Yeah, I left a few out to make it fit on one line. Paranormal,
suspenseful, death, shocking, abusive, etc.
"These Broken Stars" by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner https://www.amazon.com/These-Broken-Stars-Amie-Kaufman/dp/1423171217/
First book of a three book science fiction space opera romance first
contact young adult series. I read the well printed and well bound
trade paperback published by Little, Brown and Company in 2014 that I
bought new from Amazon. I have purchased the following two books in the series and will be reading them soon.
10,000 years in the future, the Icarus
is the most magnificent of the
millions of spaceships in the human's fleet. Carrying 50,000+ crew and passengers, she had an enormous ballroom and was the fastest of all,
taking only weeks to traverse between the thousands of terraformed
planets in hyperspace what took centuries to traverse in normal space. Personally designed by the great spaceship builder, Roderick LaRoux, she housed the many tens of thousands of crew and passengers in comfort,
even housing a permanent staff of news reporters.
But, even the Icarus is subject to the rules of nature when her
hyperspace engines suddenly fail, restart, fail, restart, and fail
again.
As the crew and passengers are told to go to the lifepods, only
a single pod makes it off the huge ship before it crashes into an
unknown terraformed planet.
That lifepod made it off since Lilac
LaRoux, the daughter of Roderick LaRoux, knew how to bypass the timing
for the hyperspace window to settle down first for safety. Lilac and
Major Tarver Merendsen are the only survivors on a planet without any
other people. Or, are they alone ?

Nature? More like Murphy's Law.

Ouch. I suppose that's why they were in a hurry to
restart the engines. If there's any way to know, now.
So do the ballroom and the onboard journalists
actually do anything? Assuming that this really was
a fatal disaster and not The Squire of Gothos playing
at made-up planets again, which may be, for instance,
conveniently hollow. Like Magrathea. Maybe the Squire
wants a dance. I know I'm in bad taste if everyone's dead.

I assume that a planet is "terraformed" because
somebody terraformed it, probably because they
like Terra. So I expect there's a landlord at least.
Like Magrathea. Or like Trek's "Shore Leave".

The author thought calling it the "Titanic" was too on the nose.
