FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!! This book was incredible! I just love how historical figures are brought into the story to make it all the more entertaining, and it brings in excitement for the best book at the end, which is always wonderful. FIVE STARS

Escaping From Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco is the third book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. This book was not as great as the first two books. I still really enjoyed the murder mystery aspect of this book. However, I hated the "love triangle" mess added into this book. I also hated that Thomas was not as present due to the stupid love triangle shit. I would have loved this more if the love triangle aspect was removed.
I absolutely loved Thomas and I thought he carried this book (when he was present). He always makes me laugh and I adore him. This is why I was annoyed with Audrey and her plan with the Ringmaster. I did want to throttle the Ringmaster many times in this book. I did not understand some of the actions Audrey made in regards with said Ringmaster.
However, the murder mystery was very entertaining. That plot and Thomas were the main reasons that I was able to finish this book. I still think this series is worth reading, however book 3 is my least favorite so far. I am excited to read the last book in this series!
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
HAPPY READING

I am...not entirely sure what just happened?
I have been waiting for this book for ages and I feel just kind of...? ?!
Audrey Rose has never annoyed me so much, and I know she really grinds the gears of a lot of people but holy shit? This book is 430 pages and she spent 350 of the moon-eyed over some dude she just met who gives her the heebie geebies but yo. He's got dimples, so he's a lot less stabby than anyone on board, I guess?
But is he Thomas?
No.
Thomas spends the majority of this novel in mention, and there's such a severe lack of him that Audrey Rose becomes almost unbearable. This girl has faced a hell of a lot in recent months, I get it. But oh my god. Knowing what we know from the first two books, any sort of perception this girl has about anything is shut off like a light switch as soon as she sets foot on the boat.
I really love this series, I genuinely truly do. But this book was such a let-down compared to the first two that it pains me to say that my 5-Star hopeful for the year is reduced all the way down to a 3 stars. All's I gotta say is I just hope the fourth one brings out the same finesse and common sense Audrey Rose this book severely lacks.

WE HAVE A COVER AND SHE'S STUNNING.
I'm ready for this book to save my entire 2018.
