4.0

It was 55% mystery/suspense, 45% Romance for me. Mystery/suspense-wise, it didn't hold my attention that much probably because I spoiled myself when I googled "Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco ". Nahagip ng mata ko sino yung Ripper. And yung reveal, medyo meh. Like, yun na yun? Kfine. Also, may similarity sa story ni Frankenstein. Which was my 4-star read prior to this!

What I surprisingly liked here is Thomas. Kuhang kuha mo ang kilig ko beh! 😍 dahil dyan, 4⭐️! The romance sub-plot is giving me a Bridgerton vibes. Yung kiss sa cheeks, kenekeleg na ang anteh nyo. 😂

Tho medyo contradicting lang yung character ni Audrey Rose kasi she wanted to study forensics and even applied as apprentice of his uncle pero kapag nakalatag na yung bangkay or yung i-o-autopsy nila, forda suka and himatay si atashi. Parang may mali sa'yo ate gurl? Sure ka dyan sa forensic medicine na gusto mo? 😅 not for the faint-hearted dapat yan sizzz.

I understand medyo may konting differences lang on the real Jack the Ripper and the untold stories of his victims (which made me want to look for that book). Still, I enjoyed the story and the ending. I'll definitely read the book 2.
