But, it's part of a series, of course, so it had to have a cliffhanger. The story itself -- both that of the storm/tsunami and the mystery -- was good. I found myself holding my breath with Shy when he was trying escape the sinking ship. The descriptions of the fight for survival were evocative. I figured out the mystery by the time Shy and Addi were on the boat and talking to each other. The rest of the book was just a confirmation of that. I listened to the audiobook version of this, and the narrator was very good. Do not start reading this just before bed. You will be very tired the next day. This was a great post-apocalyptic story, although you don't actually get to the disaster part until about half-way through. But that's not all it is. It's also a fantastic medical thriller. I was not expecting that to be part of the story, but it was a perfect fit. I really like a good mix with a pharmacutical twist. I read this thinking it was a standalone disaster book, but now I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. And definitely rethinking my urge to go on a cruise. RGG: The plot seems a bit thin, but the premise is scarily plausible. However, the main character, Sly, is infinitely likeable, and you read along routing for him. The short chapters enhance the page-turner quality. The age and romantic feelings make this book YA although nothing explicit happens or is alluded to. Apparently this is the start of a series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Henry Leyva did a good job with the narration. However, only the adolescent audience at which this thriller was aimed might find the big reveal to be a surprise; I found the plot to be predictable on all points. Not bad but not good enough to tempt me to read further books... ( )
