Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - Anatomy: Eine Liebesgeschichte – Lass dich entführen in die geheimnisvolle Regency-Welt dieses #1 New York Times Bestsellers

This was a bit gruesome but I think I liked it anyway. I love the fight Hazel has to become a surgeon. Jack, ignoring his profession, is just a sweet lil baby. It did go a bit buckwild at the end but again, I think I liked it. Excited to see what the second book has in store!

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

This book is not as beautiful as its cover. It is gritty and grotesque in the best possible ways. It is so atmospheric that I felt like I was walking the dark streets of Edinburgh with Hazel. I could almost feel the grime. The story is slow to start, but the descriptions of the setting really steal the show in the first half. The second half of the book definitely pick up. I couldn't put the book down at that point. The story becomes twisted and surprising. It does take a little bit of suspended disbelief, but the plot is satisfying. The ending is another thing, but there is a second book. I had to pick up the sequel immediately.
