About this eBook

A frog, a cat, and a hobgoblin walk into a bar…in the Jurassic period. Nope…not kidding. Okay, maybe it wasn’t really a bar. But it was definitely the local drinking establishment. For dinosaurs…

My old mentor, Alice Parker is back, and she’s brought a problem with her. A big one. One that’s already testing the sprite’s ability to keep it in lettuce and strawberries.

It turns out that Alice has been on the run for a minute, trying to protect a magical tortoise from a dangerous sorceress who wants it for herself. You might be wondering why anybody would want to steal a tortoise. Well, if you had the chance to travel through time at the push of a button, or rather the press of a turtle’s shell, would you take it?

Yeah, me neither. I have enough trouble dealing with this time and world… But clearly, we aren’t all diabolical magic users bent on our own empowerment. I mean, the possibilities for evil are unending if one can time-hop at will.

Luckily, I have two cats, two frogs, and a hobgoblin to help me stave off the latest crisis. The only question is…what am I going to do with a former KoA who was as ineffectual at the Keeper’s job as the goddess’s torn pantyhose are at holding water. The only thing she’d been worse at was training me!

And, more importantly, now that she’s here…how am I going to get rid of her?

Holy turtle trousers, this Keeper gig gets more challenging by the day…or the millennia!

Ratings and reviews

Once you start reading it you can't put it down. It is full of twists and turns from start to finish. There are demons wraiths sorceresses among other magical creatures. That's just a hint at what you will run into in this book. I loved it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Naida world is changing. Her old mentor Alice has come back with a magical artifact. Naida and others end up back in time. Naida is not sure what is going to happen next. They are rescued by a woman that says she needs the magical artifact. Once they get back, Grym is pulled into the magical fight with Naida. Naida will also learn more about her past. She will learn more than she thought. This was a really good book, there is action, magical fights, the adventures. The slow build up of her relationship with Grym. Her learning more about her past, what it will mean for her. I can't wait for the next book.

Paranormal Adventure Episode This is the tenth book in a very exciting series. Each book can stand alone, but the reader will have a much richer experience when reading the books in order. In this episode, the group gets into some serious stuff with a time-traveling magic tortoise. All of our favorite characters are there and we are introduced to several more. This is a great and action-filled episode that opens a new dimension to the series. I received this ARC book for free from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
