Across Space & Time by Kit Barries

My review

With the power of the Magic Shop Spring-Heeled, Jack is able to land in London to find his soul mate Hugh. Hugh is a constable who also happens to be gay in the era that is a crime. When coming upon the brutal murder of a male prostitute he vows he will do anything and everything to bring his killer to justice. On this journey, he meets Spring-Heeled Jack, the legend everyone believes is terrorizing London.

These two may be what seems on opposites' sides, but soon Hugh learns he is his other half. Together, they uncover who truly is terrorizing London. It's a truly fun story that gripes you from the start and has you guessing who is behind these brutal muders.

Book overview

A monster stalks London’s streets, but is he friend or foe?

Hugh Danbury knows there are monsters in the world; being a constable with London’s police has shown him that. When young homosexual men are found murdered, no one cares enough to investigate except Hugh, who has had to hide his own proclivities toward men in conservative Victorian society. In addition, there are sightings of an ephemeral creature people are calling Spring-Heeled Jack. Is this who has been committing these atrocities?

Upon confronting the mysterious Jack, Hugh learns that sometimes love can be found across space and time and that fate can bring two people together for a reason. But he also learns that there is one thing that can tear love apart: death. And it's coming for him.

Across Space and Time is a standalone MM gaslamp-mystery romance novel as part of the multi-author collaboration Tales from the Tarot. This book is based on the major arcana card The Lovers.
