The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
5.0

Amazingly wonderful from the very first page. There was never a dull moment with the story, and I was intrigued with the horror, romance, and comedy. This book has everything a devoted reader enjoys. I was never full aware of the extent of the Jack the Ripper murders and the story conveyed just enough factual information that I literally believed what Rory was going through. Her special abilities caught me off guard because I was not paying attention whatsoever about that. I honestly thought that she saw some form of hybrid ghost vampire, but that was just me and my crazy imagination.

I honestly just loved the whole story, and absolutely cannot wait till the sequel! Sad part is that I have to wait a whole year :/

Definitely recommend this to anyone! Such a great read, and you will be captivated from the very beginning until the end :)
