One of the things I get the most excited every new year is getting more books in the Timeless series. These books truly have it all— captivating characters, unmatched suspense, inspiring faith, interesting history, and compelling love stories. Every Hour Until Then was no different! These books play out like a movie in my head and I absolutley love that!👏🏼

Characters in the Timeless series come alive for me and I love that!
Kathryn and Austen felt so real and I loved them! Their chemistry was everything.🫶🏼
Kathryn was a great heroine and I loved getting her story! It was so special reading about Grace and Luc’s daughter, and I loved seeing them again in this book.🥰
I adored Austen! I wanted to give him the biggest hug the whole time.🥺 He was simply the best.❤️ Gabrielle writes the best heroes!

As I said before, Kathryn and Austen’s chemistry was perfect! Best friends to lovers is my favorite trope and I adored their story! The tension between the two was palpable. Their dialogue and banter was wonderful.❤️

The storyline of this book was extremely interesting! The suspense was incredible! I literally could not put this book down. I had no idea what was going to happen next! Just when I thought I had it figured out, there was a plot twist that I did not see coming. I loved it!

Content notes: This book is clean. There are some brief descriptions of the horrific murders that were gory/gruesome. I am pretty sensitive to gruesome/gory details so there were a few parts I skimmed in this book regarding the murders. That being said, Gabrielle did a great job of weaving in the history without adding too much violence given the subject. It was kept brief and can easily be skimmed if needed.

The ending was absolutely perfect and so emotional.🥹

In conclusion, I absolutely loved this book! I do not want this series to end! If you’re looking for Christian fiction with a unique storyline, look no further! I literally can’t wait for the next book in this series.

I’ve been following along with this series ever since book one was first released. I find the setting and twist on time-travel fascinating, and so far, I’ve greatly enjoyed each subsequent book. And after finishing book #4, I couldn’t wait until this one came out—this unique spin on history, as well as the delightful romances that accompany each book, are a lot of fun to read about.

I was not disappointed! Once again, Meyer came up with a new twist on this story world, and I found it fascinating to watch as she pulled everything together for this mystery. Of the five books in the series, I think this one has the strongest mystery—and since it had to do with a historical happening that I knew very little about, I found that mystery even more compelling. (And, thankfully, the descriptions didn’t get very in-depth or gruesome.)

As always, the characters, setting, and romance were done well. I could relate to Kathryn and her drive to protect her sister at all costs; I loved watching Austen fight against his love for Kathryn and try to do the right thing by her; and I also loved being back in the Victorian era, a setting that is familiar but not necessarily one I’ve read a book about for quite a while.

I did struggle a little with the feminism in this story—it didn’t come through a lot, but it was definitely there.

If you enjoy historical romance with a good splash of mystery/detective work and relatable characters, I’d highly recommend you check this book out. Overall, this was a delightful read, and I’m looking forward to reading book #6 in the series whenever it comes out!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion of it.

If I could give this book more than five stars, I absolutely would!!!! I could NOT put this down. It seriously latched onto me, and I don’t think I will stop thinking about it for a while!! It is a book that will consume your every thought, so you may as well clear your schedule and binge it (take it from someone who still had to be a mom in between readings 😉😂).
Jack the Ripper is the name of the game here, and it is terrifying, creepy and addicting. But she somehow managed to have a romance that I was obsessed with, and a Christian theme. It was BEAUTIFUL. My favorite book so far, and that is saying something!!!!

THANK YOU to the author and publisher for an advance copy. All gushing is freely given.

The eras in this book provided phenomenal settings. The characters were pristine. The MMC/FMC connection was divine! So so good!

“God is sovereign,” Papa said. “Even when we don’t understand, He allows certain things to happen for His purposes. When we say we know better, then it means we don’t believe He is sovereign or just. That His will is not as perfect as our own—and that’s a dangerous game to play.”

I need more than 5 stars to accurately rate this book! Gabrielle Meyer has done an about amazing job on the Timeless series and I have loved every single page. When I heard that Kathryn’s timelines would include both Jack the Ripper and Hitler, I knew I would have to read it! I’m not sure how Gabrielle manages it but each book in this series has managed to outshine the previous book. The characters she writes are dynamic and well written and I love how they grow through their journey. Every single book in the series highlights how God always uses our circumstances for our ultimate good, even when we don’t understand how He will be able to do that. At the end of the day, God is sovereign and we are not. We can trust Him in all things. This story had me truly enthralled and I’d have finished it sooner, but Gabrielle has a knack for capturing my attention with details that send me down the researching rabbit hole because I need more information about the people and events mentioned. This was such a suspenseful story and there were a few times I found myself actually fussing at Kathryn, out loud for doing dangerous things! I thought the Jack the Ripper theories that were touched on were incredibly interesting and I wonder if we will ever know his real identity. There were a few times that I suspected the surprise twist and I was still shocked when it was revealed. I’m finding myself already anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. I hope there will be many more. There is still so much history for our time crossers to explore!

gabrielle meyer has done it again!!! i feel like i say this every time but it’s so true!! every hour until then is another stunning, emotional, and brilliant installment in the timeless series and all i can say is wow. i flew through this book with my heart in my throat, completely swept up in the intertwined timelines of 1938 and 1888. the way those two years mirrored and collided was absolutely genius and the twists had me gasping out loud. meyer has such a gift for weaving together history, suspense, and deep emotion in a way that completely wrecks you…in the best possible way, of course!! i love how these stories stress me out but somehow they always land perfectly, leaving me full of hope and awe.

the romance was everything. it’s pretty obvious but i just loved how it was sacrificial and tender. i adored austen and the way he supported kathryn, even when it cost him deeply. their relationship had me in tears more than once. kathryn’s faith journey was so moving. watching her come to the end of herself and lean on God was powerful and beautifully written. and let’s talk about the jack the ripper storyline. it was so masterfully done, with rich historical detail that added so much depth and tension. meyer balanced it all flawlessly. this series is something special, and i honestly can’t recommend it enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely Captivating – A Must-Read in an Unforgettable Series!

I absolutely love and recommend every story in Gabrielle Meyer’s incredible series! Each book is so well written, unique, and completely unpredictable, with wonderful characters and compelling storylines. I truly hope we get more than the six books promised—these stories are just too good to let go!

It’s tough to write a review without giving away any spoilers, so I’ll just say this: Every Hour Until Then had me hooked from the first page! Both timelines—1888 and 1938—were completely immersive with Kathryn’s determination to save her sister and uncover Jack the Ripper’s identity. This kept me on the edge of my seat, especially in the 1888 setting. The romance between Austen and Kathryn was sweet, heartfelt, and ultimately epic. I couldn’t imagine how it would all work out, but the ending exceeded even my wildest hopes.

Every Hour Until Then might just be my favorite in the series so far (though choosing is nearly impossible because they’re all phenomenal). If you haven’t started this series yet—what are you waiting for? You won’t regret it!

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 completely captivated me from chapter one! I was equally hooked by the plot and suspenseful mystery as I was compelled by the characters. This book truly deserves its place in the excellent 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 series!

The story follows a time-crosser named Kathryn who simultaneously lives in 1888 & 1938. While working as a guest curator in for a new exhibit in the London Museum on Jack the Ripper, she discovers that her own sister will become the Ripper’s final victim decades prior in 1888. With the help of her childhood best friend, she works to discover who the elusive Jack the Ripper really is in order to save her sister, but at what cost?

I found Kathryn to be a very strong protagonist, and loved her growth! Throughout the story she deeply struggles with her desire to be in charge of the situations she finds herself in, and her journey of learning to trust in God was both memorable and relatable. The Jack the Ripper parts were very interesting and suspenseful, and the villain reveal really surprised me!

Overall, 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 lived up to my every expectation, and, dare I say, is my favourite of the series! Gabrielle Meyer did such a beautiful job writing this book, and I devoured every moment of it! Honestly, I’m not sure how I’m going to patiently wait until November for the next book in the series!!

Thank you to @gabrielle_meyer @bethanyhousefiction and @austenprose for the #gifted book.

This is my first encounter with Gabrielle's work, and I was thoroughly captivated by it. I'm now eager to delve into books 1-4 in the Timeless series. While it does reference previous characters, I firmly believe this installment stands strong on its own.

Blending historical fiction, time travel, and romance, this story unfolds across two vastly different timelines: 1888 and 1938. We follow the determined Kathryn as she navigates the perilous world of Victorian London, striving to prevent Jack the Ripper from claiming her sister's life. Armed with insights gained from her role in the London Museum in 1938, her quest is both thrilling and urgent.

The author's engaging writing style immerses you in the narrative, making you feel as though you’re right there alongside Kathryn. The suspense, mystery, and action are masterfully executed, compelling me to turn the pages with eagerness. The depth of research behind the story is impressive, adding authenticity to every twist and turn.

Kathryn is a remarkable character—strong, tenacious, and unwavering in her loyalty. Her investigative prowess propels the plot forward at a brisk pace, keeping you on the edge of your seat as she unravels the mysteries surrounding Jack the Ripper. I particularly enjoyed how the author explored various theories about this infamous figure, adding layers to both the narrative and Kathryn's journey.

The relationship between Kathryn and Austen in the 1888 timeline is beautifully crafted, revealing the depth of their love amidst the chaos of their circumstances.

With its intricate layers, heart-pounding suspense, and a touch of wholesome romance, this book has something for everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend it to readers of all genres—this is a journey you won’t want to miss!

I have loved every one of these books from this series. They weave history and magical realism with faith so well, it is always an interesting and exciting story! And Jack the Ripper as a central figure in this one is very enjoyable and suspenseful.

I didn’t know a lot about Jack the Ripper going in, and it was really exciting for this to be the backdrop, and to watch a time crosser whose time lines are so close together!

I loved the romantic aspect as well, but it didn’t really take center stage in this one the way that it did in others. Still a sweet and heart wrenching storyline. The stakes in this books are always so high, which ups the suspense and keeps the reader on their toes.

Definitely a great read! I love it.

Here's the thing. Obviously we know that time travel isn't possible, but Meyer makes it so real! Like it could really happen. And her spin on the Jack the Ripper mystery - oh my goodness it was brilliant. Amazing plot twist at the end that I did not see coming. It was so well thought out, especially how it affected both time periods.

But perhaps the biggest lesson to learn here was that ultimately God has a plan for our lives, and we need to trust that He knows best. Quite often we try to go our own way and then hope that God just goes along with it. But that is ultimately not what's best for us and that was such a wonderful reminder throughout this story.

If you haven't read this series yet than you don't know what you're missing. Every release is my favorite, this one included! And each one has new elements to the time travel rules that make it fresh and exciting. I'd love to tell you what those are, but spoilers and all lol. Just read it for yourself!!

Whenever I finish a book of Meyer’s I am always left stunned. Her writing consistently blows me away and I am left in awe every single time. I am constantly recommending the Timeless series to friends and family.

This book is non-stop and so well done. The plot is meticulously executed and I didn’t want to stop reading. Kathryn is amazing. Strong and determined in both timelines. It was lovely to see her mother, Grace, from a previous book in series, in this book too.

Kathryn’s timelines in this book are 1888 and 1938. I loved how Meyer was able to bring Jack the Ripper into both timelines. Too much happens to Kathryn and the other characters to even begin to summarize, even mentioning a name could be a spoiler, I do not want to give anything away. It was fascinating to see history unfolding with the events mentioned in this book. Yes, the author took liberties, that is expected in fiction, and I loved how Meyer tied it all together. Her author’s notes are just a wonderful as the story itself.

This series is one of the best I’ve read and I will always keep wanting more and more books. The author did an incredible job of keeping me invested in the story. The way the chapters would end, there was no way I was stopping! This is a series, but the way the author catches up the reader and explains time-crossing, these can be stand-alones. But what are you waiting for? Pick up these books as soon as possible.

Wow! This is a book I absolutely could not put down. I went into it partially blind—I knew it had something to do with Jack the Ripper and his heinous crimes, but I didn’t know many details. Not too far in, I had to pause and read the synopsis on the back cover. 🙈

The vibes in this book are so different from the rest of the series. I love a good thriller—not too gruesome or scary, but just enough—and this book really fit the bill. Another interesting aspect was Kathryn’s two timelines were only 50 years apart— the closest timeline we’ve seen yet. I won’t give anything away but it really made for some interesting scenarios!!

I’d describe it as a fast paced, page-turner with dark twists and deep secrets involving a high-society cover-up. I loved it! I had no idea how the ending would turn out. I was genuinely surprised to see how it unfolded and to learn who the real culprit was.

As always, there’s a dash of romance, and I particularly loved this book’s couple. This is by far my favorite in the series.

✨ Don’t miss the author’s note—it’s incredibly interesting!

📝 This book is best read in order with the series. It references previous characters and plots. It could technically be stand alone but may be a bit confusing in parts.

⚠️ Content: Murder, mild to medium descriptions of gruesome murders/mutilations, discussions of prostitution, kidnapping. Closed-door romance; some descriptive kisses. Christian themes and message woven throughout.

The novel has two historical periods that are featured. It’s divided between Victorian-era London and WWII Washington, DC. In 1938, Kathryn is invited to the London Museum as a guest curator to create an exhibit about Jack the Ripper. As Kathryn dives deeper into the subject, she discovers alarming information that undermines her enthusiasm for hosting this event. She has a difficult decision to make. Is she willing to sacrifice her ideal timeline to save her sister's life, which would alter history? Who knows what other changes will occur? Was she sure she wanted to do this?

In this installment, readers get a front-row seat in learning about Jack the Ripper, a guy who perpetrated horrible crimes against unmarried women who were ladies of the night. This man perpetrated incomprehensible acts of violence and was never caught. I liked the fact this book didn’t get graphic about the crime scenes.

I have read all the novels in the Timeless series and was blown away by this new adventure. I was delighted that the author explores more time travel possibilities, making this tale both engaging and suspenseful. Book 6 titled, Each Tomorrow, will be released on September 4, 2025. Make sure to mark your calendars for the release. I'm curious to see what adventure readers will go on next.

Meyer once again blew me away with her newest timeless book! As par with the other timeless series, Kathryn lives two lives in two different times. She doesn’t time travel in the “traditional sense”, but her mind and soul do. It’s such a refreshing twist to the standard time travel books! Kathryn, like the other timeless women, thought she knew what path she was going to choose, but God placed many twists and turns to test and try Kathryn before making her final decision. Meyer always expertly does her research on each era and I always find myself learning something new about history! Also, as per usual with the timeless books, have a box of tissues handy! I don’t think there has been one yet that hasn’t brought up such realistic emotions for me. I hope this timeless series continues on for many years to come!

Every Hour Until Then is a complete triumph of a book. The story takes place in two eras. The main character lives in both simultaneously and swaps when she falls asleep. I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy a plot set around Jack the Ripper but this was hugely compelling. In one time Kathryn works hard to uncover the Ripper’s identity and prevent him claiming his last victim, in the other she’s curating an exhibition about this awful crimes.

There are so many things I liked about this story. The top thing is the plot. The two eras weave together seamlessly and create a gripping overarching journey that kept me up until far too late because I had to know the ending. Would Kathryn stop the killer? Which time would she choose to stay in?

Secondly, the research that the author must have done shone through with the astonishing details of the Ripper case. The attention to detail made the story so much more compelling. And finally, the whole timeshiftimg concept is brilliant and the implications of there only being a fifty year gap in the two timelines made me gasp at several points in the story. Something that doesn’t happen often.

I received a copy of Every Hour Until Then from the publisher via NetGalley. The all out fangirling is completely my own.

“There truly was a season for everything, and His timing was perfect.”

I cannot possibly form adequate words to express how deeply I love this Timeless series, and with each new book I grow more in awe of Gabrielle Meyer’s talent for putting fresh twists on the time-crossing theme. I can’t even pick a favorite because they’re each my favorites, but if I had to narrow it down to just one, Every Hour Until Then would be a very strong contender. And my review won’t nearly do it justice – let’s get that out of the way upfront – because there’s a lot I can’t even hint at without spoiling some key plot turns. But trust me… you’ll be on the edge of your seat, fully immersed in this story and all its brilliant twists from beginning to end.

“You’re the greatest adventure of my life.”

Every Hour Until Then follows time-crosser Kathryn back-and-forth between her two simultaneous paths. If you’re not familiar with this series and the time-crosser ‘rules’, when she goes to sleep after midnight in her 1888 life she wakes up in her 1938 life with no time having passed while she was in the other era, and vice versa. She must decide which timeline she’ll remain in by a specific birthday – in Kathryn’s case, by her 25th – and forfeit the other one (and her loved ones there) forever. But if she changes history in one of the timelines, she’ll immediately forfeit that path and possibly the other too. That’s the basics anyway, but like I said Gabrielle Meyer finds a way to keep each story unique and surprising even within these guidelines. And this one is SO GOOD, y’all.

“I had to surrender to God’s plan. I wasn’t sure what it was, or how it would work, but I was at the end of my own abilities.”

One of the things I loved about Every Hour Until Then is that, not only do both timelines involve Kathryn investigating the murders of Jack the Ripper (a true crime mystery that has long piqued my sleuthing interests as well), but Meyer also gives Kathryn a deeply personal reason to be so invested in the case in each path: the life of her sister. And wow. Between that compelling plot point and the agonizingly-swoony-but-also-maybe-heartbreaking romance storyline, I was SO tempted to skip ahead and read the end to find out how it all turned out. I hardly ever do that because I love experiencing the discovery as the author intended it to unfold… and I behaved myself this time too… but ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I thought my heart was going to just explode from the need for it all to be okay. As the book reached its brilliantly-written conclusion though, I was reminded of what I should have held fast all along – that this author can be trusted to deliver a beautifully perfect ending, no matter whether it’s what I initially hoped or not. And, more importantly, I was reminded how the Author of my story can always be trusted to do the same.

Bottom Line: Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer drew me immediately into this compelling story and kept me riveted until the very last word. The ‘Jack the Ripper’ theme adds an element of mystery and suspense to the already fascinating time-crossing layers, and the fact that Kathryn’s two paths are only fifty years apart provided further intriguing considerations that aren’t possible in the other books. I was so immersed and invested in the theories, in Kathryn’s impossible choices and complicated emotions, in the KISSES, in the twists that I couldn’t have stopped reading if my life had depended on it. I highly recommend that you stop what you’re doing and read every book in this series right now because they’re all so amazingly plotted with such touching faith threads too. And the little embedded hints I may have discovered for the next book have me already impatient for November. I am obsessed with this series, and Every Hour Until Then is another truly remarkable story that’s impossible to put down!

Wow! The Timeless series by Gabrielle Meyer continues to completely surpass my every expectation. Every Hour Until Then truly keeps readers spellbound from the beginning to end on a haunting mystery between two vastly different time periods. I thoroughly enjoyed the close and intertwined historic times in this book, that of Victorian England and Washington DC on the verge of World War II. Ms. Meyer has a knack for bringing history to life in a very immersive and intriguing way. Her characters are developed well and demonstrate admirable character traits and growth throughout the book. There are always surprises and adventures throughout this series, but this particular story was so special to me because of the focus on others and sacrificing for others. I appreciated the sweet love story, adventure, history, intrigue, and complexity of the plot. I honestly was impressed by the gripping and chilling effect of Every Hour Until Then. What an amazing story!

Kathryn has been gifted with the ability to live simultaneously in two different eras (until her twenty-fifth birthday), both full of difficulties, mysteries, and much danger. In her 1938 life, Kathryn is a guest curator for the London Museum's exhibit for Jack the Ripper. Kathryn's interest in this particular history is due to her other path in 1888, which is during the actual time of that killer's crimes. As Kathryn delves into the history, she is shocked to discover that her sister in 1888 is Jack the Ripper's last victim.
Ms. Meyer brings her characters through many troubles and sorrows, and Every Hour Until Then is no exception. Kathryn must try to track down and unmask the cruel killer, Jack the Ripper before her sister becomes one of his victims. Helping Kathryn in 1888 is her childhood friend and somewhat reclusive neighbor Austin. As both get closer and closer to the truth in a murky mess, Kathryn realizes that she has a choice to make. Can Kathryn save her sister from Jack the Ripper and forfeit her life in 1888 and leave behind the man she loves? Kathryn's choices bring consequences beyond what she even expected. Can Kathryn save her sister? Will she be able to find the killer's identity in time? Read Every Hour Until Then to find out for yourself! I highly recommend it! Happy readings!

Another captivating time crossing story that I could not put down. “There was a web of secrets, power, and illusions casting its shadow on 1888 and 1938.”
Kathryn is set to make a decision about which time she wants to live in. She thinks she has already made up her mind. But things change when she sets out to save her sister from certain peril. “Sometimes, plans need to be flexible to see what God wants for us.” She learns to be open to what God wants and not assert her own will.
This story fed my history-loving heart. What a privilege for Kathryn, to work at the Smithsonian, and travel to London to work on a special exhibit. But shock comes when she researches Jack the Ripper. She is astounded by the connections she discovers between her timelines. She also must be very careful to make sure that she does not change history or encounter someone she might know, since there are only 50 years separating her timelines. “The truth can set us free, but it can also put us in danger.”
I loved all the historical detail of both time periods, and how the author deftly wove the timelines together. The premise of a time crosser is unique and interesting, and the settings and characters or totally believable.
The romance tugged at the heart and showed a strong hero with solid, godly principles.
This story may be my favorite of Miss Meyer -till the next one comes out.

4.5 enthusiastic stars!

Kathryn is living two lives, fifty years apart. In 1888, she has the love of her life: Austen. In 1938, she has her dream career working as a curator at the Smithsonian. But her two world are about to converge. She's just discovered while setting up the "Jack the Ripper" exhibit in 1938, that his final victim is her sister in 1888! Kathryn has a choice to make: save her sister and give up that timeline and the love of her life, or let history take its course. What follows is an EPIC tale about a race against time against a serial killer and an impending World War. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and get ready to read until you're on the last page!

I was NOT prepared for this story at all!! I'm an avid romance reader, and this book brings the romance, but as a beautiful complement to the action and suspense, which takes center stage on practically every page. I not only perpetually NEEDED to know what was going to happen, but also continually asked myself what I would do, given these choices. Meyer doesn't shy away from hard topics, difficult choices, or ugly events in history, and the story is better for it.

This was my first read in the Timeless series, and I would have liked more exposition for a smoother entry into the novel. This, ultimately, I should just blame myself for, as the author herself recommends reading the series in order, and I started on book five. 🤦🏻 So I can agree that it's probably best to read in order, but, as a newcomer, I still thoroughly enjoyed this page-turner. Meyer is a gifted storyteller in terms of relating history, creating sweet romantic moments, and conveying tender moments, even if her prose isn't as flowery as many contemporary romance authors of today. Additionally, this is Christian fiction, which I think was handled well for Christians and non-Christians alike. There are passages containing questions about God's will and loving one's neighbor, which are embedded in the plot to the point that it adds a cultural/spiritual flavor without, I believe, alienating readers who don't share the author's beliefs.

I'm eager to read more of this author! Her passion for history and ability to weave an intricate story with incredible plot twists makes her someone I'm eager to read again!!

Trigger warnings: descriptions of gore, descriptions of crime scenes, sister being killed, references to the beginning of WWII, Hitler, crimes against the Jewish peoples

I'd like to thank Bethany House and Netgalley for the eARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
