Samuel has already ruined Stefan’s chances at a normal life, and now he’s framing Damon for the Jack the Ripper murders, too. With the help of Cora, a human girl, Stefan and Damon track Samuel from the glittering ballrooms of London to the city’s asylum, which Samuel uses for his own nefarious purposes. However, while finding Samuel is easy, Damon and Stefan quickly learn that stopping him may be nearly impossible. Full of dark shadows and surprising twists, the fifth book in the New York Times bestselling Stefan’s Diaries series raises the stakes for the Salvatore brothers as they face new loves, old treacheries, and unimaginable threats.

Goodreads review by Cheyenne on February 03, 2025

This one picks up right where the last book left off and yep.. Stefan is still the most dramatic vampire to ever exist. But at this point we’ve just accepted that and we still love him that way. The story was fun and kept me entertained.......more

:/ I have problems with this series. I love the show but WTF Stefan's Diaries are based on the TV series why did they change things in these books that didn't happen in the tv show? it doesn't make sense if the books are supposed to follow the show.......more

Goodreads review by Jay on February 06, 2017

I thought that this book was definitely better than the previous book. What disappointed me was that Stefan actually isn't Jack the Ripper. Kind of upsetting because I thought Stefan would have this dark side to him. There is still one more book to read so I guess we will see what happens.......more

Goodreads review by Loren on March 04, 2019

This is one of my favourites out of the 5 I’ve read. It’s suspenseful, its characters deep. I really loved it so much. Going to be so sad when I finish the last book in this series!......more
