Review: Becoming the Dark Prince - Book #3.5 Stalking Jack the Ripper Series - Kerri Maniscalco - July 2019 Ever have those days where you want to read, but everything you try is just not your cup of tea and grabbing you? I was like that yesterday as it took me 5 times to get to something that would keep my interest - everything else -the four previous titles were just DNFs. When I get like that and I just really want to read, I find novellas are an excellent tool as they just hit the reading spot and they end up being quick reads as well. This was one I have had on my Kindle for a couple of years as I enjoyed Books 1 and 2 but sadly Escaping Houdini was a DNF.

When the pair arrive in Romania, they hear rumors that Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula has risen and is hunting down the townspeople. Audrey still on edge after the whole Jack the Ripper case is a tad sh...

Review: Stalking Jack the Ripper - Book #1 Stalking Jack the Ripper Series - Kerri Maniscalco - September 2016 Have you ever read a book and couldn't get into it the first time and then months, maybe even years later given it another go and found yourself enjoying it? For me, one of those books was Stalking Jack the Ripper. I tried back in March 2017 but couldn't finish it. Now with the release of Book # 3, I decided to give it another go. This time around I enjoyed it with all the twists and turns. The book starts with young Audrey working with her Uncle Jonathan in his morgue and attending his medical lessons out in public disguised as a boy. It is in the Morgue and classroom that Audrey meets Thomas. Despite their clashes over their knowledge and theories, the pair strike up an unusual relationship. During this time, Jack the Ripper aka The Leather Apron or Whitechapel Murderer is stalking the streets and hunting down females. What happens when ...
