About this ebook

David Easton believed his life was in complete ruins. He managed to scrape together just enough money for a one-way ticket on the fabulous Oceanis. It was the most luxurious liner afloat and he planned to revel in all its opulent pleasures until in the middle of the Atlantic crossing – he would leap from the fantail, thus ending his pain and misery. The problem was that he never dreamt that while counting down the hours until his death, he would meet Diana.
Despite her traveling with her overly protective parents who hoped to introduce her to a suitable husband while onboard, they managed to find each other. As their affections grew, strange things began happening on the ship. At first, it was just mental images and dreams, but as the days passed their very reality began to bend beyond anything their minds could have imagined.
Together they had to find out what was happening to the Oceanis and how they could find a way to save the great liner and all those aboard her.

Ratings and reviews

David is adrift in life and has decided he no longer wants to be apart of it anymore. He has chosen to board the Oceanis as a sort of last hoorah before he fades into oblivion. While wandering the boat, exploring places he shouldn't go, David finds the infirmary. He accidentally sees his Andrew (his steward) who appears to have a weird growth on his stomach. The next day Andrew isn't seen and all of a sudden no one knows who he is.... OK! What a perfectly creepy, spooky and fun way to kick off October! I actually read this in one day because it was such an easy read to get lost in. I love when the writing flows well and the characters are so likeable. David and Diana have such a fun chemistry, corny jokes included, and I just ate it up.
