Summary

April 10th, 1912: Titanic sails with a dark secret in her cargo hold . . .

An ancient evil has been unleashed on the Ship of Dreams. One night into Titanic’s maiden voyage and passengers go missing, turn up dead, or bear a craving for blood and an aversion to the sun . . .

Together they will unravel what’s brewing in the darkest corners of the ship. The ocean liner’s only refuge is reaching the safety of America. But with Titanic in the throes of its late-night disaster, they realize the icy water won’t be the only danger . . .

My Review

5/5 Stars

Historical fiction can be fun, and this is a good example why.

So many people, including myself, are fascinated with stories of the Titanic, both real stories and fictional ones. I’ve never considered the Titanic could be more of a horror story than it originally was, but this book explored a fun angle I never thought of—what if the Titanic were full of vampires?

Atmospheric and moody, I loved this story and the way it followed characters of different social classes to really give us an idea of what life was like for many different people on the Titanic.

I was captivated to the very end.
