Good Evening Booklovers! I am stoked to be part of the @storygramtours for The Last Cruise by Fiona Davis! If you are looking for a book filled with thrills, romance and great twist and turns look no further! Thanks so much to @doubledaybooks for sending me a copy! Check out the synopsis below! ⭐️?⭐️ SYNOPSIS The 1950s vintage ocean liner Queen Isabella is making her final voyage before heading to the scrapyard. For the guests on board, among them Christine Thorne, a former journalist turned Maine farmer, it’s a chance to experience the bygone mid-20th century era of decadent luxury cruising, complete with fine dining, classic highballs, string quartets, and sophisticated jazz. Smoking is allowed but not cell phones–or children, for that matter. The Isabella sets sail from Long Beach, CA into calm seas on a two-week retro cruise to Hawaii and back. But this is the second decade of an uncertain new millennium, not the sunny, heedless fifties, and certain disquieting signs of strife and malfunction above and below decks intrude on the festivities. Down in the main galley, Mick Szabo, a battle-weary Hungarian executive sous-chef, watches escalating tensions among the crew. Meanwhile, Miriam Koslow, an elderly Israeli violinist with the Sabra Quartet, becomes increasingly aware of the age-related vulnerabilities of the ship herself and the cynical corners cut by the cruise ship company, Cabaret. When a time of crisis begins, Christine, Mick, and Miriam find themselves facing the unknown together in an unexpected and startling test of their characters. #TheLastCruiseTour #FionaDavis #TheLastCruise #Mystery #Thriller #DoubleDayBooks #PenguinRandomHouse #storygramtours #bookstareads #readstagram #summertbr #summerreading #readergirl #reading #bookishme
The Last Cruise, by Kate Christensen | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | @doubledaybooks #partner • The Queen Isabella ocean liner is taking her last voyage before being retired and sold for parts. It's going to be completely vintage: no internet or TV, classic menus from the 50s, dressing for dinner. Through the eyes of a passenger, a cook, and a violinist in the string quartet, we see the straining tensions on board and then, when crisis strikes, how they are tested. • This took me a while to get into. The blurb mentions a vague "crisis" (and for that reason I won't spoil that here) that I kept waiting and waiting for... all while being introduced to a few more characters than I thought strictly necessary. I didn't find the characters instantly likeable, either, but their complexities grew on me. It hooked me in a strange way. • Although I really enjoyed parts of this novel, I don't think it quite achieved what it set out to do. I love the "closed room" concept of a group of characters stuck together in mid-ocean, the whole atmosphere of the cruise and dynamic between upstairs and downstairs. This is probably one of those books I'll pass in the library in a year and have vague memories that I liked it, but nothing more specific. • • • #bookgeek #booknerd #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #allthebooks #fiction #bookish #booksbooksbooks #bookaholic #ilovebooks #ilovebooks #addictedtobooks #readersofinstagram #readinglife #readmore #alwaysreading #bookworm #amreading #readreadread #unitedbookstagram #bookreview #katechristensen #thelastcruise

Talk about timing! Thanks to @doubledaybooks and @netgalley for this review copy of THE LAST CRUISE, which I downloaded just in time for our snow day! . . ❄️ 2 inches will shut down everything here in N.C... so when we get 8+ inches it’s a blizzard! {and it’s still coming down} ❄️ . Been curled up with this ARC today (out July 2018) and I’m loving it so far! It’s perfectly descriptive without being overly wordy & I’m dreaming of being on a cruise ? to Hawaii! ? . . . #arc #doubleday #doubledaybooks #katechristensen #snowday #snowdayreading #northcarolina #greensboro #gso #gsonc #somuchsnow #bookstagram #bookandsnow #snowandabook #staywarm #netgalley #advancedreaderscopy
