Spectacle by Jodie Lynn Zdrok

I picked up an arc version of this at a book sale so I frankly don't know if the finished version had any changes or what not. Still, it was a book and I read it.
I found it to be a fair crime/mystery/supernatural read. It reminded me of the Jack the Ripper story and it's sequels. Still, this one seemed to hold its own with the amount of historical research that went into it.
The supernatural aspect comes from the fact that the girl can put herself in the shoes of the person who is committing the crime as it is committed. Though the supernatural aspect seems a bit flighty/not strongly developed enough to accept it?
The characters were interesting - was a little shocked to find the guy the main girl was crushing on attached/engaged, yet he seemed to be stringing her along and she was falling for it? Apparently this gets resolved in book two.
I have an ARC for book 2 so while it has just come out I wonder how that book did?
