Hello bookworms! Today I'm coming to you with a review on Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco! This series is my favourite of all time so I cannot wait to discuss it with you all. I buddy read this book with Chantelle from @chantelleisbookish It was such a fun experience and I loved chatting with you, I can't wait to do another buddy read together! Since this is the last book in the series I'll give you the synopsis of the first book. It is a YA historical fiction mystery series where we follow Audrey-Rose Wadsworth who is determined to become a forensic scientist even though society frowns upon her dreams. We are also joined by the amazing Thomas Cresswell, expert of deduction and who is also training to go into the field. The pair team up to solve murders all around the world, starting with their home city of London and facing the infamous serial killer, Jack the Ripper. Kerri Maniscalco has quickly become one of my favourite writers of all time. Her writing is so elegant and it captivated me throughout the novel. Another thing I love about these books is the small images and illustrations in between chapters, like the map of Chicago seen in the image above. They add another layer to the story and bring you even deeper into it. The use of Shakespeare quotes throughout this book was quite moving and gave you hidden clues into the plot. Speaking of, the plot was entertaining and exciting, there was never a dull moment. There was definitely some scary sections, which is what I love in this series, it has amazing characters and relationships but also is intense and dark. A perfect balance! While I love all of the characters in this series with my whole heart, my favourite character is definitely Audrey. Seeing her passion for her work has made me very interested in forensic science. She is incredibly strong and brave when faced with challenges, especially being a woman in her profession. Thomas is also a great character and they complement each other very well. Hearing the author's inspiration for the series was so interesting! Personally I love learning about true crime and having a series like this that included so many of my interests was a dream come true. When I finished this last book I felt lost because I didn't want the series to end! I cannot wait to see more of Kerri Maniscalco's work in the future. I have an ARC of Kingdom of the Wicked that I am extremely excited to read, so stay tuned for my review! All in all, it was an amazing conclusion to the series. As many of you have heard before, I recommend this series to everyone that will listen. If you are looking for an amazing series to binge, now is the time! My rating for this book is 5/5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ That is the end of my review for Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco! I hope you enjoyed it! Have you read this series?
