I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

I went into this one a bit uncertain, not really sold on the idea. A wolf monster in Paris, killing rich men. The daughter of Dracula’s killer and the daughter of Professor Moriarty in an unlikely partnership to find out the truth. It’s a weird premise!

It sure worked for me though!! The characters were strong; Sam as a main character is very easy to follow along with, the mystery unfolds in a very satisfying way, and the ending sets up perfectly for a sequel.
The pacing was very good in this; we follow Sam and Dr Helena Moriarty (Hel) as they travel to Paris, start to learn to trust each other, chasing clues through the city, into the catacombs and back to the opera; all while being threatened by many sources. (Including Van Helsing’s son? This mismash of characters should not have worked, but it truly did.)

Yeah, loved it, very different to the stuff the current fantasy market is saturated with; more please!
