4 STARS! 
 I'm going to be honest, when I was reading the first 100 pages of this, I thought "This isn't incredibly original but it is fun." It has that basic Victorian Mystery vibe to it, which I don't mind because I love it and I'd read many more of these basic Victorian whodunits because I'm a sucker for the Victorian era, mainly supernatural stuff and mysteries. But I was expecting something different from this, I don't know why, it wasn't hyped for me, but I was expecting something a tad off from the basic stuff I'd come to know... and surprisingly after feeling a bit disappointed, it delivered. 
 It went from being a regular Victorian mystery that happened to involve Jack the Ripper, to a crazed thrill of a ride, ending with something I would've never seen coming. To be honest I'm still sitting here going "How the hell and what the hell!" I loved that the author took a real life event/person and flipped it on its head, creating something although basic, amazingly refreshing. I enjoyed Audrey Rose as a character and boss ass heroine and I am looking forward to book 2 to see what she's up to after that wildly insane ending. 
 If you've been looking forward to this book or have been seeing it in stores and have had the itch to pick up, do it. It's worth the read. - Richard
