The Name of the Star (Shades of London #1)The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aurora “Rory” Deveaux arrives in London to a boarding school she will be attending for abroad. Upon her arrival a murder happens that is similar to the murders of Jack the Ripper. With another body found, Rippermania is in full force peaking the curiosity of some of the students including Rory. Rory’s curiosity though sends her on a journey where things go bump in the night and not everything is as it seems.

Very different but highly entertaining. I liked the fact that Rory struggles a bit, her new world is not a seamless transition for her. Very creative plot, enjoyed this very much.
