Overall, this is an excellent edition to the first, and I really enjoyed it.I'm mostly on instagram-where I'm always ready to talk fictional crushes and nerd out over books. He could persuade me to build a steamship to the moon when he kissed me. It felt sufficiently creepy and atmospheric, and I had no clue who the killer was until the reveal! Again, this story has another dark mystery which I loved. Thomas was also a great love interest, despite a few questionable moments that Audrey certainly doesn’t let him get away with (and I love her for it!). She continues to be such an admirable woman of her time and I really enjoyed reading about the decisions she makes in regards to her relationships. I loved how strong and independent she is, and she just really holds her own, especially for the main character of a book set in the Victorian times. My eyes fluttered shut.Īs with the first book, Audrey Rose made for an excellent protagonist.

Softly, so softly I might have imagined them there. You are not mine to take.” He brushed his lips against mine. The castle that most of this book is set in was also so well described, and I could picture it so well along with the nearby village they travelled in to. The first part of the book really reminded me of Murder on the Orient Express, and I loved how much I could picture it. I adored the setting of this book and it just felt so magical, especially in the snow. This book is set in snowy Romania, and funnily enough we ended up reading it over some of the days in the book, as it is written kind of in diary format and set in December! I buddy read this book with Amy and Jo, who I buddy read the first book with and it was so much fun despite being deep in assignments and busy at work and only managing to read a very small amount a day! As with the first book, Maniscalco has the most amazing way of describing the world Audrey and Thomas are in. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe’s best schools of forensic medicine…and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.īut her life’s dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school’s forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders.

Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper’s true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories.
