A review by minipanda
Rook by William Ritter
3.0
Sherlock Holmes cross with Supernatural.
*Read as standalone.*
Abigail Rook's power of Sight grants her the extraordinary ability to discern and comprehend auras, including those of both human and nonhuman origin. While she's still learning this new ability, she's assisting Jackaby in his investigations of the disappearances of magical creatures and beings.
Even though I like the idea and concept, I did not find anything that particularly caught my attention. Overall, an okay read. Would still recommend it to fans of Sherlock Holmes and the Jackaby series.
*Although the author stated that this novel can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading it as part of the series. I think the story will be more enjoyable if you're already acquainted with these characters. *
*** Thank you to NetGalley, William Ritter, and Algonquin Young Readers for graciously sending me a copy of the novel to review. As always, all thoughts are my own.***
