This book was amazing! It's basically about a couple of vampires that go on board a booze cruise and quickly start infecting everyone else.

It was a little slow to start, but once it starts to pick up it's hard to put down. I liked the fact that the book switches between point of views; there are quite a few characters in the book but it doesn't make it difficult to follow along. I also liked how well written everyone was, especially Dan, who actually terrified me at times.

I definitely recommend this if you're looking for a creepy vampire book to read! ( )

I really loved how this started out. It set up all these characters, the great setting and slowly introduced the plot in a way that definitely felt rather Stephen King-ish (but let's be real, it's not set in Maine so it's not ever gonna be truly Stephen King-ish). I was loving it and didn't want to put it down (sadly I had to do that quite often).

Then shit hit the fan and I think it became too much. There was so much gore, I mean I don't mind descriptions of gross stuff, not really, but when that's all you're getting for several hundreds pages it stops being gross, stops affecting you, you just end up ... fed up. Not exactly the word I thought I would be using about a book about vampires.

Plus the ending left, at least for me, quite a lot to desire. Many plotlines felt unresolved (no "they were eaten by a vampire" doesn't count as resolution) and the hint that it wasn't completely over yet just made me wonder why the book ended there. Couldn't we have skipped like a hundred pages of gore and gotten a better ending?

Oh well. A great set-up and a disappointing ending IS very Stephen King. ( )

Gav upp ungefär halvvägs. ( )

I hate everything....in a good way! I cared about the main characters and could't put the book down when I started reading. ( )
