Cursed Cruise (Horror Hotel #2) by Victoria Fulton and Faith McClaren

This is the sequel to the first Ghost Gang adventure, Horror Hotel, and this time they’re going on a cruise…but it’s cursed. You can read this one by itself, but some things might not be explained all the way. I liked being back with this group of characters again and seeing where they were in life after the events of the first book.


We catch up with them as they’re about to board the RMS Queen Anne luxury liner, a ship with a past full of deaths (and hauntings). Things go wrong on the first night when a member of their group goes missing and it just gets worse from there. There’s a mystery in this one on top of the hauntings just like last time as well as some drama between the characters.


I enjoyed getting each character’s pov like in the last book, and the first 3/4 of the book was fun, but I felt like the ending was a bit rushed and things were tied up a bit too neatly. I wouldn’t have minded the book being a few chapters longer to let things fully play out.


Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own. This book will be available on (or around) March 19, 2024 in paperback and on Kindle.
