The Name Of The Star by Maureen

 Johnson

Pages: 372, paperback
Release Date: October 2nd 2012 by Speak

The Plot: 

The day that Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London to start a new life at boarding school is also the day a series of brutal murders breaks out over the city, killings mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper spree of more than a century ago. Soon "Rippermania" takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. 

Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him--the only one who can see him. And now Rory has become his next target. In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities

My Review: 

This book was really AMAZING. I am telling you guys, you won't be disappointed. There was a bit of everything, and together, it was just so perfect. Well, the romance part was a bit crappy but the thrill of the Jack the Ripper thing was just breathtaking. 

I absolutely loved the plot of the story, especially the way that it's kind of original since no one have actually used the idea of Jack the Ripper's murders as a book plot. 

So yeah you guys, 5 stars!
