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.
My first review of Fateful
My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book again! I enjoyed reading it the first time, but its been a while, and I had a chance to read it again, so I took it. What else is the point of owning all these books that I've read, if I'm not going to reread some of them again?
This story of werewolves-while on the Titanic, is such a great read. There's the tense nature of being stuck on a ship, they're contained, but there's also the looming dread, because we know the ship is going to sink. Which is going to cause all sorts of chaos.
Tess is the maid of a noble family-one that has a title, but has lost most of the wealth, and are now looking at ways to bolster the family coffers, mainly by having their children get married, and bring in money that way. But her plan is to walk away once they arrive in America, to start a new life for herself.
Of course things get complicated when the nefarious Mikhail accosts her, and she gets dragged into this world of werewolves. I loved watching everything unfold, with her and Alec, and dealing with the Brotherhood, it was all so entertaining to read!
This was an excellent read, and I can't wait to read more by Claudia Gray!
