📚📚📚My Review📚📚📚
Anyone who knows me knows I hate to read historical books, doesn't matter whether it's romance or horror, I can't stand it. Then I read The Daemoniac by Kat Ross, I absolutely loved it. So when I had the chance to read this second book in the series I jumped on it. These books are historical but they don't read that way and that is my favorite thing about them. I also like the characters and the plots and subtle nods to history, that even someone like me can appreciate. This book takes us across the ocean to London and the hunt for Jack the Ripper. I love this book and the previous and applaud Kat for getting me to read and like something historical.

Winter 1888. At an asylum in the English countryside, a man suspected of being Jack the Ripper kills an orderly and flees into the rain-soaked night. His distraught keepers summon the Lady Vivienne Cumberland—who’s interviewed their patient and isn’t sure he’s a man at all. An enigmatic woman who guards her own secrets closely, Lady Vivienne knows a creature from the underworld when she sees one. And he’s the most dangerous she’s ever encountered.
As Jack rampages through London, Lady Vivienne begins to suspect what he’s searching for. And if he finds it, the doors to purgatory will be thrown wide open…
Across the Atlantic, an archaeologist is brutally murdered after a Christmas Eve gala at the American Museum of Natural History. Certain peculiar aspects of the crime attract the interest of the Society for Psychical Research and its newest investigator, Harrison Fearing Pell. Is Dr. Sabelline’s death related to his recent dig in Alexandria? Or is the motive something darker?
As Harry uncovers troubling connections to a serial murder case she’d believed was definitively solved, two mysteries converge amid the grit and glamor of Gilded Age New York. Harry and Lady Vivienne must join forces to stop an ancient evil. The key is something called the Thirteenth Gate. But where is it? And more importantly, who will find it first?
