Hidden Depths - Araminta Hall

Lily is pregnant, travelling onboard the Titanic to her beloved family, hoping she can get there before her mind and body give up.
For a long time she's known her husband is not the man he's pretending to be and she's not safe.
She meets widower Lawrence on board, knowing he's her last chance for help.
Lawrence knows he hasn't got time to save Lily.
He is the only person on board the unsinkable ship who knows he will not disembark in New York.
And the danger is much worse than either of them could imagine.

I was really intrigued by this one, set aboard the Titanic which I have a bit of a fascination with. It is inspired by the authors own family and great grandfather in particular, who was a survivor of the disaster.

It is dark, full of suspense, chilling and thrilling. I was rooting for both Lily and Lawrence. My heart really went out to them, both suffering in cruel ways. Knowing that the Titanic sinks is inevitable, it really cranks up the tension and I was desperate to know what would happen to them.
