I ship Thomas and Audrey Rose SO HARD! They challenge each other (his actions challenge her expectations of what men are supposed to be in society and vice versa). They're both such capable and smart humans on their own but they so clearly need each other for balance! <3 <3 
 I absolutely love when a strong female and science get combined in any genre but it also being a historical fiction made it even more perfect for me! I loved the setting and the mysteries. I was quite surprised by the final reveal at the end because I was SO SURE of who it was! 
 I was surprised by the overall actions by Audrey's father as he is all over the place but not in a way that made me think the author kept rewriting his character. It breaks my heart seeing how Audrey's mom's death has affected him and his family for so many years. The idea of also being a germaphobe in this time period makes me ache because OMG! Sanitary conditions and living conditions and... *shivers* 
 I'm picking up Hunting Prince Dracula immediately and I cannot wait to see how Romania is displayed and described. That is not a geographic area that is commonly used so I am expecting a bit of fresh air.
