I requested this several years ago and I don't think it's a book for me anymore. So I will not be reviewing at this time, but if I do read it, I will update this review. Thank you for the opportunity.

An interesting work of fiction based on The Ripper cases.
Many thanks to New Book Partners and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Sadly, this was a "DNF" book for myself. I did purchase it for the library because it is an interesting premise. Most brought the book back unfinished like myself.

I am always fascinated by Jack the Ripper stories, but this one did not live up to my expectations. I wish there had been more horror or excitement throughout the book, but there was not.

This book surprised me with its twist on the classic reality that still haunts us today.. Hauntingly spooky while painting a case for a serious time. The fictional elements went beyond what I was expecting and added a much needed flavor to the well-treaded story.

I did not have a chance to read this book, but it is effecting my feedback rating. I am giving books 5 stars that I haven't read to improve my feedback rating. I am not recommending the book for my classroom or students since I have not read the book. There needs to be a better system of leaving feedback for books not read.

I received this book free for an honest review from Netgalley.

I haven’t read any Jack the Ripper books prior to this and I don’t know anything about what he did so going into this I didn’t know that the facts might not have all been accurate. I liked this book overall. I felt like the characters keep me interested and I liked trying to guess who was Jack the Ripper. Sometimes I didn’t care for the language and sometimes I felt like things repeated themselves back to back which was annoying and seemed like a space filler. Otherwise, I enjoyed this book.

This was a really good book I am sorry I did not know much about writing this review part back when it was more appropriate but I can assure you the book name was passed along to the teen librarian for purchase back then, as I believed it would make a awesome addition to our library and that the teens would really love it. I mean really time travel with tech and Jack the Ripper what more can a teen ( girl or boy) ask for. This really is a awesome book.

I am not much of a historical fiction fan, but it being about Jack the Ripper caught my attention. However, it fell flat for me in a few areas and think it could have been helped with some stronger editing. It is quite a long novel, but could have easily been shortened by about a hundred pages or so, just to better keep the readers attention. This was not a bad read in any way, just not a favourite.

What a cool concept! I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Thoroughly enjoyed this time travel novel. Combining one of my favorite genres with one of my favorite historical figures made this book twice as good for me.
