Publisher's summary

April 10th, 1912: Titanic sails with a secret in her cargo hold....

When a pair of would-be robbers open a mysterious crate, they unleash an evil that’s been asleep for centuries. Once the maiden voyage is underway, passengers go missing, some turn up dead, and some bear an odd affliction, one that makes them crave blood and shun the light....

Assistant Surgeon Benjamin York makes a startling discovery about his patients that could be disastrous for everyone onboard. But Titanic is lauded as the pinnacle of luxury and class, so Benjamin is met with contempt when he suggests the passengers be warned they aren’t safe.

In the darkest corners of the ship, a coterie of monsters grows more powerful. The ocean liner’s only hope is reaching the safety of America, but can the passengers hope to survive that long? With Titanic in the throes of its late-night disaster—bent and broken, lifeblood seeping into the Atlantic—Doctor York realizes the icy water won’t be the only danger....

Great read!

I will admit I was skeptical. I have always been fascinated with stories of the titanic and when you mix in the idea of mixing in vampires, I figured the history would be lost. I was pleasantly surprised. The story held pretty true to historical accounts. The character development was perfect and the storyline intriguing. If you’re looking for a nonstop, action packed, battles of humanity versus vampire this may not be the book for you. The story focuses around the vampires onboard but isn’t as bloody or horror filled as some typical vampire novels. However, I was hooked by the second chapter. Well worth the money and the time. I definitely enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Such a unique and engaging read!

The story is solid

I wish I had read an ebook. The story is solid, characters are solid. The author interjects a very interesting premise into history. My problem is the narrator. When using a "narrator" voice, they seem dejected and completely detached from the story. The characters are voiced ok, but the narrator suffers when doing accents and keeping them straight and sometimes slips into character when narrating in the third person.

Awesome tale for the Titanic!

The narrator was clear and easy to listen to. The story was great and brought in many historical details. Great job!!

Meshing of truth and fantasy was good, but…

The concept was great, however the whole story was disjointed. I mean that some parts drag while other parts seem to gloss over important stuff. And the confrontation between Ben and the Master is zip, bang, done. Too easy. The narrator is awful. One of my pet peeves is having a narrator mispronounce words. She does this many times. Where was the editor?

Good horror take on the Titanic

The narrator did a good job on this audible. I enjoyed the horror twist to the Titanic story.

Who chose this narrator?

The story was great, the narrator however… Had to listen at 1.5x just to not fall asleep.

good read

good read, Imaginative. Interesting characters. fun horror. good ending. I would recommend the story to all Titanic history buffs.

Great story, terrible narration

This story was phenomenal! I absolutely loved the twist on the Titanic. The accents done by the narrator though...were just SO bad. Like so bad. It was unbearable. That certainly speaks to the writing though, because a bad narrator can really kill a book!

Titanic and Vampires Come Together

I’m listened to the audiobook for this. It’s a good vampire story set on the Titanic. The history seems to be spot on, and it’s a story that keeps your attention. My favorite character is Fiona’s son, Reed. A brave little boy who fights to save his mom. I’m not a big vampire book person, I usually avoid them but this isn’t bad. If you’re into vampires and the Titanic you’ll especially love this. I’ll give it a 4 star. I think it’d be a 5 star if I enjoyed reading vampires more so definitely recommend if you like that. Now vampire movies I think I enjoy more so I’d love to see a movie adaptation of Blood and Salt.

Thank you for the opportunity to listen to this Hubert L. Mullins. I appreciate it!!

Decent story

Narrator was ok. Not scary at all my 11 year old daughter listened with me. I like anything to do with the titanic and vampires so that’s a plus. Overall I liked it prefer if it was more horror but it was good story to share with my daughter who loves horror also.
