Title: The Ripper (Next Life, #2)
Description: In Whitechapel 1888, death was abound. The devilish Jack the Ripper haunted the streets like a spectre while mutilating his victims. But who is this man, if even a man at all? The theories given tell of a barber, a doctor, and a prince. Those couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s time to set the record straight, and reveal the origin of the troubled Jack—both from his eyes, and those among him.

The riveting quest of Jack and his most beloved friend John is now shown to all as the tales of those they damned at the request of the goddess Fate, and those they saved at no one’s behest, comes to light. This is a story of loss, demons, witches, and the torment of one man by the puppeteering hands of a very stingy individual named Old Nick.
Ahead is a look into the real Ripper’s story from his eyes and those among him. The riveting story of Jack and his most beloved friend, John, along with those they saved, and those they damned at the request of the goddess, Fate, finally comes to light. This is a story of loss, demons, witches, and the tormenting of one man by the puppeteering hands of one very stingy individual named old Nick.
