Adrift
Adrift #1
by K R Griffiths
Genre: Horror / Paranormal
My Review
Newlywed’s Dan and Elaine are on a honeymoon cruise. They’re starting a new life together and hoping that Dan can make more headway dealing with his agoraphobia. It sounds romantic and hopeful. Now, this is the author’s cue to toss in the monkey wrench. Dan sees what appears to be a body being tossed overboard. That mystery soon takes a back seat when a mysterious container is dropped on board and out pours things more fiendish than his phobia could dream up.
Putting a bunch of people in a life threatening situation with nowhere to run is a favorite scenario for me. I enjoy trying to guess who steps up to the plate, who tucks tail and runs and who becomes part of the menu. There’s plenty of character’s to choose from and with only a few I actually was pulling for, that left a bunch as appetizers.
Adrift would be a killer movie. A whole lot of runnin and screamin and good old horror on the high seas. I ate it up.

Synopsis
For artist Dan Bellamy and his new bride Elaine, a trip on the world’s biggest, newest cruise ship represents more than just the honeymoon of a lifetime: it is also a celebration of the progress Dan has made toward beating the agoraphobia that has plagued him since he suffered a horrific knife attack two years earlier.
The ship is a perfect floating paradise, but when Dan spots what he thinks is a body being thrown overboard, he begins to suspect that not everybody aboard the Oceanus is there for a vacation.
Soon, Dan will discover that there are some things worse than murder, and the body he saw is just the beginning. Because something is coming for the passengers on the Oceanus.
Something that isn’t supposed to exist…

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
At first I thought this was going to be a crime mystery thing but I’m intrigued by what comes along next! I also like the settings where there is no way to escape!
What comes next is crazy. It’s a bloody, insane battle for survival. Makes me rethink a cruise. LOL
ooh yes i love horror on high seas!!! One for my TBR list!! Happy Friday 🙂
Me too. No safe place to run to and you don’t want to dive overboard. Sharks! LOL
Sounds good and horror at sea is always fun!
The last high seas horror I read was with killer mermaids. This is even scarier than those.
I don’t read much in this genre but this does sound creepy good. A mystery/ suspense along with the horror. Anne – Books of My Heart
I devour this type of story and always snatching up more!
Great review. I loved this one too.

It got insane once the things pouring out of the container didn’t it!
