| Fateful by Claudia Gray |
You can find me snug up on my beanbag at home with my nose deep in a book, and it's no surprise that the subject of that book happens to be of the Titanic. When I searched through my library's online catalog to look through all five pages of Titanic-related books and movies they had, I was stunned and ecstatic to find that four new books had been added! I decided to pick up the YA novel Fateful by Claudia Gray first.
Never would I have suspected what I just read.
Werewolves? On the Titanic?! "You've got to be kidding me!" was my first reaction. Then I thought, "Is this at all disrespectful?" Let me just point out that I'm not the biggest Twilight fan, but I decided to give this Jack-and-Rose Titanic romance crossed over with Taylor Lautner-impersonating werewolves a chance.
Of course, I loved it. The novel is about a maid, Tess Davies, who wants to leave her old life as a servant and start anew in America. Little does she know that during that ill-fated voyage she would meet supernatural beings -- werewolves -- one who will protect and the other who will harm. She never expected to be falling in love with Alec Marlowe: Her protector, a monster, a beast, the only thing her heart desires. Yet, she does -- and he does, too.
A very romantic plot with memorable dialogue and accurate details of the Titanic's voyage. I was surprised it was so good. I'll be rooting for a sequel! Maybe World War I drama or something? Anyway, I recommend this book as a must-read, especially if you like history and werewolves. (Can I convince you more by saying Alec is a red wolf, just like Jacob Black?)
