In this thrilling new novel from the author of Industrial Magic, a pregnant werewolf may have unwittingly unleashed Jack the Ripper on the 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...From the Paperback edition.

The concept of this book was interesting, however the presentation was lacking. We have a portal opening and a Jack the Ripper on the loose, and Elena immediately thinks, it's Jack the Ripper! Wouldn't it take a bit longer to figure this out? My other main concern with this book, is given how pregnant Elena is, how in the world is she so mobile? Ok granted she's a werewolf, but she's super pregnant! She's not getting sick nor showing any signs of pregnancy that should be hampering her aside from a big stomach! There should be more conflict arising from her condition to add a real depth to the story. She's supposedly so exhausted at one point that her body is forcing her to sleep, yet suddenly after a small nap she's ok and back to kick ass...um how? Also, I'm getting a little tired of the cloak and dagger display with Jamie. She's beginning to emerge as a regular character, but we never know what exactly she does to use her necromancy. It's all hush hush I'm too embarrassed to let you see me handle bones and body parts! This series had a big appeal to me years ago, but not so much now.
