Caz boards a cruise ship destined for New York, only to wake up and find she is the only one on the ship.

I thought this was a really interesting premise and I had a bunch of different theories. I was hoping that it was going to turn out to be something supernatural or super nefarious, unfortunately it was far less exciting. It took way too long to reveal the true nature of what was going on
a game show where the TWO real contestants didn't sign up or know what was going on. All the danger was perceived, not real danger.


There were too many plot holes to allow me to buy this story. How did noone notice a giant cruise ship going in circles in the Atlantic Ocean? How was this legally allowed to happen? Why did noone fight to get them off the boat? Why pretend that everyone was dead? What was the point of having Michelle come out? How did she survive floating in freezing water? 

What was with the dogs? That's all I could think about for half the book. 

Honestly I think it would have been more believable had they stuck with the Red Room story or made it something supernatural.
