Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #1)

After reading a few reviews of this, I just wanted to make a note before "reviewing". Yes, there are some possible problems with the declared "feminism" of this book. And there might be some possible issue about Audrey Rose's heritage and how it's dealt with and the colonialism of the times. (Honestly, I'm not too sure about the colonialism of England of the time, soo....)

Anyway.

I'll be short. This was a bit of a fun book. It was easy enough to read, and I really was not expecting a masterpiece considering it's published through James Patterson. (Sorry not sorry.) Audrey is kind of a generic, sassy, "not like other girls" girl. Thomas is a generic, sassy, "mysterious" boy with the answers to everything. And got annoying fas. His character wasn't too bad when he wasn't being Sherlock. The writing is easy enough to read. Simple and basic. The twist at the end was a bit... much. Though, I was disappointed I guessed who the Ripper was from the start.

I do wish that there were more girl characters in this that held some meaning to the plot. (Other than the murder victims.) this could have been a whole lot more fun if Audrey wasn't completely surrounded by men always.

This is also a horrible review, in sorry. It's nearly one in the morning, idc
