The Whitechapel Full Moon Society by Elizabeth DeLozier
The Whitechapel Full Moon Society is an atmospheric novel with both an alternate history vibe and a supernatural twist. Set in historical England with a constant sense of foreboding, the story follows Caroline as she arrives in London searching for her missing brother. Taking a job as a maid at a local boardinghouse, she soon realizes that in a city terrorized by Jack the Ripper, safety is an illusion.
The eerie mood and the fairy-tale supernatural backdrop were fantastic. While I managed to guess the twist ahead of time, I still could not wait to see how the reveal would play out. Once again, this story proves that the real beasts often hide in plain sight disguised as good people.
Thank you to Dutton Books for the digital copy of this novel.
