Liv and Will kind of thought it was a joke when they were both accepted into the exclusive SeaMester program - the chance to spend six weeks living and learning on a cruise ship just feels like a dream. But from the outstart Liv feels that something is off about the whole cruise. When Will disappears, she can’t shake the bad feelings, but she also can’t find answers. The only person who even kind of believes her is spoiled rich boy Constantine. By the time Liv finds actual answers, it will already be too late for several people on board.
I was actually bored with this book. The author spends so much time keeping the mystery shrouded from us and Liv - in fact Liv is clueless until 388 pages in. And then after wanting to get off the ship for so long she suddenly doesn’t want to leave it. You should read Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters by Emily Roberson instead - a much better modern take on Mythology. Or Hide by Kiersten White
