Such a great retelling (fictional) of the Jack the Ripper’ story.

The characters and the dialogues were perfect. I especially loved Thomas and his mind. Also the banter was excellent!

SPOILERS: in the author’s note KM says she didn’t want to add more characters that were involved in the real story not to confuse the reader.

Amazing, intriguing, mysterious, humorous and magical story. I love Audrey Rose and all the secrets to find who it was and the friendship she has with Thomas and the relationship hardship with her family. Can’t wait for the next one!!

Some parts I did tab, because I liked them. But overall I found it hard to visualize. I also felt like I was forcing myself to like it or enjoy it more than I really did. The ending was probably the best.
