Not too many people know this about me, but I am fascinated by the Titanic. I love to research the ship and the tragedy online and I would love to see actual artifacts pulled from the ships wreckage. Of course, watching the movie over and over just so that I can fantasize about Leonardo helps also:D So when I found out that this is a paranormal book based off of the Titanic tragedy, I just had to read it! 
 All Tess can think about is getting to NYC so that she can branch out on her own and try to live her life. The family that she works for is downright awful. The only exception to this is the daughter, Irene. She tries to protect Tess and really befriends her. When Tess meets Alec, all bets are off and she finds herself thrust into a world that she could only dream about. It puts her into the utmost danger and it is up to Tess and Alec to save themselves as well as the ones they care about. 
 I loved Alec. He cares so much about everyone else except for himself. He truly loves Tess. Tess is strong toward the end of the book and I really think that she had to come into herself. She was not used to having to fight for anything. My favorite character would have to be Irene. I admired the fact that she stood up for Tess on more than one occasion. Her family is just degrading and I was glad that she at least had some compassion for those less fortunate than her. 
 The ending was surprising and left open. I do not think that this will turn into a series, but the author made it possible if she would want to. I must say that although the beginning of this book was kind of slow to start out, the ending left my heart pounding. A recommended read for lovers of historical fiction.

 Well I guess I know."
