3.5/5
Vampyr splatter skräck på Finlands färjan där flera av karaktärerna jag trodde skulle klara sig inte gjorde det. Full av representation (hbtq+, fysiskt handikapp, adoption, pensionär, etc) som inte känns tvingad eller används som en plot device. Karaktärer som känns igen från ens eget liv, plot twists som känns precis lagom förvånande, och precis som med hans bok Hemmet är slutet på nivån "typ bra?" men med en hint av att det inte alls är över.

Allt som allt, schysst läsning som började segt men tog sig halvvägs igenom. Men jag tyckte bättre om Hemmet. Ser fram emot nästa!

Highly entertaining with well thought of characters that feel alive and acts according to their individuality.
   Interesting setting that creates tension of its own. 
   The plot becomes a bit drawn out and single purposed.

Det kommer dröja innan jag vill åka färja igen. Otroligt läskig bok, ibland får man pausa innan man vågar läsa vidare. Mats kan det här med att skriva!

Started off kind of slow, but it finally picked up and it was a page turner. Thought there could've been more character development so I cared more about what happened to the characters. It was hard to differentiate between the characters for awhile.

The name of the book says it all...Blood Cruise. I thought this book would be better. I enjoyed the beginning of the book and getting to know the characters. Because there were so many characters I had a really hard time caring for any of them.
