Sweet
By Emmy Laybourne
“The luxurious celebrity cruise launching the trendy new diet sweetener Solu should be the vacation of a lifetime. But Laurel is starting to regret accepting her friend Viv’s invitation. She’s already completely embarrassed herself in front of celebrity host Tom Forelli-the hottest guy ever!-and she’s too sick to even try the sweetener. And that’s before Viv and all the other passengers start acting really strange.
Tom knows that he should be grateful for this job and the chance to shed his former-child-star image. His publicists have even set up a ‘romance’ with a reality star. But as things on the ship start to get wild, he finds himself drawn to a different girl. And when the hosting gig turns into an expose on the shocking side effects of Solu, it’s Laurel that he’s determined to save.
Emmy Laybourne, author of the Monument 14 trilogy, takes readers on a dream vacation in Sweet that goes first comically, then tragically, then horrifyingly, wrong! ” ~from the publisher
What I thought: This book is not for the faint of heart! It gave me nightmares y'all!! It starts out as this normal book where our heroine goes on a "too good to be cruise" and then takes a turn to the dark side. I really don't want to say too much about this book for fear I might give something away. All I can say is it feels a bit too much like it can happen and it's a very scary book. I would recommend this to all my Monument 14 readers who are sad I can't have Monument 14 in the library because it reviews for 9 and up. Happy Reading!
