Review: Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor


Details:

Title: Just One Damned Thing After Another
Author: Jodi Taylor
Publisher: Accent Press
ISBN 13: 978-1910939529

Synopsis:
At St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, the historians don’t just study the past, they revisit it. Behind the strait-laced façade of a conventional academic institution, the secret of time travel is being used for ground-breaking and daring historical research taking the historians on a rollercoaster ride through history: from the destruction of Pompeii to the Normandy trenches; from the Great Fire of London to Bronze Age Troy and even to the time of the dinosaurs… Meanwhile, within at St Mary’s itself, there are power struggles and intrigues worthy of a book in themselves. In this story, we follow new recruit Max as she rides the catastrophe curve from eleventh-century London to the First World War, and from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria. For wherever Historians go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake ...

For the whole of February (1st to 29th) I am going to be taking part in Februwitchy hosted by the lovely Asha over on Twitter.

I will leave a link to Asha's twitter post explaining it all here which is also where you can sign up.

Basically any book counts if it has witch in the title or the main character is a witch (not just magical but specifically called a witch)

Without further ado onto my TBR...
