Kate, grieving the loss of her parents and
having to move to England, finds herself transported back to the time of Jack
the Ripper along with her cousin and a family friend. Discovering her romanticized version of Victorian
England to be a lie, Kate has to deal with fitting in while not letting others
find out she is not from that time.
I enjoyed the history of the Jack the
Ripper story and was surprised by the reveal at the end. The author did take liberties with the historical
story of Jack the Ripper but it works with the novel and still contains enough
factual history to make the whole thing believable. All of the characters are enjoyable but I
found Toby to be the most interesting.
The book is definitely YA with enough
action to keep anyone interested. If you
are looking for gore, this is the wrong novel for you but it has enough mystery
and suspense to keep you turning the pages.
I was given a complimentary copy from the
publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
