In this thrilling new novel from the author of Industrial Magic, a pregnant werewolf may have unwittingly unleashed Jack the Ripper on twenty-first-century—and become his next target.
Ever since she discovered she’s pregnant, Elena Michaels has been on edge. After all, she’s never heard of another living female werewolf, let alone one who’s given birth. But thankfully, her expertise is needed to retrieve a stolen letter allegedly written by Jack the Ripper. As a distraction, the job seems simple enough—only the letter contains a portal to Victorian London’s underworld, which Elena inadvertently triggers—unleashing a vicious killer and a pair of zombie thugs.
Now Elena must find a way to seal the portal before the unwelcome visitors get what they’re looking for—which, for some unknown reason, is Elena.
Elena is easily my favourite character so the books where she's the main character are always my favourite. I especially like this one because we get to visit Canada! the downside is Toronto is visited by zombies so that kind of kills the excitement a little. There isn't as much action as there normally is in this book because Elena is now pregnant and even a pregnant werewolf has to be a little careful. I actually really enjoyed the parts where the other werewolves were bring overprotective of her. I thought it was really cute and sometimes pretty funny.
The plot was also really fun in this one because it partially has to do with Jack the Ripper which is always a great topic. There were these zombies that came out of a Victorian England time portal and I really loved how the author brought pieces of that world back. For example, there was some diseases that were carried from the zombies into modern day Toronto like typhus and cholera. I found that to actually be more realistic because zombies just feel like they should be carrying lots of gross things. We also got to meet Zoe the vampire in this book who I love and I wish she had gotten her own book.
