No, it wasn’t…possible.
Couldn’t be.
And yet the newsprint didn’t change. What I was reading wasn’t going away—if anything—it was becoming clearer as the tears dried on my cheeks, the swell of happiness replaced swiftly with the crushing fist of horror slamming down like a wrecking ball against my battered heart. I reread the first few lines again, sure I’d imagined it.
Considerable shock was caused yesterday morning in the east end as Alexander Ian Reid, Jasper Smith, Everett Leslie Turner, and Ellis Bishop were found to be brutally murdered and mutilated in their home on…
I stopped reading. I couldn’t. When I blinked, an inky blackness tried to crowd in at my peripherals—all the blood draining from my face, leaving me shaking.
They were…murdered?
No, not just murdered. Mutilated.
I felt like I was about to be sick, my throat thick with an acidic tang.
Barely holding myself together, I forced my gaze back down and caught sight of the date printed at the top of the page.
Wednesday, December 12, 1888.
A little over two months from now in present day.
Hope bubbled up within me, and I tore the page from the binding and folded it as neatly as I could with clumsy fingers, putting a hand to the bookcase to steady myself as I forced my legs to cooperate, vision swimming.
Hobbling down the corridor of books with the bit of newsprint clutched tightly in an iron grip, I made for the exit, my heart racing to a point where I feared it might burst.

A Note From The Authors
Thank you from the bottom of our twisted little hearts for giving this new series a chance!
It has been a passion project for both of us, and we’ve really found our groove with these characters. Beck and her guys are more than names on a piece of paper or text on your screen—they’ve been inspiring and challenging to bring into the world and we hope you can feel the essence of who they are as vividly as we can!
As always, there is a very long list of people who deserve thanks (it really does take a village!), so we will say briefly that we wouldn’t be where we are now without the unwavering support and invaluable help offered by our incredible alphas and betas, our PA’s, and our brilliant advance readers. Seriously, you guys are amazing.
Lastly, we want to thank you, dear reader. We wouldn’t be here without you.
XOXO
With love and kisses from Elena Lawson and Katie May
