Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer ~ Book Review

When Kathryn is invited to be a guest curator to help create an exhibit on Jack the Ripper she is thrilled to have been asked to be part of the project.  As she jumps into the research, she is horrified to realize that her sister in her other life in 1888 is one of Jack the Ripper's victims.  Now she has a dilemma on her hands.  One of the rules of being a time crosser is that she cannot do anything that will change history or else she will forfeight that path, but how can she possibly let her own sister remain in danger and be the final victim of this horrilbe killer? 

In Victorian London, Kathryn's sister has been banished from her status loving parents home and Kathryn is not allowed any contact with her.  Knowing what she does from her other life, how can she push the limits of her time crossing life to be able to spare her sister?  And now with her childhood friend involved, her decisions now affect yet another life. 

This was an edge of your seat addition to the author's Timeless series.  They just keep getting better.  This was suspenseful and kept me guessing to the end.  While the main character was at times frustrating and headstrong, her motives were born of  a desperation to somehow save her sister from a horrible and untimely death that would be recorded for all of history.  Yet her recklessness in doing things her own way can prove to be the undoing of it all.  But this is what made her very human to the reader.  Though dealing with horrible events in history, the author managed to  not be overly graphic while maintaining the horror and fear that came with the murders of the women.  There is a thread of faith running through all these book in the series but is not heavy handed.  I appreciated being challenged within the story of thinking of  who really is in control and in whom is my trust and how decisions reverberate through time.  The author's research of the historical periods is once again fantastic.   High recommend though I would definitely read the books in order.  

Rating:  10/10
