Seventeen-year-old tagger Saira Elian can handle anything… a mother who mysteriously disappears, a stranger who stalks her around London, and even the noble English Grandmother who kicked Saira and her mother out of the family. But when an old graffiti tag in a tube station transports Saira to the 19th Century and she comes face-to-face with Jack the Ripper, she realizes she needs help after … all.
Saira meets Archer, a charming student who helps her blend in as much as a tall, modern American teen can in Victorian England. He reveals the existence of the Immortals: Time, Nature, Fate, War and Death, and explains to Saira that it is possible to move between centuries — if you are a Descendant of Time.
Saira finds unexpected friendships at a boarding school for Immortal Descendants and a complicated love with a young man from the past. But time is running out for her mother, and Saira must embrace her new identity as she hides from Archer a devastating secret about his future that may cost him his life.

I loved this book, and then the series. I’ve already read it twice through, and found myself reading slower to make it last longer. Seriously, it belongs between Twilight and Harry Potter on my book shelf.
Loved this book. I want the next one now.
Loved the whole series
A truly wonderful book/series that I’ve read twice and will read again!
One of my favorites in a long time. I wish I were a clocker too!
Very enjoyable .
A great read. Different, with an interesting concept. Writing style was easy to read and entertaining, the story just flowed along. Couldn’t put it down.
