Each one I read becomes my favorite! I love them all, but I especially loved that this one had a bit of a mystery tied with the Jack the Ripper case. I also loved the twist in this one with the time crossing being only fifty years apart. Kathryn is living during the fear of Jack the Ripper’s terror on Whitechapel and someone dear to her is in his crosshairs unless Kathryn goes against the rules she has been taught concerning changing history. In her other time, she has been called to assist with putting together a Jack the Ripper exhibit in London, meanwhile the Nazi’s have gained control and war is starting to spread across Europe. Will what she finds in 1938 help her to decide what to do in 1888 and what about what her heart wants? This storyline was just so good and I absolutely loved Austen! Thank you to the author and publisher for the complementary novel and for graciously allowing me to be a part of the launch team. This review is of my own opinion and accord.

I loved this book! Gabrielle Meyer’s Timeless series just keeps getting better and better. The race to save her sister from Jack the Ripper was gripping, and the twist near the end took me by surprise. And I was in tears by the final pages.. So good! I absolutely can't wait for the next installment.

Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer held my attention from the beginning. There were lots of plot twists, in part because it was centered around the heinous murders by Jack the Ripper and the protagonista’s quest to uncover his true identity. I learned a lot about this sad murder spree. The story included some conspiracy ideas and leaned into one particular theory. I felt all the suspense and surprise at Jack’s (fictional) identity. I appreciated the author’s note which clarified certain fictional elements.

Aside from the mystery and danger, Every Hour Until Then held a friends-to-lovers romance. Because Kathryn and Austen were childhood friends, they had issues to overcome but a shared history that bound them together. I loved it even though the romance thread felt secondary to Kathryn’s pursuit of Jack the Ripper and her beloved sister’s safety.

Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer stands as book five in the Timeless series and I felt it was a richer read because I had read the prior books in the series. It might not be my absolute favorite of them all, but it was very good. 4.5 Stars!

Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the author or publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.

Every Hour Until Then, the newest addition to the Timeless series, delivers a riveting and imaginative exploration of the Jack the Ripper story. Throughout the narrative, I was on the edge of my seat, captivated by Gabrielle's ingenious plot reveals. I loved how the author seamlessly integrates the theme of God's power and His perfect and loving nature. I can’t wait for the next book in this fantastic series.

Every Hour Until then is the 5th installment in the Timeless series and honestly I feel like a broken record at this point, because how are they all still so unique, unpredictable and addictive?!

This one takes our time traveling main character from the heightened fear of pre WW2 to the gritty streets of London where Jack the Ripper is on the prowl.

I loved how even when I thought I knew where the story was headed it still took me by surprise. I was immersed in the historic detail of each time period and really enjoyed the new and old characters. I loved how Kathryn’s two timelines were so intricately woven together to create a full cohesive story!

The underlying mystery was well crafted and the romance in this one was so tender and sweet and 100% did NOT disappoint, I loved every moment they had together and that first kiss deserves a 5 star alone. There are also many faith filled moments that feel organic and give the story heartfelt emotion.

I am just the happiest reader when it comes to these books and I cannot wait for the upcoming story headed our way this fall.

Every Hour Until Then is another incredible installment in Gabrielle Meyer's Timeless series. I loved it, and I am continually impressed by the caliber of stories Gabrielle produces. She sets the bar high with every single book, then surpasses it every single time.

Gabrielle Meyer is a master storyteller, and her meticulous research and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me.

Jack the Ripper has always been fascinating to me, so I was excited to see what Gabrielle would do with the infamous villain, and she did not disappoint. Every Hour Until Then is immersive and descriptive and transports you into the heart of 1888 London and the serial killer who's shadow loomed over the entire city.

Kathryn was a great FMC, and seeing her grow and adapt was wonderful. She is inquisitive and intelligent and willing to do whatever it takes to protect the people closest to her. Watching her work to save her sister was exciting and intriguing, and it was fascinating to watch her unravel the threads of one of the world's most well-known mysteries.

Austen, Kathryn's love interest, was so, so sweet, the perfect soft MMC to foil Kathryn who was often stubborn and headstrong. The way he cared so deeply for Kathryn was touching and romantic, and I loved every moment of their romance.

The theory behind Jack the Ripper's identity and all the moving parts required to keep him hidden were fascinating, and I was enthralled with the way Gabrielle chose to piece together the mystery. The twists were twisty, and, as with all of Gabrielle's books, I thought I knew where everything was headed until I very much did not, which is always a fantastic surprise.

Overall, this an intense story with some sweet romantic moments. As always, I enjoyed seeing characters from past books and knowing how they changed and grew and how their lives ended up. I'm so looking forward to the next book in the series.

Notes:
Genre: Christian Romance/Time Travel/Historical Romance
Romance: Just kisses
Language: None
Violence: Moderate
Content Warnings: This book focuses a lot on Jack the Ripper and his crimes. The crime scenes and descriptions of his murders are detailed and fairly graphic.

Each book in Gabrielle Meyer’s Timeless series takes readers on an era-hopping adventure full of sharp heroines, spellbinding twists, and striking settings; her latest work is no exception. Every Hour until Then is an inspiring romp through 19th- and 20th-century London that gives time-travel fiction a new spin. Complete with rich historical research, lovable characters, and swoon-worthy romance, this book is perfect for anyone looking for a wholesome love story.

"What was the praise of several men compared to the true love of one?"

I don't know how she does it. Gabrielle Meyer again and again astounds, captivates, and delights her readers with a new addition to her Timeless series. Having read the four previous books, I thought I had seen and read everything she can possibly think of, but, obviously, my imagination is too small and the author's is incomparable. I loved being in 1888 London with Kathryn looking for the elusive Jack the Ripper while trying to prevent her sister from becoming his last victim. I also loved being in 1938 and reconnecting with Grace and Luc while Kathryn worked in a London museum as a visiting curator on creating an exhibit on Jack the Ripper. I know much of the book, especially the speculation on the identity of the notorious serial killer, is purely fictional but it was so fascinating to find clues and pieces to this puzzle with Kathryn in both timelines.
Kathryn's headstrong, impulsive, and passionate first person voice was the perfect guide to this fast-paced, suspenseful story, full of intrigue and secrets. The plot differs a little from the previous books in that Kathryn only has one love interest. The intricate twists and turns to the plot remain the bedrock of this book, as the others. I must have read the last half of the book with my mouth hanging open from all the surprises. The grounding faith element was evident in the lives of Grace, Luc, and Austen and it was gratifying to see Kathryn's faith grow throughout the book.

It is clearly one of the best books I've read so far in 2025. If you enjoy time-crossing adventures filled with intrigue, mystery, faith, and sweet romance, you will want to read this book and the rest of the series. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Bethany House via Interviews and Reviews and NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.

Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer beautifully blends two time periods together into one intriguing tale. I liked the female and male main characters. I like how the romance played out. I thought it was sweet. I could tell that the author did her research regarding Jack the Ripper. There are many different theories, and the author gave me something to ponder. I like how the author weaved Jack the Ripper into both time periods (there are gruesome details). All the pieces came together to make an intriguing tale. There are twists and turns to keep a reader off balance. Faith is nicely knit into the story. The pearl of wisdom that I gathered is that God’s plans are always better than our own (man plans and God laughs). The story has suspense, mystery, a touch of romance, and faith. Every Hour Until Then Is the fifth book in the Timeless series and it can be read as a standalone. Every Hour Until Then is a captivating tale with temporal translocation, a search for a sister, curating a collection, a serial killer, an approaching conflict, a parental problem, and a fantastic future.

Yet another riveting and amazing installment in the Timeless series, Every Hour Until Then is a fascinating imagining around the Jack the Ripper story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time...it was absolutely fascinating and the twists that Gabrielle throws in are just mind blowing. However, she always ties it back to the fact that God is sovereign and His will and plan are perfect! I love that part. I'm already eagerly anticipating the next one!

There’s something truly special about the way this author writes-how she effortlessly blends rich historical fiction with time travel and deeply human, character-driven storytelling. Her books have become some of my ultimate comfort reads- filled with emotion, mystery, and the kind of immersive worlds you never want to leave. I can’t get enough of her work, and this newest installment only deepens that admiration.

In a world divided by time and bound by fate, Kathryn Whitmore lives a double life-one as a rising historian in the glittering whirlwind of 1938 Washington, D.C., and the other in the gaslit shadows of 1888 London. By day, she’s curating a controversial exhibit on one of history’s most infamous killers. By night…drawn by a force she can’t explain, she walks the fog-drenched cobblestone streets of Victorian London, where a brutal murderer lurks in the darkness and secrets refuse to stay buried.

When Kathryn discovers that her own sister’s name appears on a list of future victims, her obsession becomes personal. With time fraying at the edges and history unwilling to be rewritten, Kathryn must rely on her wit, courage, and the unexpected help of a childhood friend-now a brooding detective with secrets of his own.

As the past and present collide, Kathryn faces an impossible choice: expose a truth the world was never meant to know-or sacrifice everything to save the one person she loves most. A tale of love, time…this gripping journey through two eras proves that every decision can echo across the centuries.

What a brilliant page-turner! This series just keeps getting better and better. Just when I think I've read every plot that can be written about time-crossers, Gabrielle Meyer manages to surprise me... again!

Every Hour Until Then is probably the most tension-filled and twistiest Timeless book yet! We get the suspense from a murder mystery mixed with the melodrama and heartbreaking romance.

Kathryn lives two lives - as Kathryn Kelly in 1888, and Kathryn Voland in 1938. She goes back and forth when she falls asleep in one timeline, until she has to choose one to stay in when she turns 25.

In 1888, Jack the Ripper was just starting to stir the world with his gruesome murders, while in 1938 he has become infamous for the way he left his victims, while not getting caught. When she finds out her sister is bound to become the last of his victims, Kathryn throws everything on the line to save her - risking forfeiting that timeline and her own chance at happiness.

So many emotions felt in this one! The horror of the deaths themselves, the mystery of Jack the Ripper's identity, fear for the brewing world war, uncertainty for what's to come, helplessness in fighting against time and what history has already set in stone. All of this will surely take you through the ringer and back again.

Given that Kathryn's two lives are just 50 years apart, they're prone to overlapping. That plot element was cleverly used in the story, and the way that everything tied up by the end was just GENIUS!

Every time when I finish a book in this series, I think "This is the best yet", but honestly, they're all so very good!! I'm amazed at how the author comes up with original twists and turns and makes each new title original! This was a wonderful adventure and I hope the series will continue.

I loved the setup for this story. Kathryn's sister in 1888 disappears right as Jack the Ripper starts his reign of terror. In 1938, Kathryn is researching Jack the Ripper and finds that her sister is his last victim. Kathryn knows that if she changes history, she forfeits her life in that time period. This was a fascinating read. As much as we hate to admit it, Jack the Ripper is very mysterious and interesting. It was intriguing seeing some possible interpretations of his life fleshed out. There were unexpected twists. It felt sinister and dangerous in both time periods at times. Knowing the date things were to happen in the past lends urgency to the investigation.

It was also interesting that Kathryn in the future could possible run into people she knows from her earlier life, maybe even herself. It raises a lot of thought-provoking questions to think about. I liked it and would recommend it.

Thank you to Bethany House for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This is the first time-crossing novel I've read. It deftly weaves together storylines from 1888 and 1938. The author does a good job of pulling you forward in a quest to learn more. The characters are well developed, and I like the natural way the author weaves faith into the storyline. It was a read that kept me engaged the whole time.

"Why is the world so broken?" I asked her, tears in my voice.
She gently took my hand. "Because the hearts and the minds of her people are broken. And until we stop fearing our neighbors, and love them as Jesus commanded, there will be war and hatred and anger. Fear has the power to cause an entire nation to rise up and kill her perceived enemies. Just imagine what love could do if we'd let it.

Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer

This is one book that after finishing it I wanted to start all over again. It left my head spinning, my heart racing, and I literally consumed it in one day. I couldn't read it fast enough, while simultaneously not wanting the book to end.
I would have devoured it in one sitting, if I didn't have some adult responsibilities and family things to attend to (doctor appt, nephew's birthday party, make dinner). But I finished just before midnight on the day I started. Did I put off so many other adult responsibilities, like eat lunch and pack for our trip? Yes! Was I tired the next day and had to go to work, pack for our trip, etc.? Also yes! Did I regret it? No!

The Christian Themes:
The Christian themes in this one were especially poignant for me. I felt like they spoke to my soul and heart. I'm at a few crossroads in my life right now, trying to decide which path is what my Heavenly Father wants me to do. Nothing so dire as what Kathryn faces in Every Hour until Then, but important to my specific life. I really loved her journey, and coming to embrace and really rely on God throughout it. It's truly beautiful.

The Mystery, Suspense, and Plot Twists:
Wow oh Wow! This book literally had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath, and literally gasping out loud multiple times! I wish I would have filmed my reactions. But seriously, the tension and suspense were deliciously eerie and chilling to the bone. When the main character said she had chills running down her spine, I got chills. The plot was very twisty and there were so many surprises I never in a million years saw coming.
Now, I want to go and do my own research surrounding this time period, because I have a weird fascination with it, even before reading this story.
*I feel that my first photo perfectly illustrates the mood of Victorian England in this one. That time period really fascinates me. I love Gothic, spooky books filled with mystery, so this book was seriously so perfect! (That's a gross understatement, but just roll with it.;)

The Characters:
I loved the main character of Kathryn. She is so determined and strong-willed. And loves so fiercely!
I also adored her mama and papa in 1938. I was frustrated with her sister sometimes, but that's how it's supposed to be.
Austen is perfectly grumpy, and rightfully so! I really enjoyed getting to know him and his journey. And the journey Kate and Austen go on together to solve the mystery. Their beautiful connection and the angst between them was well-written. The raw emotions were very powerfully felt.

I can't say enough good things about this one. It is definitely a new favorite. I'm not even going to mention what this story is about, in case you want to go in blind. I would suggest not reading the back of the book if you want to be 100% surprised. But see my content warnings if you have a bit of a squeamish stomach.

Gabrielle Meyer is a brilliant author. I'm really not sure she can top this one. This series keeps getting better and better.

I did an immersive read of this one, listening to the audiobook while I held the book in my hands, marking my favorite parts and quotes, and honestly it was the best experience! The audio is top-notch!

If this series is not yet on your tbr, DO YOURSELF a favor and get it on there. If it is on your tbr, move it ALL the way to the top and make it a priority. Haha, sorry, not sorry to sound so pushy. There are only 2 more books left to be published in the series! So if you are just waiting for the last two to be published, you don't have long to wait.

Thank you to the author and publisher for the review copy. All gushings and ravings are my own.

At first reading about Jack the Ripper was really hard. But I kept with it and was very glad I did.
I absolutely knew Kathryn had only one love interest unlike the other books in the series.
The last third or so of the book was very involved. I can't even imagine how Gabrielle Meyer kept up with all the things that were going on. But she IS an excellent writer.
I did find myself getting nervous over all that was happening.
I loved reading the author's notes at the end. In fact I looked forward to that all through the book so I could understand her thought process and how she planned and wrote this story.
This book was her closest to a typical dual timeline of all this series. I am not a fan of those but this story held me captive.
Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions are entirely my own.

‘I considered all the obstacles before me, I had to remind myself that even if I unlocked the secret to Jack the Ripper’s identity, there was little I could do about it. My only concern was saving my sisters, though I was starting to fear that I might get entangled in Jack’s funny little game after all.’

Talk about a gripping setup! This book hooked me from page one and didn’t let go. Gabrielle Meyer has crafted a masterful blend of suspense, romance, and historical intrigue that had me fully invested in both timelines.

THIS SERIES IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING! I REALLY CANNOT GET ENOUGH!

The Jack the Ripper theme running through this novel gave it just the right amount of suspense—it absolutely gave me the chills—but it never crossed the line into nightmare territory. I loved that balance. It felt immersive without being overwhelming.

And those timelines? Flawless. Whether I was in 1888 Victorian London or 1938 Washington, DC, I was captivated. The mystery, the pacing, the clues across decades—it was all so smartly woven together.

Now let’s talk about the romance 😍 The swoon factor was high, and I had a favorite from the beginning (you’ll see what I mean), but Meyer kept me guessing the whole way through. The twists and turns had me turning pages long past my bedtime. No spoilers here, but trust me: the ending is worth every moment of the journey.

If you love dual timelines, historical mystery, strong heroines, and slow-burn romance—with just the right amount of suspense/mystery—this book is a must-read.

Five stars, 10/10, clean, romantic, suspenseful with perfectly placed clues, and completely unputdownable. I can’t recommend this one enough, friends! It will be available May 20th - Preorder this one today so you’re ready to start reading as soon as it drops!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Content/Triggers: death scenes mentioned and briefly described, murders, mentions of female prostitutes in poor areas of England, mild suspense/peril, romance—kisses only.

I’ve been firmly entranced by Gabrielle Meyer’s amazing Timeless series for a while now and I was deeply mesmerized by Book 5. They don’t necessarily need to be read in order, as each story tells the tale of a girl who has a mark that allows her to live one day in one time period and when she wakes up, she’s in a different time period, alternating each night as she goes to sleep. In this installment, Kathryn lives in the dual timelines of 1888 and 1938, during the height of the terror of Jack the Ripper and on the cusp of WWII.

Kathryn is extremely headstrong, as she knows exactly which timeline she’ll choose to stay in on her 25th birthday and is fiercely loyal to her family–even at the expense of forfeiting her life and possibly altering history. She’s tenacious, intense, and splendid, and I admired the way she was able to reconnect with her childhood friend, Austen, in a race to save her sister from the trepidation that afflicted the time. But as the story progressed and her personality took a shift, I grew to appreciate her even more.

I was deeply astounded at the way Meyer brought this timeless mystery into another timeline and created something shocking, twisty, and haunting. I furiously sped through these pages, devouring every word, interaction, and plot twist.

This story is truly amazing and I can’t recommend this book (and whole series) enough.

Content: death/murder but not too graphic (some detail); talk of prostitutes, war, evil; mild+ religion; mild romance

What book did you read over the weekend? I read Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer while camping this weekend and I couldn’t put this book down!

Kathryn lives in two worlds. In 1888, she is a Victorian lady from a rich and socially prominent family while in 1938 she is a museum curator putting together an exhibit for the British Museum on Jack the Ripper. She lives a day in one world, goes to sleep, and then wakes up in the other. She has until the age of 25 to pick the timeline that she would like to live in forever. As she goes through the material for the museum exhibit in 1938, she realizes that her beloved sister in 1888 is Jack the Ripper’s last victim. How can she save her sister in 1888, but not impact history?

My thoughts on this novel:
• This is the fifth book in the timeless series. I seem to love each book even more than the last book. This book can be read as a standalone, but it’s fun to see returning characters from other books and know their back stories.

• I really liked how Kathryn was able to use both timelines to put together the clues to solve the mystery of her sister’s exile from her family, and to solve the ultimate mystery of who was Jack the Ripper. It definitely kept me riveted!! I have always been fascinated by Jack the Ripper and I though author Gabrielle Meyer really put the facts together in an engaging way while also putting together an interesting theory of who the Ripper was and why he committed his crimes.

• The love between Kathryn and Austen in 1888 was palpable and alive. I greatly enjoyed their romance. It was very poignant in the future timeline when she saw old Austen from afar and he would not come to her.

• This is a clean read. There is some kissing. Jack the Ripper and his crimes are discussed, but they happen off screen and the story doesn’t go into detail on the gruesomeness of the crimes.

• There were lots of goodies at the end of this novel including an author’s note, historical note, a chapter from the next novel, and discussion questions. I can’t wait for November and the next novel in this series – Through Each Tomorrow. One setting is Fredericksburg, Virginia. I have visited that beautiful city a few times in my life.

Overall, Every Hour Until Then is a captivating time travel historical romance with plenty of mystery and suspense and great characters. I highly recommend it and this entire series!
