A circus runaway-turned-bouncer, she believes in hard work, self-defense, and good strong coffee. Then one day an annoying theoretical physicist named Dave pops into the seat next to her at her least favorite Kansas City bar and disappears into thin air when she punches him (he totally deserved it). Now, street names are changing, Skid's favorite muffins are swapping frosting flavors, Dave keeps reappearing in odd places like the old Sanderson murder house�??and that's only the start of her problems. Something in the world has gone wrong. Terribly wrong. Absolutely &#$&ed up. Someone has the nastiest versions of every conceivable reality at their fingertips, and they're not afraid to smash them together. With the help of a smooth-talking haunted house owner and a linebacker-sized Dungeons and Dragons-loving baker, Skid and Dave set out to save the world from whatever scientific experiment has sent them all dimension-hopping against their will. It probably means the world is screwed.*… (more)

I'm always ready to read a book about time travel. It's been my favorite genre since childhood. This book has a great synopsis. And Klingons, Orcs, dinosaurs and a giant praying mantis that used to be something else. I actually can't get that scene with the praying mantis out of my head! There is action, tight situations and humor. Anything you could ever want from a time travel book. The Miller waves were a great invention by the way.
I did get a little confused occasionally. I had some difficulty keeping track with the timeline. And the reason the time machine was built was somewhat hazy. All in all this is a very good read. I listened to the audio book and the narrator was awesome.
Thank you NetGalley and CamCat Publishing for a copy of this book. (

The middle part seemed to go back and forth a little longer than I would have liked, but I love all the pop culture references and the ending. A good quick read. (
