Good read! Finished it in a day. My one complaint would be that I enjoyed the parts that focused on the surgery or mystery aspects far more than the romance. It was like reading a story with multiple POVs and groaning with frustration whenever I was thrust back into the annoying character's brain. I even noticed myself tuning the narrator out at times when it got too boring and thinking "there's no way I'm going back to listen to all of that again, I'll just keep going" 
I liked the ending, though. I would certainly listen to the sequel.

Was it what I expected? Oh absolutely not. Did I expect the plot twist to be 

LITERAL IMMORTALITY?? FROM THE DOCTOR SURGEON MAN, THE NICE ONE TOO?? NO I WAS NOT

but in my defense I saw the second one first, thought it was pretty, found out it was a sequel and read it without looking up what it was about so....... I mean I liked it tho!

Also, his name being Jack, can we talk about how him being blamed for murders and hung in the mid 19th c. is like..... def about Jack the Ripper? Is this book insinuating that Jack the Ripper was a falsely accused corpse man and that actually it was an immortal surgeon doing the killing?? Wild
