Then, in nearby Gad’s Valley, dinosaur bones from a recent dig go missing, and an unidentifiable beast attacks animals and people, leaving their mangled bodies behind. A day later, their owner is found murdered, with a single mysterious puncture wound to her neck. First, members of a particularly vicious species of shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens. Jackaby, are called upon to investigate the supernatural. In 1892, New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. It feels realistic and the creatures are just like you and me, bakers, teachers, policemen… you name it, which is a great way of introducing these creatures to us. It’s very fantasy heavy, but in a good way. Especially if you love creatures other than human.
This is the type of book that will get you out of reading slump. Is it enjoyable? Incredibly! Abigail is quite annoying ( she’s not like other girls you know!!!11! ) but she grows as a person throughout the series thank God.
Werewolves, redcaps, gnomes, trolls, ghosts, old assistants turned into ducks… all kinds of creatures are found in this book. Jackaby sees what we can’t see, energy, paranormal creatures and is the link between the Other World (let’s name it that way) and Our World. The police are convinced it’s an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain it’s a nonhuman creature, whose existence the police–with the exception of a handsome young detective named Charlie Cane–deny.Īnd yep, it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds. On her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial killer is on the loose. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby’s assistant. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary–including the ability to see supernatural beings. Newly arrived in New Fiddleham, New England, 1892, and in need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. Yes, I’ve written a review on it all ready, but those are old, so let’s read one that’s newer, bigger, better! 😉 SO, because I am so upset, I decided to bless y’all with a review of the series. Jackaby has been a series I’ve read for years and I’m really upset it’s finished.
So, I finished the Jackaby series in the month of October.
