This book was so good! It definitely had some flaws, and it wasn't perfect, but I just had so much fun and I just loved it so much! This was the second book in the Stalking Jack The Ripper series, and it completely delivered on what I wanted it to be! It was dark, and mysterious, and creepy, and it got so disturbing towards the end especially! There was a plot twist at the very end that came totally out of left field and wasn't entirely well-built up to, but that is seriously the sole reason for not giving it the full five star. And even that twist didn't bother me too much because it was based on a topic I know a lot about outside of the book that I really don't see mentioned in books or other media that often, so it was super cool for me. I can see, however, that it might bother some people. I need to give a serious shoutout to Thomas Cresswell too. Like... I haven't loved a fictional love interest this much in a REALLY long time. I loved him in the first book, and I absolutely adored him in this one. He is just incredible and everything about him is perfect. Honestly, his sister too. Like, I have a type, and that type is the Cresswell siblings. But yeah, this book was really good, and it was exactly what I was hoping it would be! I'm so excited to read the next one. Based on the title, it has been the one I have been the most excited for since starting the series and knowing (like three chapters into the first book) that it would be a series I would be continuing with.
