Midnight on the Celestial

£16.99

This outstanding book is ideal for readers who appreciate complex storylines that are a bit darker. I always enjoy stories set on ships because they allow you to truly understand the characters, given that they are all confined together. Heiress Roe Damarcus fails her trial to retain her magic and boards the ship Celestial in hopes of earning a retrial. However, life aboard is far from simple, hundreds of other staff members are also competing for the chance at a retrial, and the vessel is nothing like the holiday cruise she remembers from her summer holidays. Instead, it becomes a floating nightmare. This gripping story is both gruesome, and fantastical. I especially appreciated that it stands alone as a complete tale.

Description

Prepare to be enchanted and terrified by Julia Alexandra’s debut enemies-to-lovers horror-fantasy, Midnight on the Celestial, set on a nightmarish ocean liner.

When heiress Roe Damarcus fails a trial to keep her magic, deemed too dangerous for society, she finds herself serving aboard the Celestial, her family’s luxurious magical cruise ship where staff members compete for guest votes to earn a coveted retrial.

As a concierge, Roe juggles the demands of affluent guests, cruel bosses, and the suspicion that an infuriatingly handsome silks performer, Ivander, is determined to sabotage her.

But the true dangers surface at night when the ship of dreams transforms into a nightmare, killing all who wander its halls. Roe must uncover the secrets of the ship, her family, and their entwined bloody past before she becomes the Celestial’s next victim.

Staff or guest, no-one is safe in these waters.
