C-26

When I first saw the cover of ‘C-26’ I was immediately intrigued. Although the title made me think of a Sci-Fi novel at first, the book description about true love made me smile and I definitely wanted to read this book. So I was excited when I got myself an ARC to read.

Love and time. Always hoped for, never promised. Somewhere in the darkest corners of our mind, who we are, who we were, and even who we could be, lies tangled in a beautiful web. Past collides with the present. A mirage of memories, overlapping with dreams. The space in between. Emptiness full of hope. Where true love survives the unthinkable, the unsinkable and the unimaginable. In this place true loves lives on, long after our bodies have passed. Stronger than a heartbeat— its pulse can be heard for centuries... with a quiet mind and open heart. A simple clue, a series of numbers, a single touch, even a significant place. If we look long enough, and listen hard enough, we can feel things with our soul. Things that seem impossible. Things we can’t see or hear. Things that shouldn’t be real. And yet they are. As real as the breath in our bodies and the stars in the skies. That is the power of true love. The kind that endures. PREORDER NOW!

Right when I started reading, this book blew my mind. I definitely didn’t expect the read to start in 1914, at the night the Titanic sank. If you knew me, you’d know I have this fascination with everything about the Titanic. There’s just something about that ship, the tragic history and the whole idea of the Titanic that has always spoken to me. So when this book started there.. I was ecstatic.

After the beginning in 1914, we meet the two main characters in present time: Sky and Dash. Sky is this writer who loves everything about the written word. She loves reading and writing and often finds herself in her own home surrounded by her books. She was definitely my kind of girl. An introvert for sure, and not someone who is afraid to be herself.

Dash on the other hand is a musician, and someone who loves adventure. Sky and Dash couldn’t be more different. But from the moment they met, they feel this instant connection with one another. And although they life totally different lives, and don’t seem to have anything in common, they soon can’t stay away from each other.

‘C-26’ was definitely a very fascinating read. I loved the whole idea of this book. It was very mysterious and romantic, and it was also definitely very sad. But there was also something about this book that felt a little off to me. Not to much so I that I didn’t like it, but just something that didn’t really make me ‘feel’ the connection and the chemistry between Sky and Dash as much as the story required. I love books where the chemistry between the main characters are flying of the pages. And here this just wasn’t the case.

But the mystery, the fascinating story and the fun characters kept me hooked. The ending threw me a little. It was just so sad and I didn’t expect it at all. I thought something paranormal would happen, but not at all.

Overall ‘C-26’ was a very interesting read that kept me hooked to the pages.
