I received an ARC for this book in an exchange for my honest review.. thank you NETGALLEY.

JACK THE RIPPER RETELLING.

With being a mood reader and usually stick to dark romance or fantasy I wanted to try something different, this book popped up as interesting and as I got into the book I realised is was indeed a Jack the Ripper retelling 🙀
I loved every minute of this book, lots of twist and turns, and the ending..😱 I had no idea and could never have guessed if I tried, Amazingly written 👏👌

I feel bad. This is not good. The writing is reminiscent of bad self publishing. I can’t even finish it.

The Dollmaker sounds like an interesting book, but as of right now, I sadly cannot read and review this title due to the NetGalley Shelf app keeps saying there is an error and that this format is not supported when I go to listen to this book. When this problem is solved, then I will definitely review this book.

This reminded me a lot of Kerri Maniscalco's Stalking Jack the Ripper but make it adult and amp up the gore and horror.

I loved Dawn's character and her refusal to adhere to the societal expectations of women in the 1920s. Dawn has a fierce dedication to opening her own medical practice on her terms all while racing against time to rescue her best friend who has been kidnapped by a notorious serial killer who slaughters and dismembers women to create the "perfect doll". I truly love female characters like this who have a IDGAF attitude and pushes back against the patriarchy.

As far as the murder mystery aspect goes, I enjoyed how this one unraveled. Lots of twists and turns with some red herrings along the way. The final reveal definitely got me.

This one is narrated by Kate Rudd, and she definitely brings both Dawn and this story to life.
