others aren't so lucky, as they avoid a mid-air collision with a jet liner that has run out of fuel.
Another hazard is the presence onboard of people who are blind but not deaf (one woman is both) who react with extreme violence to sounds and have to be avoided. More such people are encountered at Las Vegas airport, but also a little girl, blinded by the event - a dazzling
light accompanied by a vibration which causes brain damage, turning some victims into mindless but violent creatures attracted to sound.
The rest of the book deals with the attempt to find other survivors and either a place of safety or, in the main character's case, to return to her family despite the increasingly remote chance that they are even alive.
The story is a bit rambling with a lot of repetition about the character's desperation to be reunited with her family. The other characters aren't that well characterised, generally all having some kind of background trauma or addiction.
There are plotlines that don't really play out, for example, the little girl at Las Vegas airport tells them that a "religious" leader of some kind led away the rest of the survivors there, leaving her behind because, blinded by the event, she wasn't “perfect”. It seemed the travellers might have trouble from him and his people when they travel into the damaged city, but that plotline is just forgotten about. Similarly, it's stated by one of the characters Shelby meets that an eight minute warning of some kind was given, but never stated what. Shelby commences to beat herself up for the rest of the book for being dismissive about her husband's order to fly home on the next plane, yet, given the time factor, his previous communications to do exactly that couldn't possibly be anything to do with the event. He was being controlling, apart possibly for the last video call. Also, the little girl doesn't mention seeing anything before the flash that blinds her.
The cause is also fairly mysterious apart from its being an EM pulse of some kind unless I've misunderstood. But that would have fried all the circuits onboard as well as phones - Shelby's continues to work while phone masts and power stations continue to operate - and an EM pulse wouldn't vaporise bodies which, it seems, happened on the ground near windows. The dead zone where the effect seems to be Ground Zero is eventually discovered to include areas of high radiation. So the "science" behind this story is questionable and it leaves many unanswered questions. Overall, I would rate it as an "OK" 2 stars .

In And the World Went Silent, one moment, everything is normal. The next, most of the world goes blind and deaf. No one knows why, and society quickly falls apart. Shelby Arnold, one of the few who can still see and hear, must figure out how to survive in a world where communication is nearly impossible and danger is everywhere. With people struggling to adapt—or turning violent—she has to decide who to trust and how far she’s willing to go to stay safe.
I have read many of Druga’s books, and they’re like sorbet, the palate cleanser between courses of a large meal. Her books are fast-paced, often stand-alone, and provide a nice respite from the heavier, more complex books I usually read. And the World Went Silent was no exception. In keeping with Druga’s tendencies, there is a bit of a zombie element in this book—but not the typical flesh-eating undead. Instead, it’s about how some people are affected by the event, leaving them in a mindless, almost lifeless state. This adds an eerie layer to the story, making survival even more unpredictable.
Shelby’s main goal is to get home to her family, but she’s forced to stay with a group she meets along the way. The delays in finding out her family’s fate are frustrating for her, but from a pacing perspective, it didn’t bother me. The story moved along well, and there was enough happening to keep me engaged. The book also satisfied my curiosity about what caused the disaster—even if the explanation was a bit of a stretch—and it wrapped up the story well.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because it didn’t require the level of cerebral engagement typically needed for a book like The Da Vinci Code, but it still gave me my end-of-the-world fix—that hit of apocalyptic chaos I crave from time to time. Druga has her niche in the literary universe, and I enjoy visiting it. Her books may not be deeply complex, but they’re always entertaining, and I look forward to reading more.

As will a lot of this author's stories, this has a unique twist on disaster. I had two issues with what had potential to be a great story. First is the science: It was most interesting to wonder what could have caused this...terrorist? aliens? When we were told that this was caused by a massive CME, I hurt my neck shaking my head. Even a massive CME would not vaporize people, cause others to be blind and deaf but sane, others to be blind and not deaf but sane, and others to be blind, deaf and prone to violent insanity (called "locos" in this book). A massive CME would not leave a huge dark area that was radioactive. Aliens would have made more sense.
Second and always an issue with this author is the very poor editing. So many odd sentences (“Let’s of bleeding heads with my son,”; "“Image,” Trace spoke softly. “These people, at least half"; "Cryng"), so many misused words (Lindquist instead of linguist; murdered instead of murmured; stamped instead of stampede), character names being misspelled; no point in me mentioning the punctuation issues. A great many of these errors could have been found and fixed with a quick proofread. I have read many books by Ms Druga and really do like the imagination she brings to a story, but am usually disappointed by the execution of the writing. Over the years it never seems to improve.

So much potential.
I loved the first few chapters of this book but I felt throughout it didn't really know what it wanted to be. Parts of it just didn't work, or they dragged out. It might just be me though!
I did think the premise was very original and not something I've read in a post-apocalyptic book before. The sense of danger was on a different level from the usual Sci-fi/horror.
Now...the thing that bugged me the most...all of the typos and bad grammar. I feel the author is self-published and I have to give them that but it was off-putting at times when the characters names were wrong, words made sentences hard to understand, and the grammar made the paragraphs read really weird.
If a second book came out I would definitely give it a go, but not on my list of must reads.

DNF @ 5% because I’m so tired of this author thinking her readers aren’t worth spending the money for an editor. But more importantly, that she hasn’t decided to at least take a class or two to perhaps simply do a better job herself. It’s ridiculous. The story was going ok, but geez, it gets tiring reading her books, and apparently this book was where I drew the line.
One thing for sure, I will never read another of her books without reading current reviews first to see if many mention the lack of editing. So tired of authors who think this is ok. I realize that some writers can pull it off because they simply have decent writing skills (with respect to grammar as opposed to storytelling). This writer isn’t one who can. Every single page has at least one error. Every. Single. Page.

This book had the potential to be good, but fell way short. Characters were largely difficult to like, with there being a fairly shallow depth of character.
There was a high number of grammatical errors in this book, I recall thinking that as I was reading and then coming across a line that said “why I done that” and almost giving up. It’s not written that way intentionally to represent the way that character speaks, it’s just wrong. The book is littered with errors and mistakes, which is a shame.
The ending felt almost as though the writer simply gave up. Like certain threads had been explored and no real thought or effort into how to tie them up so a bland and fairly generic ending was created.

Well, I must say I experienced something that has never happened. I hated a character a lot in the middle of the book! I mean loathed her! Shelby is the characters name. Her judging a different character felt wrong to me. I can’t judge someone for choices they make for themselves. Period. You know, walk a mile in their shoes. I got somewhat over most of it by the end. Still lingered but I feel maybe she was better? This story draws you in from the beginning. Probably the fastest book I’ve read in a while. I can’t say to much due to spoilers. The male characters were the best written ones. I applaud that. I highly recommend this book.
January 26, 2025
This is my favorite genre and the story line is worth exploring! But I just found it words. I couldn’t decide what was missing. I never felt the story come alive for me. Just same ol same ol waiting to go home from city to city. The main character asked what’s the point and I felt it. Dreary existence. I felt nothing! I wasn’t moved when she found answers. It was as if the main character never really came alive after she got on that plane except for a brief moment where she fed some of the hungry helpless people. I started to feel something and then NOPE….just more words on a page.
Also typos! Ex: Will became Wil

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This book had a very unique plot. I've read many post-apocalyptic books but I think this is the first one I've read with this kind of catastrophic event. I was so curious about what caused it and why it affected people differently.
I really liked the characters. They were flawed and relatable. Their reactions were plausible and they were developed well.
The pacing was just right. I liked the sense of urgency and how restless Shelby was. She was desperate to find her family.
The ending was ok, although it made me curious about the rest of the world and what happened next.

I’ve read some bad books but man, this is hands down the worst writing I’ve ever seen. This author (although my guess is this is completely AI generated, not written by an actual human) has an allergy to commas, makes constant spelling and grammar mistakes, and writes like they’ve never read a book.
Honestly, there was a sentence that was something like “I video communicated with him via a social media messenger application on the WI-FI” - I almost threw my Kindle across the room. The writing is stiff, awkward, and unrealistic. The characters are one-dimensional and boring AF.
I forced myself to get to 50% and finally gave up. Too bad though, because the concept is actually interesting.

This is an enjoyable read, even though the premise is common. It takes place during an apocalyptic event. People are dying, going blind, deaf, or insane. The few people who are trying to make the best of this disaster are likeable characters. The main character is primarily concerned about getting back to her family. Yet her motherly concern for those who are suffering is noteworthy. She has an amazing amount of empathy.
It was good that this book was short — it didn't cover much ground. I'm glad I read it, and I might want to read more of Druga's novels.

You’re on a plane; step into the bathroom to place a video call to your family and in a flash the World changes.
This book reminded me of Stephen King’s Langoliers. And one of the main characters even referenced that story.
Majority of the people are dead, others are okay, but some have changed into angry people.
I rated this book 3.25❤️. It’s a fast read and satisfied a prompt challenge for Winterween 2025.

Could happen?
Starts out normal. Wife taking off in jet plane from Oklahoma to Los Vegas. The bang! Everything spins out of control. Seems everyone is dead on plane. Then a couple people emerge. But the piglets are dead. How do we land? You'll find out, just read it and you won't be disappointed. To a very climatic end.

April 5, 2025Good story with satisfying ending.
Jacqueline Druga is one of my favorite authors. Aside from the fact that her novels are interesting, characters well defined, these are complete novels. Her novels tell a complete story. This story is about endurance, survival, friendship in the face of insurmountable odds. It's definitely worth reading.

Great concept but…
I really liked the concept of this book and I even liked the characters, but this almost felt like a rough draft. There were quite a few grammatical errors that sometimes made it hard to read sometimes. Most of the book was intriguing and I would like to read more about the event!!

This was a good story and I feel like it could have been 5 stars but just the editing sucked and the grammar errors and sentence structure and even she used the wrong name for one of the characters but omg I loved the premise and where the story was going, so unique but man I wish it just was better written.

The story itself was fine, but the book is riddled with grammatical errors. It’s not just missing commas or occasional typos — it frequently uses the wrong words altogether, which makes it incredibly distracting to read. I found myself stumbling over errors on nearly every page, and each one pulled me out of the story. Thankfully, it was a quick read.

Despite the few typos and editing mistakes, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am a fan of survival situations and unexplained worldly events. This book was Erie and creepy and unexpected. I enjoyed all the characters and how they all have different and real problems and how they all made it work for each other. I enjoyed it a lot

Excellent read
Jackie once again has crafted a very entertaining emotional book. I'm constantly amazed at her ability to give something new in every book. I've been reading and rereading her for years and this is one of her best.
