Eighteen-year-old maid Tess Davies is
determined to escape the wealthy, troubled family she serves. It’s 1912, and
Tess has been trapped in the employ of the Lisles for
years, amid painful memories and twisted secrets. But now the Lisle
family is headed to America, with Tess in tow. Once the ship
they’re sailing on—the RMS Titanic—reaches its destination, Tess
plans to strike out and create a new life for herself.
Her single-minded focus shatters when she
meets Alec, a handsome first-class passenger who captivates her instantly. But
Alec has secrets of his own. He’s in a hurry to leave Europe, and whispers
aboard the ship say it’s because of the tragic end of his last affair with the
French actress who died so gruesomely and so mysteriously. . . .
Soon Tess will learn just how dark Alec’s
past truly is. The danger they face is no ordinary enemy: werewolves exist
and are stalking him—and now her, too. Her growing love for Alec will put Tess in
mortal peril, and fate will do the same before their journey on the Titanic is over.
Review:
This book is
such a page turner. And I'm not saying that sarcastically. I really loved it
especially the main character. She's no afraid to stand her ground and she
immediately knows when a person may become her friend and when when they might
not. She is resourceful and can do snappy banter. Especially with
her seriously stupid and really annoying stalker wolf. What part of no is
hard for him to understand.
The near end
of the book was somewhat sad. I mean the Titanic sank and many people that Tess
cares about dies. And then there's the story of her sister and what happens
between her and the young heir of the Lisle family. Also the young lady who
Tess serves turns out to have a dark secret. She finds out that she and
one of the servants, Ned, had been in love and Irene had miscarried his baby.
Altogether, this book has
surprises in every chapter and I hope she makes a sequel. I'd give it 5 stars.
