THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, because it is young adult, and YA has been really hit or miss for me recently. It's also historical, which I do not always enjoy either. However, I heard a lot of really good things about this book, and I am very intrigued by stories like this in general, so I decided to give it a try! I am so glad that I did! I loved the main character, she was such an amazing mc to follow. And Thomas Cresswell has my entire heart. Seriously, it's been a long time since I've fallen in love with a love interest in a book that wasn't mainly a romance, but I loved him so much!!! I did predict the plot twist, but it actually didn't hinder my enjoyment of the story at all! Sometimes when I predict a plot twist, it makes me lose interest in the story, but not in this book! This actually made it more exciting for me to watch the characters figure it out too and also to see if I was right or not! I don't really know how to explain it, but I really loved it! I'm so upset I don't have the second book in the series immediately, because I am so excited to continue on with it!! I cannot get enough of Audrey Rose and Thomas, and am so excited to read more about them!

Second time reading this book, and it’s just as amazing the second time.  I loved the dynamic between Audrey Rose and Thomas, as well as how the author was able to make their interactions to not be filled with sexism like many others during the time period.
I loved how Audrey Rose reacted to “the men in her life trying to chain her”, first with her Father keeping her in the house, then with Nathaniel when her Father was absent, even Blackburn when the only reason he wanted her help was the try and win her affections and marry her.
I loved how she constantly talked back to men trying to put her down because of her gender, and how she did it both politely and rudely at times.
I really enjoyed how the author foreshadowed Nathaniel as  Jack the Ripper, as this was a reread I already knew but while reading i noticed so many things I had missed, like how nervous he got anything the police were near, as well as how much he hated Audrey Rose’s involvement when things got more complicated and more murders occurred.
