YAShades of London series.
Rory and her friends in the Shades return and regroup after defeating a spectral Jack the Ripper copycat killer at her boarding school in The Name of the Star. While not as taut and engaging as Name, this second installment in the series still offers promising developments, such as Rory's new supernatural power. Fans of the first book should be sufficiently intrigued.
