review 1: In Victoria England orphans must do the most dangerous and unsavory jobs to survive. Birdie works with Alfred the Bogler, a man who catches and kills monsters for a living. Birdie is used as bait for the monsters who prefer to dine on children, but Birdie enjoys her job. Which is why she is not please when well heeled Miss Edith Eames beings interfering, trying to save Birdie from the evils of Boglering. The first book in a planned trilogy. The book is a fun story but contained some foul language that might put off some readers or their parents.
review 2: I've read many books with monsters, but this plot offered some new twists. Using children as bait and and having a monster hunter question the danger of his job made the story more interesting. Birdie was a sp... moreunky character, and she struggled with some internal conflicts. She lived a dangerous life, and she was offered a chance to live in more comfortable surroundings. I found each meeting with the bogles provided periods of suspense, and the plot led to a thrilling climax. I highly recommend the book! less
