Extremely creepy and gory...lots of blood and bones, not for the faint of heart for sure. Super good mystery though, kept me guessing and confused the whole time, and of course Audrey & Thomas were adorable as always

Building on the ending of Stalking Jack the Ripper, Audrey Rose is onward to a creepy castle to learn more about forensic science while grieving her brother. Thomas accompanies her and it doesn’t take long for bodies to start dropping around them, all smelling of garlic and having some tie to vampire lore.

I did really enjoy this but much like the previous book, it really went off the rails at the end. Think The Goonies but less swearing. I have to admit that I found myself glazing over at some of the discussions of royal bloodlines. It was somehow important and so boring to put together, and was resolved in like 2 pages. If half of that waffling and half of Audrey Roses’ internal mentions about proper societal behavior were cut, we’d have an appropriate sized book. Seriously, it got heavy and kind of hurt my wrist to hold. 

It’s absolutely a fun enough read that I’ll continue the series.
