She is confronted with a black wolf that seems intent on hurting her. The only thing that saves her is a young man who steps between her and the wolf, telling the wolf to leave and strangely it does. Yet before she can thank the young man who saved her, he tells her that she must leave post haste or she will die. Frightened, Tess returns home. When the Lisle family takes leave to New York aboard the Titanic, Tess again meets the young man. He is Alec Marlowe, heir to the Marlowe steel company, and although she knows nothing can ever happen between them, she can't help by be drawn to him. But Alec has a secret. He is a werewolf, and not the only one on board. Can Alec be freed from the curse of changing each and every night? Can he escape the Brotherhood; a collection of werewolf thugs? Can the love that Alec and Tess have for each other overcome all the obstacles in their way and finally be together?

Add a CommentOMG I LOVE THIS BOOK AND I LOVE HOW CLAUDIA GRAY ALWAYS USES VAMPIRES OR WEREWOLVES.If u liked this book and u haven't read the evernight series u should sooo read the evernight series.
Claudia Gray has done a wonderful job with this book. Alex and Tess live out a wild and haunting journey on the Titanic. Really liked the book and wish Claudia would write a sequel. Werewolves and romance, but with a different twist.
I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD THIS BOOK!!! at first i was iffy about it because of the history of the Titanic, but i instantly fell in love with Alec && Tess. hoping for both of them to get past everything!! i loved it and would re read it again and again!!! big thumbs up to Claudia Gray
AMAZING!!claudia gray is an amazing author and this book was......AMAZING!!
love it! this story plot was totally UNEXPECTED!!! and the setting makes the story even better!
This book is not just a werewolf story, but a werewolf story on the Titanic. I still can't decide whether that's doubly cliche or absolutely brilliant. Besides that, I found that it was neither terrible nor wonderful, although it is rather descriptive, and sounds like it follows the culture of the time. All in all, not exceptional, but a good read all the same.
That's right, it's a novel about werewolves on the Titanic. If you're shaking your head in horror at the things that publishers will put in print, move right along. If you're mildly intrigued and want to know how on earth someone could possibly make this plot work, give it a try. Gray manages to balance supernatural romance with a real historical background fairly deftly. Is it ever truly believable? Not really, but it's fun to read anyway. While some of the dialogue between Tess and Alec can be a little too earnest and the mythology of the werewolves is never fully explained allowing for some plot points to be resolved a little too easily for the discerning reader, it's an enjoyable read nonetheless. Tess is a very strong character and there are hints of Upstairs, Downstairs type drama that makes the novel even more enjoyable. However, be warned that this is much more of a werewolf novel that just happens to be set on the Titanic. The ill-fated ocean liner serves more as a background and impetus for action in the plot, rather than being a focal point of the novel. Not for everyone, but a decent romp if it strikes your fancy.
Fateful is a fantastically written historical romance with a unique and original twist on the paranormal side. I just loved this book, and I hope that there is a second, third, maybe more. I see a great series potential here.
It's the Titanic! With Werewolves! For something that could have been AWFUL I found it entertaining, romantic and thrilling at times. Looks like it is going to be a series too.
Amazing book!!!! The plot wasn't too predictable and the characters were very detailed!
