The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it's the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper events of more than a century ago.
Soon “Rippermania” takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was walking with her at the time, didn't notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.

Okay, at first I thought this was going to be set in Victorian England. I kept reading then she mentioned a cell phone. That didn't sound right. So I flipped to the back and it is NOT the story about Jack the Ripper. I thought it was about a person that was telling his story from their view point. Nope, I was wrong.
I felt stupid. I guess that is what happens when you speed read in the middle of the library and there are guys creepin' behind you.
Yep,stinky,male youths have taken over my library on a side note.
Another side note. I am under the influence of cold medicine so there is no telling what this is going to turn out like.
Anyways, back to the book! This book is about Rory Deveaux. She going to London or wherever, it is all the same right? Where was I? LONDON! She was going to London to attend a boarding school called something or another. I can’t remember the name and I don’t have the book. I already returned it and nobody seems to put that information out there. Let’s call it The School of Snooty-McSnooty Pants. I am telling you, I can’t really think right now. Oh look! A cat riding a unicorn!

This girl starts seeing people that aren't really there. Yep. You can see where this is going. It has ghosts. This is mostly about ghost hunters I guess you could say.
Oh it has hot boys. Hot British boys.
Oh it has hot boys. Hot British boys.
I am going to stop it right here.
I think you get the gist of the book. If you didn't you are stupid.
So, if you like ghosts,boarding schools, hot British guys, British people in general, mysteries, gore, Jack the Ripper, or British people then I think you will like this. I will defiantly be reading the next one when I can get it at the library.
I give this book
4 out of 5 stars
3 out of 5 snoggings for Romance
(Snogging. I am so clever)
5 our of 5 guttings for Violence
Thanks for reading. I know it was a little crazy,but I have to go now. The leprechauns and unicorns are throwing a party and I am in charge of being the life guard at the pool. Really, they shouldn't have one because of the unicorn's horns.
