This is it.
This is the end.
Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell have one last demon to catch before they can finally settle down. One last madman who might have come to America on the very same ship.
Like the rest of this YA historical fiction series, Capturing the Devil is loosely based on America's first serial killer, H. H. Holmes. For those who don't know, H. H. Holmes was a dubbed "Devil in the White City." He created a hotel that covered an entire city block. But this hotel really his torture palace. He spent many years torturing and murdering women inside these walls. There was also mass hysteria surrounding the idea that Jack the Ripper was stalking the streets of Chicago. Could it be that Jack the Ripper and H. H. Holmes are the same person?
Alright, let's talk about Cressworth.
I love them.
Most of the book surrounded their relationship and their undying love for each other, which kind of made me want to gag but I definitely caught myself grinning like a teenager reading about their love. It's just so raw and intense. After everything they've been through together, and all the twists and turns in this book, they deserve the ending they got. It was magical, honestly.
This really was a perfect ending.
