Having survived sinister scarecrows and the malevolent smiling man in *Small Spaces*, newly minted best friends Ollie, Coco, and Brian are ready to spend a relaxing winter break skiing together with their parents at Mount Hemlock Resort. But when a snowstorm sets in, causing the power to flicker out and the cold to creep closer and closer, the three are forced to settle for hot chocolate and board games by the fire.
Ollie, Coco, and Brian are determined to make the best of being snowed in, but odd things keep happening. Coco is convinced she has seen a ghost, and Ollie is having nightmares about frostbitten girls pleading for help. Then Mr. Voland, a mysterious ghost hunter, arrives in the midst of the storm to investigate the hauntings at Hemlock Lodge. Ollie, Coco, and Brian want to trust him, but Ollie’s watch, which once saved them from the smiling man, has a new cautionary message: BEWARE.
With Mr. Voland’s help, Ollie, Coco, and Brian reach out to the dead voices at Mount Hemlock. Maybe the ghosts need their help–or maybe not all ghosts can or should be trusted. Dead Voices is a terrifying follow-up to *Small Spaces* with thrills and chills galore and the captive foreboding of a classic ghost story.

Quick, fast paced and intense. This time around I knew the kids were going to be OK because this is a series so I wasn't as scared for them as I was when reading Small Spaces I just didn't know how they were going to make it out of this situation. Read it nearly all in one sitting and will be reading the next book.
I expected an average ghost story. Nothing as scary as book 1. I was wrong! This is nearly as scary as book 1. I love this series!
The atmosphere is creepy. The ghosts are scary. The multiple points of view are great. It is vaguely reminiscent of Coraline.
An atmospheric and entertaining sequel to Small Spaces, Dead Voices still follows the trio, Ollie, Coco and Brian, where they went into a newly opened ski lodge as they embark to another spooky adventure. I liked how clever this book was and its pretty creepy for a middle grade book. I also loved how Coco's character was developed starting off as being scared to being brave and determined. However, I thought that the storyline is kind of cliche/unoriginal and the twists are also predictable. I'm also hoping to see more of Brian in the next book because we didn't get much of him in this. But I still enjoyed it nonetheless and I'm now truly convinced to continue on with the series.
