_____________

this is the second book in the stalking jack the ripper series that follows audrey rose and thomas on their adventures at a prestigious forensic school in romania. when murders occur that have people thinking perhaps vampires aren't so dead after all, audrey rose and thomas have to learn to juggle sleuthing and their fight for the two spots in the academy's ranks. 

after reading the entire series, i can safely say that this is my favorite one. the vibes were in fact my favorite. the book takes place in dark castle and serves gothic dark academia. the writing was particularly wonderful in portraying this. 

i loved how audrey rose's trauma was dealt with in this book and how she seemed to grow as a person and learn to deal with her triggers. her and thomas's relationship and banter was top tier. these guys had me giggling and kicking my feet every interaction between them. i also loved the deeper talks they had and how they talked to each other and learned how they could best be there to support and comfort one another. TOP TIER WONDERFUL

the conflict with the villain was cool, but as with all the endings in this series, quite rushed. I LOVED THIS ONE THO
