⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✎ Anotações

Sinopse do livro: Das vielas sombrias da pequena Whitechapel surge o mal — uma assassino em série que transforma suas inocentes vítimas em um retrato grotesco da maldade humana. Nenhum homem jamais descobriu seu nome. Este é um trabalho para uma mulher. Audrey Rose não é a típica donzela inglesa do século XIX. Quando ninguém está vendo, a jovem realiza autópsias no laboratório de seu tio, contrariando a vontade de seu pai e todas as expectativas da sociedade. Ela pode não saber fazer um penteado elaborado, mas faz uma incisão em Y num cadáver como ninguém. Em meio à violência da Londres vitoriana surge uma personagem audaciosa e transgressora. Encantada pela ciência forense, ainda engatinhando à época, Audrey se utiliza de técnicas e métodos obscuros para encontrar novos caminhos que ajudem a identificar Jack, o estripador e cessar os horrores de Whitechapel para sempre. Evocando o mistério de Aghata Cristie e o espírito aventuresco de Sherlock Holmes, Kerri Meniscalco ergue um romance histórico arrebatador que mescla realidade e a fantasia para deixar um rastro na memória dos leitores mais corajosos.

Considerações sobre a leitura: Na minha opinião eu achei muito desnecessário das pessoas julgar a personagem por ela querer fazer algo que goste e que tenha afinidade, o ruim é que o pai dela não ajudou. os únicos que via o talento nela eram considerados malucos na historia que era o seu tio e o seu novo amigo . falando no amigo novo. mesmo ele que irritasse ela com seus cortejos e sua habilidade de observação ele o ajudava a controlar os seus sentimento.

(Ps: não quero falar muito, se não vai rolar spoiler.)

📖 No livro em si é maravilhoso. tem muitas ilustrações informativas, tem bastante detalhes na história, tem muitas citações que considerei favoritas, muito bom .

Avaliação: ★★★★☆

Holiday season is upon us and with it a whole bunch of holiday-themed books! This month we take a look at some of the spooky and mystery reads we’ve enjoyed the most.

A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. LeGuin

Although not a terror book itself, this fantasy short novel is one of the spookiest of the genre, and witten by one of the best (if not the best) female fantasy writers. Imagine releasing a shadow powerful enough to end you that chases you to the end of the world... literally. The sheer anxiety of being followed by an undefined shapeless evil entity, not knowing when or where it will strike.. It is one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read. Plus there’s magic!

The Dunwich Horror, by H.P. Lovecraft

Lovecraft is one of the masters of horror in literature, and has inspired thousands of books, movies, tv series (soon in HBO!), rpgs, video games, board games... Almost any of his writings could be in this list, but I have chosen Dunwich Horror because it is one of the shortest and the edition I’ve read has the creepiest, most disturbing drawings by Santiago Caruso (if you don’t know him, check him out!). If you’re into horror classic lit and haven’t read him yet... What are you waiting for?!

Two Can Keep a Secret, by Karen M. McManus

Karen M. McManus' specialty is young adult crime thrillers and this one ticks all the boxes to be in this list of spooky books. Mysterious unsolved murders, secrets, ominous messages all over town, disappearances, a very halloween-y amusement park called Fright Farm... It's just perfect for this time of the year and for people who like Halloween and spooky things but don't enjoy terror too much. Won't scare you but will definitely surprise you.

Cold Skin, by Albert Sánchez Piñol

If you’re into sci-fi movies, this title may ring a bell. Made into a movie in 2017, this book was published originally in 2002. When the main character got off in a stranded island near the Antarctic Circle to work as a weather observer and there’s no sign of the current lighthouse keeper. He soon starts to glimpse signs of weird creatures near the lighthouse. It is not the usual horror stuff, as one may think, but a claustrophobic psychological horror novel.

The Raven Boys, by Maggie Stiefvater

This one is closer to paranormal than spooky but still very appropriate and a very interesting read. Spirits, witches (sorry, clairvoyants), prophecies... the world of the dead was never so alive. This is the first of 4 books (I have the other three in my ongrowing to-read list!) and a very promising start. The characters are charming and lovable, which makes it hard because the first thing you find out is... one of them is destined to die.

The best stories of Edgar Allan Poe

When I was in high school, our English teachers made us read an adaptation of The Black Cat. When I came across a collection of his short stories, I read The Masque of the Red Death, I fell in love with his writing. Short spooky stories to read in a sitting for good seasonal mood.

Stalking Jack the Ripper, by Kerri Meniscalco

In this retelling of the story of Jack the Ripper two young adults will have the only key to unlocking the mystery of the infamous murderer. I loved the fact that the main character was a woman in Victorian London that does not give a s*** about her father's wishes and goes on to study corpses/medicine under her uncles tutelage.

Pumpkinheads, by Rainbow Rowell

Look, I needed to bring back some light into this post because the creepy cralwers are all over it and I don't read horror... like, at all (can Wuthering Heights be considered horror?). So here's my cutesy recommendation for the month of the PSL and cozy afternoons in with a good book. Or, in this case, comic.

The Diviners, by Libba Bray

This whole saga is amazing and crazy and spooky at the same time. The 1920s in New York City were a decade to remember. It's after the war but before the depression so everyone is feeling happy and drunk, right? Not Evie. For her, New York is an escape to the strange murder in her hometown. Will she solve the mystery or will the killer find her first?

I've said it before and I'm going to say it again -

A LOT OF YA WRITERS NEED TO TAKE A PAGE FROM THE "KERRI MENISCALCO BOOK OF MALE CHARACTERS" AND LEARN HOW TO WRITE DARK, MYSTERIOUS AND YET NON-TOXIC MALE LEADS.

YOU CAN BE COLD WITHOUT BEING A COMPLETE JERK AND THERE CAN BE BANTER WITHOUT MAKING REMARKS ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO RAIL THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST.

YOUR MALE LEAD CAN HAVE SEXUAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THE FEMALE LEAD WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE A PREDATOR.

Hell, even mephistopheles was a shit ton better than a lot of male protagonists we have and he was the manipulative one.

Emilia went from wanting to marry a priest to having all princes of hell by the balls. Iconic.

You know the romance is GOOD good when the biggest conflict between the couple is that the boyfriend told someone to be mindful of his girlfriend's trauma and THEY fucked it up by mentioning it in front of people who are just plain sexist and don't care about anyone's feelings. Not lying, not cheating, not hitting your partner. Just trying to take care of them but messing up.

That's the kind of healthy relationship I'm trying to be in. Cressworth are the best ship and I'll die on this hill.

When the plot twist is implicit in the title of the book and you should have known better than to expect otherwise:

I'm sorry but there is something about the way both Thomas Cresswell and Prince Wrath are obsessed with looking the most well - dressed man around that hits me different.

You see all these badass kings and warriors dressed in leathers but the best thing is when a prince of hell, whose lifeblood is war, is fussy about a shirt and would rather stay shirtless in the freaking cave for days rather than look anything less that perfectly sophisticated. Generally characters that are warriors like are shown as really rough and not caring about their looks because they have scars all over them and also, because they want to look as scary and intimidating as possible. Wrath just wants to look like a proper gentleman in case he runs into Emilia's mom.

Then we have Thomas who would be elbow deep in a corpse but would not go into a dungeon because his suit might get cobwebs on it even though it's the middle of the night and nobody would see him.

I've had enough of badass but also pretty female leads (jk, please give me more), I want badass pretty boys.

Wrath @ Emilia: I don't coddle, witch.

Someone: *talks to Emilia in a slightly loud voice*

Wrath: What is happening? What are you doing? Talk to me if you want to speak loudly. Hmm, what's the issue? Not so loud now, are you?

My last post reminded me of something.

Mephistopheles literally destroyed Liza and Houdini's relationship because he wanted to manipulate Audrey. If Audrey had known Houdini loved Liza, I'm pretty sure, despite the difference between their station and families, she would never have opposed her cousin's choices. She would have literally tried to convince her uncle and aunt Amelia to listen to Liza at least once.

Houdini actually did love Liza, Mephisto just had no regard for anyone else and destroyed their relationship because he had a crush on Liza's cousin, who was, very clearly, in love with another man.

You seriously can't tell me that he didn't know about Audrey and Thomas. Even if he didn't know in the beginning, he had plenty of time when he could have backed up and be like, "Oh fuck oh man I really fucked this shit up."

Instead, he noticed the fascination both Audrey and Liza had with the outside world and the carnival because of their upbringing and decided to exploit it.

He literally decided to ruin another man's reputation and love life for his own interests. Not even just one man, but two of them.

Unpopular opinion about SJTR:

A lot of people who say that the book is "not bloody enough" forget that it's narrated from the POV of a forensic expert.

Audrey Rose is voluntarily facing the blood and gore instead of a majority of female protagonists, who are thrust into murder cases.

No surprise she describes things in a cold and calculated manner, as expected of anyone who sees dead bodies in a controlled environment and sees them almost every day.

Also, unlike our usual female assassin characters , she has a very methodological approach to murder.

Most importantly, she is not a villain or hardcore warrior, who is unfazed by blood and gore, but she's also not the kind of character who was dragged into the mess, which for once, makes her quite different from a majority of characters.
