Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing this book for review for me. This in no way influences my thoughts or opinions



Well, this was unexpected.

This book does take a little bit to get into which kind of sucks because it is a shorter story. I love the blending of the past and the present as we unravel the mystery from both timelines.

Parts were to be expected and by that, I mean someone who isn't as inclined to correctly guess endings could probably pick up on some of the twists coming their way.

However, I could not fully account for how everything unfolded and it definitely drove the rating up for me and made the waiting game worth it.

I don't have any strong feelings for this book either way. It's a great story and I enjoyed myself. I will have to give a content warning for the Titanic sinking. The mass death really got to me and it is told from a survivor's point of view which makes it hard.

I will definitely keep an eye out for this author in the future.
