As the story goes back and forth between the past on the Titanic and the present time on the hospital ship it begins to weave together a paranormal element that connects both time lines.
While I did enjoy this story as a fan of historical fiction, it was not exactly what I was expecting since it was listed under horror. I would recommend this book for those who enjoy historical fiction and all who love anything to do with the Titanic since it seems quite well researched, but I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a scare.
4 out of 5 stars
I received an advance copy for review.
