About the Book:
Gifted with the ability to time-cross between Victorian-era London and World War II Washington, DC, Kathryn faces two lives fraught with danger. In 1938 amid the looming shadow of war, Kathryn is invited to the London Museum as a guest curator to create a groundbreaking exhibit on Jack the Ripper and his reign of terror. As she delves into her grim research, she uncovers a chilling truth: Her own sister is destined to become the Ripper's final victim decades earlier.
In 1888, in a race against fate, Kathryn is assisted by her handsome childhood friend in hunting down history's most elusive killer. As they unravel the threads of mystery woven through time, Kathryn must decide if she'll unmask the murderer history has chosen to hide, forfeiting a life with the man she loves to save her sister.
My Thoughts:
Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer held my attention from the beginning. There were lots of plot twists, in part because it was centered around the heinous murders by Jack the Ripper and the protagonista’s quest to uncover his true identity. I learned a lot about this sad murder spree. The story included some conspiracy ideas and leaned into one particular theory. I felt all the suspense and surprise at Jack’s (fictional) identity. I appreciated the author’s note which clarified certain fictional elements.
Aside from the mystery and danger, Every Hour Until Then held a friends-to-lovers romance. Because Kathryn and Austen were childhood friends, they had issues to overcome but a shared history that bound them together. I loved it even though the romance thread felt secondary to Kathryn’s pursuit of Jack the Ripper and her beloved sister’s safety.
Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer stands as book five in the Timeless series and I felt it was a richer read because I had read the prior books in the series. It might not be my absolute favorite of them all, but it was very good. 4.5 Stars!
