'I will never set foot on a cruise ship again!' - ?sa Larsson, bestselling author of The Second Deadly Sin and Until thy Wrath Be Past On the Baltic Sea, no one can hear you scream. Tonight, twelve hundred expectant passengers have joined the booze-cruise between Sweden and Finland. The creaking old ship travels this same route, back and forth, every day of the year. But this trip is going to be different. In the middle of the night the ferry is suddenly cut off from the outside world. There is nowhere to escape. There is no way to contact the mainland. And no one knows who they can trust. Welcome aboard the Baltic Charisma. 'Blood Cruise is terrifying and terrifying real, a must-read for fans of Stephen King and John Ajvide Lindqvist' - Elizabeth Hand, author of Generation Loss and Hard Light

I liked how there were quite different characters but I would have loved to have at least one who wasn't living a depressing life.

I thought this would offer more thrilling moments but things went forward quite fast and it took a while before some hope showed up. I think I enjoyed most that part because I love to root for characters.

This was quite a page-turner!

Mats Strandberg‘s vampire horror thriller is an entertaining mix of THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE meets 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and although the wide cast is broadly drawn, there‘s enough in the page to make me care about what happens to the central characters and the fun comes from seeing who deservedly (or undeservedly) dies or survives and although there‘s nothing terribly original here I would nevertheless check out Strandberg‘s other work.

kamoorephoto This looks glorious. The cover reminds me of the scene in The Shining... 6y

Mehso-so

Out in the middle of the ocean, no one can hear you scream. Passengers are trapped onboard a cruise ship miles from land, when a mysterious illness starts to spread. Rather bleak writing style but it builds to a blood soaked finale. Rating: 3 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, Quercia Books, for the opportunity to review an ARC.
