Loved it!! Loved the world and the mystery. The characters were fantastic minus I kept gettin two male character mixed up Oops!

Absolutely enjoyed it being through Abbies eyes and point of view. The scenery was beautifully written out a long with not knowing who was The Ripper was. She gave you enough characters to suspect, leaving you in a bit of wonder the whole time. The ending was good. I really did like the twist at the end, which explained Abbies mothers death, Abbies visions, and who was involved in the murders.


Only thing I really didnt enjoy was is it seemed to lay everything pretty well out for you. Which kinda sucks cause then that doesnt make me want to continue on with the series. But she did leve enough of a hanger that I did wanna read Renegade and see where she took them next in this little fun adventure. All in all I did enjoy it considering this isnt normally something id pick up on my own. It is a quick read and got me outta my little reading slump I've been in.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
