A semester abroad on a cruise ship. Magic that 21-year-old Jen didn’t know existed, let alone that she possessed. Stowaway vampires feeding on the passengers. And a group of new friends that have secrets and powers of their own.
I loved this book. There were some grammatical issues and a few bits I found boring, but I adored the characters and couldn’t wait to see what happened next. The descriptions of violence may not be appropriate for younger readers, so use caution. And if you need closure for all subplots at the end, be warned: a major subplot doesn’t get resolved until book 2, Snow Bound (which is also awesome and resolves nicely).
