A Bloody Good Cruise

By: Diana Rubino

Narrated by: Anthony Lee

Romance writer Mona Rossi's book sales are slipping. She needs new ideas and fast! Her vampire love, Fausto Silvius is a doctor aboard the Romanza, a luxury cruise ship. Holding a "Motion on the Ocean" writer's cruise sounds like a great idea. What better way to combine a career boost with romance?

But they soon discover hunters on board who give chase to Fausto and his fellow vampires. While he longs to bring Mona into his world, how can he convince her to join him with fringe lunatics on the hunt? In the prime of her life she's not sticking her neck out for a shot at eternity.

Sound quality issues. Story fun and light.

I very much like the characters in all their glory, failure, striptease, hunting, turning, and all. I could really visualize Mona as Anne Hathaway. Many of the other character came to life just by the things that they were doing or trying to do. And having a dream cast list to match the various characters to just made things happen clearer while listening to the audio.
Now on to the audio. The audio was a bit echoie. The narrator was good, but it was the sound quality that detracted from the story and the narration.

Dream Cast from author...
Anne Hathaway as Mona Rossi
Vincent Irizarry as Fausto Silvius
Gwen Stefani as Teresa “Tessie” Lionetti
James Franco as Quintus Silvius
Michelle Pfeiffer as Zanna Jones
Michael Caine as Royal Jones

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Anthony Lee. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Good LOL story

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. Although, from reading the description you would think this was a romantic suspense story, it was actually a romantic comedy for me. The narrator did not float my boat, pun intended. But there were several parts of the story that were laugh out loud moments for me. Either because the narration was not so good or the story was just plain funny. There were some serious issues with how the story was told and I assume the author wanted them to be funny. If not they were funny to me. The romance was sprinkled in just enough to keep the story going. I am not sure if the author intended for this to be a funny vampire story but it made my day.

Bloody Cruise

This is a first for me with this author. I am so glad I gave this a listen. The action and suspense of this paranormal romance kept you glued to your earbuds. Vampires, Romance and a cruise, what's not to love. Anthony Lee did a great job also.

Enjoyed

This cruise will be interesting. A murderer, Vampires. Vampire hunters and a Vampire wedding. What could be more fun. The story line is very interesting and kept me entertained throughout the book. The vampires in this book are not your average vampires. They are generally good people but the hunters say otherwise. The narrator did a great job with the characters voices. I was gifted this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting Paranormal Romance

This was my first Diana Rubino's book. This paranormal romance was nothing like what I have read before. The storyline is complex, interesting, fun, and filled with mystery, suspense, danger, action, and drama. With vampires and hunters in the same cruise, unexpected adventures are unavoidable! The ending is great. Anthony Lee did a good reading of this story. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook — at my request — and have voluntarily left this review.
