Really loved this book. Although I found the marketed tropes to miss some key plot bits, I still liked how the story developed. 
The whole King and Sullivan sub-plot felt very out of place IMO. It felt like it was just a tease to keep reading the series to find out more. I do see how that history could affect other teased relationships in other upcoming books, but as a plot point in this one - it felt very out of place and random.

I will definitely pick up other books in this series because I like a lot of the side characters and the teased pairs for upcoming books.

It was a pretty entertaining read, but I felt like I just wanted more from it. The horror wasn't as dark as I expected or as the story was giving room for. There were times when I wished the author went a bit further. I also wanted more from the relationships of the crew.
The ending also left more to desire, like if there were any lasting consequences on the characters. Things kinda wrapped up too quickly considering we never found out what really happened.

Gossip Girl meets After(book series).
Definition of a guilty pleasure. Great as a palate cleanser.
