The #1 bestselling series that started with Stalking Jack the Ripper and Hunting Prince Dracula continues its streak in this third bloody installment
Audrey Rose and Thomas Cresswell find themselves aboard a luxurious ocean liner that becomes a floating prison of horror when passengers are murdered one by one, with nowhere to run from the killer.
Embarking on a week-long voyage across the Atlantic on the opulent RMS Etruria , Audrey Rose Wadsworth and her partner-in-crime-investigation, Thomas Cresswell, are delighted to discover a traveling troupe of circus performers, fortune tellers, and a certain charismatic young escape artist entertaining the first-class passengers nightly. But privileged young women begin to go missing without explanation, and a series of brutal slayings shocks the entire ship.
The strange and disturbing influence of the Moonlight Carnival pervades the decks as the murders grow more and more bizarre. It’s up to Audrey Rose and Thomas to piece together the gruesome investigation before more passengers die before reaching their destination. But with clues to the next victim pointing to someone she loves, can Audrey Rose unravel the mystery before the killer’s horrifying finale?

Book 2 complete for O.W.L.'s 2019 Potions - Next Ingredient: Sequel
Initial Thoughts: This installment was very enjoyable and I loved that I was able to jump right back in Thomas and Audrey's story. In this book, Audrey and Thomas absolutely infuriated me and I do not know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but props to Kerri for making have such strong emotions about the characters. I definitely enjoyed this book more than Hunting Prince Dracula (I think that one suffered from second book syndrome). I also think it is probably my favorite of the three because there was no slow building like with Stalking Jack the Ripper. This book immediately had me intrigued and trying to figure out who the killer was but also angerly flipping pages because of what Audrey and Thomas were doing (or not doing). The epilogue for this book has me super curious about what our favorite characters will get up to in Capturing the Devil.
It was the most disappointing book of the year for me. And it was so much more painful because I was looking forward to reading it.
But that was extremely bad. I managed to get through 30% of the book. I hate all that Let's-pretend-we-have-some-relationship-for some-grand-goal-but-we-will-not-tell-your-boyfriend-because-his-reaction-needs-to-be-authentic. Really? What kind of shit that was?
