- Liked the intro of Cresswell's sister

queer rep with her as well

- Good twist at the end

sister not being dead

- Lots of suspense - not knowing what was happening or coming next/worrying about next things
- Graphic ending - very creative and detailed

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.

I almost gave up because the first 1/3 of this book was so slow and kinda bored me out. BUT I was so glad that I put faith in it and continued on. The story paced up and became 10x more interesting after they discovered the underground tunnel. I was so shocked that

Anastasia was the one who planned and carried out all those murders. I have to apologize to Ileana because I firmly believed that she was the bad guy until the very end of the book.
