as someone who was DEEP in the fandoms of buffy the vampire slayer, sherlock holmes, and psych…. this is SO up my alley it’s an abomination it took me this long to pick up the series
is it perfect? no, but honesty i don’t really care because it was a fun time! we love a supernatural mystery with a silly little detective guy who is 1000% neurodivergent and his zany crew: a young watsonian woman with a passion for adventure, a ghost who lives rent free in the detective’s home, a shapeshifting detective who (occasionally) moonlights as a hound, and a former sidekick reluctantly turned waterfowl!
this is such a wonderful blend of the mystery and historical setting of sherlock holmes, supernatural intrigue of buffy the vampire slayer, and zany comedy of psych. truly a book series for the girlies who grew up on superwholock tumblr (not derogatory).

I really wanted to like this more than I did, and I did like it, it just wasn’t as exciting as I expected. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it, and I love the interactions between Jackaby and the other characters (and Douglas is incredible of course).
