Your dining times are scheduled, unless you wish to hit up the buffet where more food than you could ever imagine is piled in mountains on the serving tables. Your luggage is brought to your stateroom, where your excursion tickets await. From the moment you board to the time you disembark, everything is organized and planned for your pleasure and convenience. If you’ve ever been on one, then you know the drill.

The much prayed for rescue never comes, and as the days go by, things get worse – the toilets stop running, food starts spoiling, and all over the ship, reports are coming in about passengers and crew members seeing and hearing some strange, impossible things…īefore this book, I’d never considered how much we take for granted on a cruise. The ship suddenly stops dead in the water – no power, no radio, no cellphone signals. It’s New Year’s Eve on the final night and everyone’s ready to party and usher in a fresh new start, when the unthinkable happens. This is the story about the Beautiful Dreamer, a cruise ship carrying just under 3000 souls on board for her four-days-fight-nights voyage through the Gulf of Mexico.

Thing is, The Three may have scared the living daylights out of me, but hey, I was already afraid of flying.ĭay Four, however, may have just ruined cruising for me as well.

This year she’s set to dominate my Best-Of lists again with her new book Day Four. Sarah Lotz topped my 2014 Horror/Thriller list with her book The Three, terrifying me with a story about four deadly plane crashes and three mysterious child survivors. Publisher: Little, Brown and Company (June 16, 2015) A review copy was provided to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
