‘Marking Time’ (The Immortal Descendants #1) by April White

5 time traveling stars!


Book Blurb:

"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."


Review:

Fantastic read!  ‘Marking Time’ has a well-thought out plot, strong character development, fun humor, and its own mysterious mythology.  Readers are thrown into a centuries-old tale right alongside the main character and we get to discover secrets as she does; sometimes before she clearly pieces things together.  Part mystery, part supernatural tale with time travel and just enough YA romance to hit the spot.

‘Marking Time’ and the rest of 'The Immortal Descendants' series are currently part of the Kindle Unlimited program on Amazon, and is the first in a five-book series about Clockers, Seers, Shifters, War Mongers, and Suckers.
