The Madness Underneath
Ratings25
Average rating3.9
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.

Definitely wasn't as exciting as the first one, but it was still rather good.
Btw, does this mean there's no more Alistair in the next book? I was not satisfied when his minor appearance in the novel. I'm hoping Rory makes a brief stop at Wexford and visits him in the third book, but I don't see that happening. He's my favorite character though, I love him!
OK I plan to write more of a review later but basically I could not put this down and then when I finished it I had ghost nightmares! And I'm not even normally scared of ghosts! ahhhhh—2/15 I re-read this in preparation for [b:The Shadow Cabinet 17412895 The Shadow Cabinet (Shades of London, #3) Maureen Johnson https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1413890452s/17412895.jpg 24258340].
