Story
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.

Story
Ringo Devereux knows far too much for a man of his times. There's no simple explanation for it that doesn't involve improbable conversations about the future, and Ringo's advanced understanding of three-phase generators and the secret histories of his city are not things he can discuss with the Victorian Londoners around him. Even his origins as an orphaned street thief are far too dangerous for a young gentleman of means to reveal. An encounter with a 10-year-old pickpocket, and a luncheon with Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle draw Ringo back into the shadows of his criminal past.

Some people are ordained for greatness. Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without.

He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

Two years later, I'm still on the run in Kodiak, Alaska.

Summary
Seventeen-year-old Clocker Saira Elian is back on the run and being hunted by Mongers. The Descendants of War are amassing power in the 21st century, bent on controlling all the Immortal Descendants. Their attempt to kidnap Saira, a rare Descendant of Time and Nature, reveals just how brazen they've become. Archer, the vampire who has loved Saira for over a century, is willing to risk everything to protect her. When a horrific vision reveals Ringo, thief and loyal companion from 1888, being tortured at the hands of the bloodthirsty Bishop Wilder in a Renaissance prison, Saira and Archer realize there has been a ripple in the river of Time, and they must travel to 1554 to find its source and save their friend. Their rescue mission lures them to the Tower of London, site of the most notorious executions in history, where they encounter the mysterious Lady Elizabeth, who is confronting a terrible fate of her own. The time traveler, the vampire, and the thief will need all of their skills and ingenuity as they race against time to steal a document that could change the course of history and put the Immortal Descendants at the mercy of the Mongers. Can they stop a madman bent on collecting the blood of history's most powerful Seer before the executioner's ax falls?

Original narrator was much better
I cannot fathom why the author and/or publisher decided to have a British narrator read a book written from the perspective of an American teenager from California. Even more confusing is why she would read that character in her British accent instead of using an American one. The first narrator did a great job, and this book lost a lot of the power of the first one due to this curious and distracting choice. This audio also picks up quite a lot of unpleasant sounds from the narrator--such as loud swallowing--that detract from the narration. If there is a third book, I hope it's read by the original narrator, or at least someone who can do an American accent.
The story is almost as engrossing as the first volume, and it's well worth a credit if you can tolerate the narration issues.

Bad Narrator
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Having the same narrator as the first book- it's easier to make a connection that way.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator didn't differentiate between characters that well. Also had weird pauses in the reading.Her accent was inappropriate for the main character of the book.

Fairly Good story - terrible narrator
Why in the world would a book told from the perspective of an American teen be read by a narrator using a Brit accent ?
The narrator for the first book was excellent - why they changed is beyond me.
For the story itself , It was annoying that the teen American heroine was that clueless as to her modern terminology was not appropriate to use when speaking with those from another age in the past ?

Great YA novel packed with constant action
I love this series, there is never a dull moment! if you are into shifters, vampires, premonitions and time travel then this one is for you!
one note about the narrator: she has a nice voice but I was a bit bothered by constant swallowing. But I'm one of those people who gets really irritated :)

Book 2 almost returned
I really like book 1, but in book 2 they changed readers I almost returned because it was hard to tell who was talking. The new reader has an English accent I don't know if the reason they changed readers is because they are in England when the main character who is 17 grew up in America. It is a good story but you need to really pay attention because there is a lot of time jumping, and a lot of characters with different abilities. This one was good but I enjoyed the 1st one more. You be your own judge.

Narrator change from book 1 is disconcerting
The lead character is an American girl cast into a time traveling adventure in England. Book one was read by an American while book 2 is narrated by a British actress. Tough to get the later version due to the switch.

Disappointing
I really enjoyed the first book Marking Time. So I was not happy when I started the second book and the main character all of a sudden had a very heavy English accent! She is American and had only been in England a few months. It was totally unbelievable and annoying. Even using the word "Mum" instead of "Mom." It really killed the book for me. Unfortunately I had already purchased book 3 with book 2, so I'm kind of stuck listening to her voice.
