I'm not much of a sciencey/serious person, so I wasn't sure if it would work for me, but I'm a sucker for anything even vaguely historical. I just can't help it. Especially 1888 Whitechapel history.I was worried some of the more futuristic stuff would turn me off or be too confusing for me but I understood 99% of it. And trust me when I say that's a big deal. I've read some of McCluskey's other books, so I knew I generally enjoyed his writing style, and I wasn't disappointed at all.I loved the twist on the old theory of Jack. I was completely caught off guard by what was going on and I really can't give enough praise for this story. McCluskey's creativity and ability to really show you the story really came through. I liked the idea of a religious cult, I mean, who doesn't right? It was just crazy enough to be plausible.Overall, great story, great writing, great creativity and unique enough to stand above the rest. Well done.————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————M S loves books rated it 5 out of 5 stars it was amazing**A time-travelling SciFi fiction with an attractive and meaningful cover you'll understand once you read?SIGN.ME.UP🤩Ever since I read a SciFi trilogy in 2014,I have loved the genre.What more do you need when you add time-travelling? It's a perfect recipe to attract me,like a moth to a flame🥰💃In the initial few chapters,it was hard to understand what was happening,just like the characters,I was wondering WTH!?!? A purple hue doing strange things that a technologically advanced Earth couldn't understand just like Youssef said 'the events were like nothing he had seen before'.As the story progressed with 3 POVs,I understood what was going on but let me tell you one thing,I couldn't guess what would happen!! I mean,I was on the edge of my seat,flipping through the pages as fast as I could and I couldn't even guess the ending😯So,I would love to say this without spoiling it for anyone out there,if you want a good SciFi+time-travelling+suspense+wonderful narration in a simple enough understandable language...do yourself a favour and grab your copy now!
