Great

read the second in the trilogy first without realizing it and then read thru this one in a few hours. couldn't put it down

I went into this book expecting a "zombie" story. I was surprised at the plot twist that made it something a bit more. Granted, the actual storyline was a bit strange but, overall not a bad book.

mysterious tense fast-paced

If you’re into thrillers with a twist, this is for you! Jack finds himself stuck on a cruise where everyone dies from a mysterious illness, only for the day to reset ⏳… again and again. Fast paced, no chapters, under 200 pages 🙌🏼 and Zombies!

Deff one of his better ones that I read. I enjoyed the story, enough to read the sequel?? Hmmm. Not enough to pay for it to be honest. But the storyline as all his books are, was entertaining.

A surprising and effective twist on the zombie theme. This is a great horror story, I love that Wright gets straight into things and keeps the pacing up throughout the book. The character unfold slowly, and it's easy to care about them, no one feels two-dimensional, and they are all well written.
The zombie-like creatures are actually more of a background horror to the Groundhog Day that Jack experiences, and the hopelessness that comes with it. But I loved how savage they were - they have the feel of 28 Days Later rather than Night of the Living Dead.
There's plenty of great horror in this book, and so much to enjoy. A proper page turner.

Groundhog Day + World War Z + Cruise Ship = Sea Sick. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I didn't expect the twists and turns. I think I will pick up the second book!

The first book I read by this author. I loved it so much, that I'm on his third book now...all read one after the other, as I'm enjoying the fact that the themes are so different in each of the books I chose to read.

This one was very interesting most of the time, it kind of started dragging at the middle but it picked up, didn't like the ending though but I guess I don't see it ending an other way.

A very satisfying read that introduced me a great new author (new to me).
