Who knew vengeful ghosts on the titanic could be so dull and disappointing.

This book initially drew me in because I found the idea of the supernatural mixed in with the Titanic to be fascinating. However, at times I found the story difficult to keep up with as it jumps from various character perspective and from past and present quite frequently. While, I enjoyed the story, I was a little disappointed with its ending, it felt a little unsatisfying and happened very abruptly.

this is not a horror story, but a telenovela, and a boring one at that. anniebear, kill yourself.

my favorite quote: "Perhaps she was not pregnant with a girl after all, she thought, but a boy. The rush of desire she sometimes felt these past few months was positively masculine." ♡
