<b>What I loved:</b>
-The cover is spooky!
-Neat concept
-Writing style is easy to follow
-The first chapter of the book is really good.
-Very satisfying ending.
-Quicker, easy read and page turner.

<b>What prevented this from being a 5 star read for me:</b>
-I felt the author had a really cool concept to work with of a boat with a cult and some crazy things could happen. The book was a lot more of mending toxic family drama, alcoholism, and a lot of other dark things that didn't seem to further the plot.
-I struggled to get into this book as the concepts did not feel real. From the way things were described to the character development, this book felt dry? The name Xclivity just threw me off. I know it's meant to be a weird wellness brand cult of sorts, but it didn't feel real?
-Dark concepts are thrown in, but they do not add to the plot. They are seemingly thrown in?

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you for the opportunity to read this! Just because it's not my favorite, doesn't mean it won't be yours.
