Over and done with in five days … and, like a pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream, my only regret is that it didn’t last longer.
Despite the serial killer angle, the book was surprisingly fun (I wouldn’t go as far as to say ‘light’, but I was very amused by Jackaby) and I am excited to read the rest of the books in this series.įollow Eustea Reads on WordPress.Highly bingeable, in fact. Overall, this was a really fun first book in the series. And of course, I really enjoyed how the story played out. The first time I saw it, with Jackaby determining the travel history of Abigail by noticing the droppings left by the supernatural creatures on her, I knew that there was going to be a good balance between the detective story and the supernatural elements. The supernatural element was pretty cool too. While Jackaby is annoying to everyone around him, he comes across as charmingly eccentric in the story. She makes a good partner to Jackaby, who reminds me of Sherlock Holmes, only Jackaby has the ability to see the supernatural. Abigail, still smarting from her failure to make her way as an independent young lady, is determined to do her best for the case. As they help, Abigail and Jackaby are pulled closer and closer towards a serial killer with a thirst for blood. Jackaby, an investigator with an eye for the supernatural who’s also looking for an assistant.
Fresh off a disappointing dinosaur dig, she looks for a job to avoid having to go back to her parents. Jackaby opens with Abigail Rooks arriving in New England. I’m actually kind of regretting that because I would really like to give my thanks to the person who introduced to this really fun paranormal Holmes-esque adventure.
This has been in my TBR list for so long that I’ve forgotten where I first heard of it.
