Synopsis: A deadly virus has been unleashed aboard a passenger ship.
Soon the ship will be overrun with blood and death.
There's nowhere to escape.
But there are heroes onboard too.
Heroes like Jack Wardsley, a disgraced police officer with nothing left to lose, or the mysterious 'Pathwalker,' a stranger with the power to see the the future and alter the passage of time. Saving the passengers onboard will be next to impossible, but they will have no choice but to try. Failure might mean the end of the world.
I was really looking forward to reading this book—I mean, a time loop during a zombie outbreak on a cruise??
I loved the combination of all of that, especially because I previously read 2389 by this same author and really enjoyed it! However, I didn’t love it as much as I anticipated. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t great. This book had an awful lot of tangents for such a short book. I feel like the main story got lost amidst all the side plots and personal grudges that I honestly didn’t care about, which is a shame because the book started off great!
I really enjoyed the beginning of this book because I wanted horror and it definitely delivered! It was horrifying and gory and I loved that the zombies were of the fast variety! It was SO good! I also really enjoyed the story and the main character trying to figure out what caused the time loop and trying to break it. But things really slowed down in the middle with the side plots.
However, even though the plot got lost a little in the middle there, I liked the premise overall and I really enjoyed the horror and gore of it all. It was a quick, horrifying read, which is exactly what I wanted.

ahh those "not bad but not good either" books are somehow the hardest to describe. If it were really bad, you could rant about it and if it were really good, you could hype it up. This way it's just meh 😅 So sad you didn't fully enjoy it but I'm glad that there were at least some positive aspects 😄 Hopefully your next read will blow you away
ReplyDeleteYeah, these are always harder to review. Lol. But it had some genuinely good parts! Ah well. Can't win them all. Lol.
