al parecer a la autora no se le hizo suficiente el drama de thomas y audrey en el anterior libro y decidió darnos más, al comienzo me estaba gustando libro, todo bien, se iban a casar, se enteraron que al parecer había un segundo jack el destripador todo tranqui, lo normal, hasta que de repente llega esta chica de la cual jamás se le había hecho mención antes diciendo que estaba prometida a Thomas EN PLENA BODA de audrey y el, hola??? en que momento esto paso a ser una novela de terror y misterio a ser una telenovela? soy fan de todo este tipo de drama y del romance amo mucho el romance pero siento que aquí había escenas muy largas de eso cuando deberían... no se, enfocarse en que hay un asesino suelto? siento también que se resolvió muy rápido el asunto del padre de thomas, había uno que otro pensamiento por parte de audrey que me perturbaba pero ok se puede entender por la situación? creo...
me gusto la sensación de ansiedad y emoción que tuve en los últimos capítulos solo quería que audrey pudiera salir de ahí , quería que todo saliera bien para que por fin cumpla su promesa de volver a casa (thomas)
no puedo decir que lo odie como el anterior pero tampoco fue el mejor para ser el cierre de la saga pero no estuvo mal, no se, soy muy fácil de complacer , lo mejor de esta saga definitivamente fue thomas llevo diciéndolo desde el primer libro pero es inevitable no amarlo y decir ¿por qué no existe esta clase de hombres en la vida real? un shot por cada vez que dije que quería un thomas en twitter, en fin
los dos primeros libros son mis protegidos y probablemente los relea en halloween el tercero para mi no existe y este solo me recuerda de que por fin audrey y thomas pudieron casarse y ser felices
Thomas Cresswell no me arrepiento de haberte conocido, always in my heart, yours sincerely, sharid

Capturing the Devil is the conclusion to the Stalking Jack the Ripper series, and I have to say I was kind of underwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong, it was a decent book - the murder just didn’t grip me.
The books tend to either follow a pattern of “love the romance, hate the murder” or “love the murder, hate the romance” and so either way I feel unsatisfied on either the murder front or the romance front. Thomas Cresswell always manages to add a few bonus points in the romance front simply for existing, so A+ on character development and continuation there. Audrey Rose’s impulsivity irks me and I find myself asking “why??” way too often for it to be cute.
Hunting Prince Dracula had both elements well done, which is why it has received my highest rating out of the four books. Escaping from Houdini and Capturing the Devil have the same rating, due to romance v murder equaling each other out, however on a purely enjoyment level - Escaping from Houdini is miles ahead of this book.
I guess what this all boils down to is whether or not I connected with and/or enjoyed the murder element of the novels (I don’t know what that says about me, but hey). For the final book I was expecting the murder to really go out with a bang, seeing as it was a culmination of all four books efforts - but I just didn’t care. I was too focused on when the romance bungle was going to sort itself out and how and the murder motivations just weren’t convincing enough for me.
I’m glad I read the series, but I wish it gripped me more in the final leg. That was the book where it needed to be unputdownable, but I just *shrug*

I really enjoyed the series as a whole. I like Audrey Rose and Thomas, and I did not dislike the romance in this book (although it is a lot heavier than in the rest of the series). It did read more like a romance at times and maybe that was because it was a bit longer that the rest. But that bothered me a lot less than the ending did. It felt... flat. Like, I expected something more. The revealing of Jack at the end was just bland for me. I could not have cared less.

This wasn't my favorite of the series but I thought the series as a whole was fun and ended well.
4.5⭐️ I am so sad this series is over!! I love these characters so much and I feel like I need a novella or a glimpse into their life. This book had some plot twists that connected back to the beginning of the series which I like.

Although the book took me a while to read, it was so good!! I really, thoroughly enjoyed it and everything it had to offer. I was angered by the thing Miss Whitehall, I didn’t really see how it fitted into the story, but it was a nice conflict for the characters to overcome. And the finale of the series. It was just breathtaking. I love these characters, and I love the play on H.H Holmes as Jack the Ripper. I think that is such a fun route, and as a history buff myself, it was great to explore that alternative route of thought.
