Not only is the plot easy to follow whole still complex, but for the first time ever there is a female protagonist who puts her love life in the backseat to things that are obviously more important. I enjoyed all of the characters,even the bad guys.

Here's the set-up:
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 nineteenth 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 to save her, Saira must embrace
her new identity as she hides from Archer a devastating secret about his
future that may cost him his life.
One Reviewer Notes:
This was an EPIC adventure of a book that was written so well as to create a thriving and vivid world that I was completely and utterly immersed into. The supporting characters were well-developed and played key roles in the advancement of the story and I didn't want to stop reading once I started. So much is going on, drama, back history, history, tidbits of mystery that you wish you could figure out. Then there is the love. . .oh my heart. It is so sweet and endearing and just compels you forward wanting to know what will happen with them.
