3.84 AVERAGE


Historical fiction, murder mystery, romance.

The main character is so witty and intelligent. She’s such a feminist character: strong and independent. There is a lot of blood and gore, but they are stalking Jack the Ripper. Overall, such a good read!

3.5

Šerlokas Holmsas iš AliExpress sutinka isterikę ir kartu ieško Džeko Skerdiko, tik jų nelaimei, suvokiau kas slepiasi po pseudonimu dar 5 skyriuje.

Man turėjo sumokėti, kad tai perskaityčiau, o ne atvirkščiai.

Thomas Cresswell is my new weakness. Can't wait to read the next book!

Fear is a hungry beast. The more you feed it, the more it grows.


This was a creepy, well written, addictive novel, and exactly what I needed right now. Audrey Rose is just such an awesome main character, and so is Thomas.

The ending was a bit predictable, but honestly, I couldn't bring myself to lower my rating because of that - this book was just so good and I had a great time getting lost in its pages. The all nighter I pulled in order to finish this was well worth it. Not a lot of books are worth sacrificing my sleep for, but this one definitely is. I seriously can't wait to read the next ones!

I really enjoyed this book. There are not many books out there with an 1880’s detective plot. The reason why it isn’t five stars is I didn’t fly through this book as quickly as I thought I would. But I think I will continue this series, because I feel like if I don’t continue then why did I even read this book in the first place.
One thing that bothered me is it claimed to be a feminist and empowering book. But clearing it was sexist. So let’s see what happens in the next book.

Questo libro è stato una bellissima sorpresa!
Un perfetto mix, omogeneo ma incalzante, fra mistery, historical fiction e un pizzico di romance. (Thomas Cresswell hai il mio cuore).
I protagonisti mi sono entrati nel cuore, il personaggio femminile principale poi è unico e la trama originale.
Le atmosfere narrate fanno davvero entrare il lettore nelle vibes della Londra del 1888 e nella macabra vicenda di Jack lo Squartatore.
Non vedo l'ora di recuperare presto anche i seguiti!
