Stalking Jack the Ripper

... I was right.

I mean, not to pick at the mystery, but the first guy I pointed at - like easily in the first half - and said ‘I think you're the Ripper' turned out to be right. Of course, if you don't suspect each named guy at least once, you're not as suspicious as I am. But, yeah. I was right.

Anyways, I've been interested in this story since I first saw the cover (because it's gorgeous!) but gave it a pass for the longest time because... Hmm. Maybe because it was popular and I don't have the best track record with popular and/or hyped books. But this book is wonderful.

I love Audrey. She is brilliant and independent and courageous and feminine and absolutely lovely. And her and Thomas together reawakens my hope for YA romances. He's charismatic and charming and admires her for her strength and wit and they make a perfectly unbeatable pair. Also, special mention must be made of Liza, Audrey's cousin, who could wrap society around her pinky if she wanted to. I love seeing the interaction between Audrey and Liza because they are both so different, but they truly like and admire each other. (There weren't enough girl friends for Audrey in the book, but it was also explained aptly by the story.)

I am now super looking forward to the sequel and wish that I hadn't instituted a bit of a buying ban because I would love to jump right into it.
