A man awakes on a boat at sea with no memory of who he is or how he came to be there. He's not alone - there are six others. None of them can remember their names, but all bear the scars of recent surgery.
When a message appears on the onboard computer - Proceeding to Point A - the group agrees to work together to survive whatever is coming.
But as the boat moves through the mist-shrouded waters, divisions begin to form, and the group is plagued by questions. Who is directing them, why have their memories been wiped, and what are the screams they can hear beyond the mist?
This is a really difficult book to review without giving massive spoilers, just because of the way it's written and the revelations we get as we go through. I can tell you that there's no fluff, the very first sentence has our POV character waking up on the boat knowing nothing about what's happening. Things only intensify from there as the rest of the crew wakes up, some more violently than others.
I often have trouble telling characters apart until we get to know them, and because everyone is amnesiac and don't really have defining traits to start with that was exacerbated here. That's very much a me problem though and I don't think other readers will have the same trouble as I did.
This is fast paced, scary, and things are revealed at just the right pace to keep people interested and reading. I'll enjoy recommending it to people.
Red River Seven publishes on the 10th of October, 2023 in the US and on the 12th of October, 2023 in the UK, using the same cover as far as I can tell now. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
