Adrift is a fast paced creature feature set on a giant cruise ship’s maiden voyage. I absolutely loved the fast paced story packed with action, creatures, and surprisingly well crafted characters.
This author was not afraid to kill people off and I was genuinely sad at some of the deaths, and even feel that some could have been avoided or were used in cliche ways, which is partially why I couldn’t give this one a perfect rating.
Along with some choices I felt were unnecessary and implicitly a little misogynistic, there were also a few typos throughout which factored into my final rating.
Overall, Adrift isn’t perfect but if you’re looking for a fast paced, action horror with vicious, ancient creatures and fun characters pick this one up! I will definitely be continuing the series.
