Meh.
Didn't really like the ending. It felt a little rushed and a bit too convenient, in my opinion.

It was an okay read. Overall it wasn't bad but I did feel like it just had an abrupt ending. I felt as though there could have been more because the build up was there.

This story starts off very well. A single woman, caring for her intellectually challenged brother, during the Jack Ripper Murder’s. It is a great premise. Not to mention the fact that unbeknownst to her she is caring a medallion of great value to the vampire race. The intro is great, and seems like there will be unending action and a great mystery. But for some reason the story just stops and is stagnant. I did not expect there to be sex because it takes place in Victorian England, and she is a upper class woman who carries herself in high regard. So the sexual tension with no payoff was fine. However there was so many opportunities for action, like when Drake and Sebastian first meet on the street, that were not taken advantage of. Instead of meeting confrontation head on the character’s just seem walk away, and then talk about each other.
Eventually the story does pick up, but not much. Drake and the Shadow Man are more annoying the ominous, and Jack the Ripper became an after though instead of an opportunity. I have not read the two previous books in the Immortal Rogues series, and I will not be. This is a stand alone novel, and you will not feel lost. I simply did not like it. This series is the prequel (originally written under the pen name Debbie Raleigh) to her very popular Guardians of Eternity series. I would skip the Rogues and go straight to the Guardians.
