Stalking Jack the Ripper

This is the first book I ve really enjoyed reading after my horrid book slump and I LOVED it I need of Kerri s writing in my life, especially with her amazing characters like bloody Jack

Two words.Thomas Cresswell.Alright, of course there will be words, I just needed to give you a proper motivation to grab this extraordinary book, and an obnoxiously yet damnably brilliant British boy seemed like a good idea Now that I have your attention, let s move on, shall we One taste of warm blood is never enough, Miss Wadsworth Jack the Ripper.The Whitechapel Murderer Leather Apron Whatever you call him, he s still the same a monster that lingered in the shadows, bathed in blood and gore [...]

DNF after 5 chapters Loved the beginning, which has the heroine literally up to her elbows with a cadaver in an autopsy room But the deliberate visceral appeal of those types of scenes, reminiscent of THE MADMAN S DAUGHTER, are hampered by thin romantic beginnings, mannered dialogue, and an anachronistic hammering of modern feminist attitudes Since people love to kneejerk complain over observations like the last one, I ll spell it out clearly for the trolls in simple language view spoiler Recycl [...]

Damn it all If every time I decided to have a snack, I picked up this book and it would be at a morbidly, graphic part of the book Hence, said snacking ceased to exist There were parts of the book that were a tad boring but overall I think it was great There are also pictures through out the book I might add some later Audrey works with her uncle cutting up cadavers and doing gross stuff they do with trying to find out causes of death and what have you Thomas is also a student that is learning a [...]

I m so glad my soulmate isn t here yet, I m not ready to mess up something that intense when they find out that not only have I figured out who Jack the Ripper was I also figured out the WHY and the HOWI think it s time to formally call myself out on watching too many episodes of criminal minds It s rendered me far too angsty and it s also become almost second nature for me to meet any stranger and think that I ve uncovered the real identity of Jack the Ripper and that it s probably them Regardl [...]

Well that was a charming ending to a rather dark story By that I mean the last three pages warmed my heart while the previous three hundred chilled my bones.Stalking Jack the Ripper was easily my most anticipated release of the second half of 2016 I wouldn t go as far as to say that I m fascinated by the horrifying personage that was Jack the Ripper, but my curiosity and disgust cannot help but awake at the mention of him and his doings.Kerri Maniscalco created very human characters in this stor [...]

Lord help the girl he set those eyes for good His boyish vulnerability was a weapon, powerful and disarming I was thankful I wasn t the the kind of girl to lose my mind over a handsome face I originally gave this two stars, but the I thought about it, the pissed off I felt Stalking Jack the Ripper is what happens if you drop a girl with 21st century feminist ideas in the Victorian era Everything about Audrey Rose, from her speech to her actions, screams 2016 I had no idea my innards were compo [...]

Full review update Wow okay this was super fun I mean really if you re in the market for YA Sherlock Holmes with a badass heroine and a super snarky and charming sidekick, definitely pick this up I do have some mixed feelings about parts and I ll admit I skipped some chunks because ew, not for me Some of the ending really rubbed me the wrong way, but you can see those details below in the spoiler tag.Aubrey Rose is basically an unconventional female in her society She s super into education and [...]

3.5 Stars I went very back and forth with this book In the beginning, I absolutely adored the story but as it progressed, I frequently found myself loosing interest Serial killers are a huge subject of fascination for me, so I was a little disappointed I didn t enjoy the story as much as everyone else It s likely that my own expectations for the novel weren t fulfilled, which is why it wasn t a favorite Despite all that, I did still enjoy it It was fun and fairly entertaining I think I just woul [...]

Pretend I am as capable as a man Please, sir, do not value me so little Story Did you ever wonder what it would be like living at the time when Jack the Ripper was roaming the streets of London And did you maybe think it would be awfully exciting to be part of the investigation Well, then this is the perfect book for you Audrey Rose was never the one for living under the rules of society Women can t be a medical apprentice Women are only here to serve their husbands and be good wifeys and go hom [...]

Murder mysteries are NOT my thing, but this was so much fun and so well written that I still ended up really enjoying it The hype is definitely deserved Why must I either be docile and decent, or curious and wretched I was a decent girl, even if I spent my spare time reading about science theories and dissecting the dead I loved how sarcastic, witty, and totally capable Audrey Rose was Sometimes I get annoyed when it feels like a fiercely feminist character from modern times is forced into a his [...]

Recommended to me by this poo, Ninjaflower and recommended to her and me by the lovely, Johanna view spoiler Happy now, guys hide spoiler I felt like this book came out of nowhere and took everyone by surprise, I m truly astonished.Stalking Jack the Ripperis narrated by Audrey Rose, a seventeen year old girl who comes from an affluent family during the late 1880 s Despite the expectations suited for her by society and her father, Audrey Rose defies their regulations by sneaking away to her uncle [...]

Well this was full of blood and bone and a spot o tea, which is such a nice compilation Like shout out to the finale where Audrey Rose tries to calm everyone down and says LET S HAVE TEA AND THINK ABOUT THIS wow I how she s literally the only sensible person in this book However, I have to admitI ve basically read this entire story before lmao It was in These Shallow Graves and I did get bored in the middle of reading SJTR because I knew what was happening I predicted the murderer like 100pgs in [...]

Hello, my name is Jiana and I love Thomas Cresswell to bits and pieces.Now I admit the book was super slow and boring in the middle and I was annoyed by that, and it s probably one of the most predictable books I ve ever read in my entire life I called it the minute the character appeared Oh Yeah but you know what I don t care one bit I love the setting, I love the plot, I love the writing, I love the characters and I absolutely can t wait to read the next book Honestly if anyone s contemplating [...]

I just finished reading the second book and it s making me like this book even though I had a very boring time reading this book AKSDHSJKFBSDLVBSDFGA nope, not RAIsiNG my rating.Tbh, I would have really liked it if wasn t fucking b00ring, predictable af and just so idk boring The mystery and the forensic science things didn t interest me which is probably why I was so bored Lowkey liked it because of the teasing, charming flirt Thomas Creswell and Audrey Rose speaking up against those sexist mot [...]

Buddy read with my colleague Dr Katerina If you need your heart cut out or, perhaps, lobotomy we are humbly proposing our services to you.There s nothing better than a little danger dashed with some romance.Okay, okay, I swear, I was going to start this review with a picture of human anatomy to prove you how serious this book is, and that a knife is not a child s toy I am referring to the cover where a heroine holds the aforementioned knife rather seductively whispers She s even hotter with the [...]

4.5 stars All my predictions were correct and somehow I was still left in complete shock RTC

So, it took me forever but I finally finished this book as i wasn t disappointed one bit, it was everything I wanted and Although I guessed the killer pretty early on that didn t mean I didn t enjoy the book, if anything it made it even interesting for me,It s set in Victorian London which I found super interesting, especially since I recognised some of the names of places so I loved that bit, then there were the unique drawings letters and a few other odd things at the start of each chapter w [...]

Literally SO good GIRL POWER Loved how dark and chilling it is

There s nothing better than a little danger dashed with some romance I don t think I ve ever felt so accomplished as I did when my theory for the identity of Jack the Ripper was proved correct I literally ran into my mum s room and screamed in excitement and did a little happy dance I love mysteries and I like to think that I m pretty good at putting clues together and I was so happy that I worked this one out Although I hardly read mysteries, I don t think I ve been greatly proved wrong yet I m [...]
