Ripper
Ripper | Amy Carol Reeves
2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
“I felt hot breath on my neck, and, horrified, I knew that he stood behind me . . .” It’s 1888, and after her mother’s sudden death, Abbie is sent to live with her grandmother in a posh London neighborhood. When she begins volunteering at Whitechapel Hospital, Abbie finds she has a passion for helping the abused and sickly women there. But within days, patients begin turning up murdered at the hands of Jack the Ripper. As more women are murdered, Abbie realizes that she and the Ripper share a strange connection: she has visions showing the Ripper luring his future victims to their deaths—moments before he turns his knife upon them. Her desperation to stop the massacres leads Abbie on a perilous hunt for the killer. And her search leads to a mysterious brotherhood whose link to the Ripper threatens not just London but all of mankind. Praise: “Well written . . . Reeves cleverly uses one of the most heinous figures from history to tell a gothic tale with a paranormal twist.”—VOYA

The protagonist was incredibly self-absorbed. The Ripper element seemed more like decoration than integral (and the explanation therefore deeply unsatisfactory), and both of the love interests were caricatures at best. The most interesting aspect was the connection to the Pre-Raphaelites, but it was overshadowed by dubious psychic powers... Not for me

I loved this story. The author took the bones of the ripper story and gave it a whole new life. Can't wait to read the next one
