Fateful, Claudia Gray


FatefulThe RMS Titanic is the most luxurious ship ever built, but for eighteen-year-old Tess Davies it’s a prison. Travelling as a maid for the family she has served for years, Tess is trapped in their employ amid painful memories and family secrets. When she meets Alec, a handsome upper class passenger, Tess falls helplessly in love. But Alec has secrets of his own… and soon Tess is entangled in a dangerous game. A sinister brotherhood that will do anything to induct Alec into their mystical order has followed him on board. And Tess is now their most powerful pawn. Tess and Alec fight the dark forces threatening to tear them apart, never realizing that they will have to face an even greater peril before the journey is over…



"Fateful" is truly an epic retelling of the voyage of the Titanic. I kept forgetting the ship was going to sink and then... It was amazingly written and the cast of boisterous and fascinating characters brought the book to life. The plot was delicious, a real page turner! The werewolves were interesting, but I feel they were not used to their true potential. Even though I loved the story, I really didn't like the end. I wont go into detail, but I feel that Tess was just too lucky. The scene when the ship sank was horrifying, it was beautifully written! Precious details brought the color into my mind, a true image of what it was like on the Titanic! I really loved "Fateful"!
