About this ebook

A juicy thriller of jealousy, love, and betrayal set on a Semester at Sea-inspired cruise ship, with a diverse cast of delightfully suspicious characters who’ll leave you guessing with every jaw-dropping twist.

After being jilted by her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Jade couldn't be more ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime—11 countries in 4 months, all from the luxurious Campus on Board ship—and to wedge an entire globe between her and the people who broke her heart.

But when Jade discovers the backstabbing couple are also setting sail, her obsession with them grows and festers, leading to a shocking murder. And as their friends begin to drop like flies, Jade and her new crush must race to clear her name and find the killer they’re trapped at sea with….before anyone else winds up in body bags.

Perfect for readers of Natalie D. Richards, E. Lockhart, and Karen McManus!

While I did have my theories, some of which proved to be true, I still wasn't able to guess how it all worked together. The mystery was intriguing and had some layers to it. I really think the suspects could have used some work, there weren't a lot of options, that was probably the weakest area.

This one sounded like it was going to be good but I was a bit disappointed. It was pretty predictable and I was able to guess most of the ending early on in the book.
