Blood Cruise

 A Deep Sea Terror Is On The Loose

5 out of 5 stars

Ben Clow, the story’s protagonist, is one of the unlikely heroes.  He’s been up against bad guys in his life as a Rounder.  But he thought that he put that life behind him and now just blogs about poker.  But Ben is quickly thrown into the fire when their simple poker game on a ritzy boat (yacht) starts to go south.

Andrew Tell is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators.  His use of different voices for different people and the execution of this makes each and every story feel like its own.  But Tell is also able to make each story flow with such ease.

This story is nuts! I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen when I first started it, but Bible was able to write two stories that interconnected into one awesome story.  I found myself sitting in my car numerous times when I was home, trying to get further into the story.

The main antagonist of the story seems to be the sea creature that I will not write much about.  This creature is really well explained and even believable with the way that it’s written about.  Let’s just say that I would be absolutely terrified. It absolutely terrorizes the group of people and feels never-ending.

The story felt like a combination of a lot of other stories and movies that I enjoy.  I won’t list them, but believe me, when I say that if you like “deep-sea” movies like Jaws and Deep Blue Sea, you will enjoy this.  Also, if you enjoy James Bond movies (especially Casino Royale) this book will definitely be enjoyable for you.
