“A really great story!” –GeekyGodmother
Holy cow! I couldn’t be happier with this fabulous review from Canadian book site www.geekygodmother.ca: “The characters are fantastic in what I’m hoping is only the first of a series.

“This book has everything.” –Book Riot
Some book review websites have a definite attitude, and you can either like it or get out of the way. I love that. Book Riot is one of those. Here’s what they said about It Happened One Doomsday: “A reluctant sorceress. Her Kesha-esque shapeshifting warrior BFF. Her wisecracking employee. A hunky mechanic who is being…
