Inspired by the real Jack the Ripper murders that was set in 1888, it's a mystery book with a romance subplot. It took me longer to read than I expected because I was also researching about the real-life victims of Jack the Ripper.

It was a quick read (as expected since it's YA). Both MCs are badass and not annoying. 🤭 I get the hype of Mr. Thomas Cresswell now. 😍

The good, very descriptive writing captured the ambiance and vibe perfectly. Do be warned that there might be some gory descriptions since, you know, it's about murder and corpses. If you're not used to that kind of stuff, might as well rethink if you really want to read this.

3.5

I’ve never been a huge fan of James Patterson novels, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that a book under his imprint didn’t blow me away.

It might be a reading slump, but I didn’t really connect with any of the characters. It was all right, but not enough for me to want to pick up book 2. Which is kind of a – bad – feat in itself, since I’m pretty much always down for anything that includes vampire lore.
