Blood Cruise by Mats Strandberg
Dec. 22nd, 2018 11:07 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
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.
Relationships are about to be tested. Ordinary people are forced to become heroes. But what happens this night may also bring out the worst in people …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
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 on the page to 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 definitely check out Standberg’s other work.
BLOOD CRUISE was released in the United Kingdom on 12th July 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
