If he can close one last sale in the next 24 hours, he gets his own vacation package, the best of them all, a real career topper: the platinum-level vacation package of his dreams. Too bad the secret science Heller uses to jump timelines is just whacky magic dreamed up by a bored deity. Heller doesn’t know it, but his company, his product—his entire career—is a divine prank. When all the tech explodes in a speed yoga accident, the whole shebang goes into ground-hog mode.

Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Haunting. Scary. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable." -mmmurdoog "What you will find in this book is that monsters are real, but just who the monsters really are, now that may be a different story." -Crystal Crossings [VINE VOICE] "This book was a little Tam-lin, a touch Carnival Row, with a bit of Illuminati thrown in for good measure. I loved the way that your expectations are being subverted and the faerie myths are blended into this Dickenson story." - Backlash "This was a very different book. Every time you think you have a handle on it the situation changes. The very ending leave you dangling. Masterfully done." -MoneyMan "If you like stories about fantasy and in this book it's fairies. But these fantasy fairies aren't cute and pretty. They are monsters but you have to watch who is and who aren't!" -Marilyn Smith, [VINE VOICE] "Well, our hero KNOWS better. Kal has the Sight, and a younger sister to care for, so he must be doubly cautious. A delightfully steampunk-ish urban fantasy set in a Victorian-era "New London" -Haunted Reader "Our hero has a rule: don't talk to fairies. But when his sister is kidnapped, he must work with one. He just knows this isn't going to end well. This story is an interesting blend of urban fantasy and steampunk, which gives it a rich setting with lots of gritty details. The story is well written and I found the scenes to be very detailed, helping to make each place real in my mind. There was also a diverse cast of characters adding their particular flavors to the scenes. This was definitely not a light and fluffy story as many of the scenes were positively dark, both in description and actions. Nevertheless, I found the story to be engaging and was drawn in, anxious to see what came next. Overall, an entertaining read and I am curious to see where it goes next." -Doug Williamson
