This is a new author for me though I have other books by her I haven't read yet. I loved the title of the book and the concept. I've read and really enjoyed books with a similar premise so I had high hopes for Just One Damned Thing after Another. It took a few chapters to get into the book but I soon found myself engrossed and didn't want to stop listening. I loved the characters and the way the plot develops as the members of St Mary's learn the true cost of revisiting history. St Mary's don't interfere in the past and just observe but they discover people who travel through history just like them and who are determined to create as much chaos as possible and will kill if necessary. As you can expect, there's plenty of action and rollicking fun.
