Representaion Supposing Books The Madness Underneath (Shades of London #2)
After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Deveaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back to her friends. But Rory’s brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she’s become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the city’s secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it’s too late. In this follow-up to the Edgar Award–nominated The Name of the Star, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.Rating Appertaining To Books The Madness Underneath (Shades of London #2)

Read this review and others on my blog!Okay, what do I even say about Maureen Johnson at this point? Shes awesome? I love her characters, her voice, her plotting? Does that about cover it?Listen, Maureen Johnson has a certain style that youll either like or you wont, and her books are all different versions of the same wonderful thing. Quirky and intelligent MC, no parents for miles, a way of inserting detail and humor into the text that keeps you just reading one page, no, two pages, no, twenty3.5. A solid middle entry to the series but I'm not in love with the direction the plot took in the last third of the novel.
This book was a roller coaster. And by that, I mean the kind that putt along the entire time, to the extent where you start to wonder if maybe you accidentally just got on a kiddie ride, then OMG I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS DROP I'M GONNA BARF.It definitely suffered from middle book syndrome, as it's Book 2 in a trilogy... but it felt like the first half resolved issues set up in book 1, and the second half ramped up to the inevitably crazy and exciting book 3. I was actually quite let down, until
If you're like me, whenever you get invested in a book series, you're worried the remaining books won't live up to the first one, right? Well, you won't have to worry about that with The Madness Underneath. It is one of the rare ones. A sequel that is even better than the first one. It is everything you hope for in a sequel. This book has made me feel so many genuine emotions (scared, sad, worried and heart broken) and the ending is a whopper. Rory is one of my favorite characters. I love her
I really liked this book. A lot.Especially because it is composed by so many great things.Great story.Great characters.Great MC.Ghosts.Flawless writing (with funny dialogues and creepy parts).Imagine a table full of your favorite desserts (I'm using a metaphoric example with food, because just like Rory, I much appreciate the subtle art of eating). Even though you want to eat them all, you can not, because your poor stomach would clearly not resist. So you pick up a plate and you serve
I just have to get this out of my system... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!After the first book, I wasn't expecting much from this book. It would have been wrong for this one to be as twisted and creepy as the first, it would have been too much. But it stays in the same unique universe.But I wasn't expecting that. Or that. Or that.Although at times The Madness Underneath feels like a filler, a space between the first and third books when nothing too much *can* happen, it is great in its own
The second book in the Shades of London series does not disappoint. Contrarily, I loved it so very much, that although I have the third book (recently released) in this series, I can't bring myself to start it just yet for fear of suffering major withdrawal upon completion. I'm going to savor these brilliant, kind, honest and witty characters for awhile.Here are some of my favorite lines from The Madness Underneath. We would be friends. Oh, yes. We would be friends. The pointless procedure is
