RIPPED- a Jack the Ripper Time-Travel Thriller

Young Adult Indie 366

I like the title, but I think the subtitle may turn some readers off the book.

This book is a must-read. I have read and re-read it and enjoyed it just as much (if not more) each time. It's a nerve wracking page turner. I read this book again with my friend when we were visiting England, and it was eerie and exciting to visit the sites mentioned in the book. It's humorous and heart warming as well as hideous and gut wrenching. Read Ripped today!

Good Points

Everything was captivating-- plot, setting, characters-- I loved this book. The relationship between Katie and Toby is heart wrenching. The humor is laugh out loud. The illustrations at the start of each chapter are perfect, creepy without being grotesque. I loved the cockney accents. My friends and I have started using rhyming slang from the book!
