Cat is an intern at the American Museum of Natural History, who only wants to register for the Fall semester and do her job well when the fossils in the museum begin to talk and tell her to take a particular amulet and "Make the thunder lizards dance." And this is the beginning of strange things happening. Several robot companions, a werewolf, a circus performer and descendant of Frankenstein, several Native American tribes, and the expansion of the railroad all come together in this bizarre tale. It is steampunk, historical fantasy, science fantasy, children's fiction, and a good reminder that true friendship and doing the right thing can lead to a happily ever after for everyone.

I received a free copy of the audiobook from Benjamin Fife the narrator who does amazingly fun character voices. I have reviewed it willingly.… (mer)

This was a very quick, exciting read. I've never read anything like this before, so I was really looking forward to this blog tour. It was fast-paced and fresh. It was the perfect book to read during the week after reading some darker books!

I loved the characters in this one. All of them were interesting. I wanted to know more about them, and I enjoyed watching them deal with things and form bonds. It was really intriguing to read about NPC's actually being self-aware; it was a concept I'd never heard of before.

If you're into gaming, especially role-playing games, I highly suggest reading this one! Even if you aren't into gaming, like me, it was easy to keep up with everything going on. I wasn't aware of some of the terms used, but it was still understandable and entertaining.
