I'm speechless. He is perfect. and he's fictional absolutely ridiculous Here’s my Audrey Rose impression: “I am powerful and fearless!! Everyone underestimates me!!! I am not like other girls who cannot even use a knife at a tea party!!! Oh, what’s that? A mildly scary or gruesome thing? *faints immediately*”

I don’t get why Audrey Rose likes him, and I especially don’t understand why he likes her. I also loved the away in which the author embellished the past with some new characters, changed the facts around a little (like dates) so you could see the story through a different lens.

I'm thinking that this man in my soulmate and not Audry Roses. We both enjoy academic validation, reading and staying away from crowds. Notice I put quotation marks around "feminist." Because this book is not feminist. Sure, it sells itself as such with a headstrong heroine with a smart mouth and an obsession with the macabre (which I enjoyed, to its credit), but it's lazy feminism. It's Julie Kagawa feminism or Kristin Cashore feminism. Audrey Rose is the only capable woman in the book. Everyone else is either on Team Evil, like her stuffy aunt and the sharp-tongued girls who only dream of serving their husband at the tea party, or utterly forgettable like her cousin. What the author did with the setting is great; London is everywhere, it hugs you like a warm blanket, except that blanket is quite dark and made of damp walls and scary shit. Besides, I must give it to her, Kerri Maniscalco can be super funny, and I love books that make me laugh out loud. She apprentices with her Uncle, which they have to keep secret from her father and the rest of the world. Perfect for fans of: The Diviners by Libba Bray, A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro, Long May She Reign by Rhiannon Thomas, Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody (or if you've already read this and enjoyed it, you might like these!)I wasn’t completely sure what was I expecting from this book when I first started it. I mean, my curiosity was totally aroused but it felt weird to be reading such a thing. I don’t blame you, I am rather attractive. The tall, dark hero of your dreams, swooping in to save you with my vast intellect. You should accept my hand at once.” I have huge problems with Audrey Rose's mom being Indian with "honey-colored skin" too. Colonialism is a sensitive topic and it's not treated with enough respect in this narrative. (Am I surprised at this point? No.) Audrey Rose eats naan at a circus, recounts memories of saris, and that's all we get from her heritage. It's like this white girl who is 1/16 Native American going around, proudly announcing her roots and how she can't possibly be racist, and maybe wearing a Tiger Lily costume for Halloween. It's disrespectful and poorly conceptualized. It actually started gory and it caught me off guard. But you know what? I enjoyed it very much overall and if I enjoyed it then to hell with everything. It deserves my praise!

And I knew who the Ripper was in the first few chapters. The author added some things to try to make you think it was someone else. BUT. . . Here are a few of the things I just happened to Google that were in some way misrepresented in the book. Extra details included if I remember them. The best part about the book is it stays true to its storyline, without lingering much on the romantic aspects. Although constant flirtations and teasings weave in and out throughout their investigation, they treat each other like equals, discussing their theories, ideas and drawing conclusions. One moment, Thomas is super charming in his own roundabout way and the other moment, he's serious about the investigation, almost without emotions, dissecting human bodies and scrutinising their psyche. Their romance unfolds slowly and smoothly, making us gorge the decadence of those tiny moments. Then Thomas Cresswell, our handsome partner in crime. The best thing about him is definitely his intelligence. I mean, yes, he is sometimes inappropriate, but who cares? As long as he is that sweet, respectful and supportive partner, I take all his moodiness and weirdness.

A local cigarette salesman named Joseph Lawende had passed by a narrow walkway to Mitre Square named Church Passage with two friends shortly before the murder; [56] he later described seeing a fair-haired man of medium build with a shabby appearance with a woman who may have been Eddowes.
