Ripper by Stephen Petrucha

Ripper is a retelling of the classic case of Jack the Ripper. In this retelling Jack has moved to New York, shortly after the original killings in London. Jack has migrated to New York and continued his work, killing innocent women. But instead of killing prostitutes "working girls" he's killing wealthy women of New York's upper class. But when a young orphan named Carver Young is taken as ward and protege of Albert Hawking, of the New Pinkerton's after finding a mysterious letter he goes on a journey to find his father. Will they be able to catch the killer before he completes his cycle? Will Carver find his father?

This book is full of twists and turns that keeps you reading chapter after chapter as it follows Carver's adventures and the adventures of his friend(s) Delia and Finn as they help try to catch the Ripper, but when the revelation of the Killer's identity throws a wrench in the works will they be able to continue on their path to catch him?

10/10 I would definitely recommend this book, it's fantastic and wonderful and truly riveting I enjoyed it immensely. It was actually recommended to me by a friend. Even though it is 86 Chapters long the Chapters are very short and once you start reading you can't put it down.

This is my first review this week, I'll do a couple certainly, It's Banned Books week in Canada this week, starting on the 23rd so I'll be reviewing some banned or challenged books next week.

Until next week, keep reading and don't forget to leave me book recommendations in the comments.
