Hallie moves to Paris to reinvent herself, find a new life, and maybe a new love.
She’s off to a fair start, she’s landed a bartending job at a dive called Millie’s and found new friends in the eccentric crew that runs the place. Then, it gets weird. There’s a strange woman who won’t leave her alone. Garbled warnings from bizarre creatures disrupt her sleep. She keeps running into a man with a charming smile—a man she should probably steer clear of. And she can’t stop falling back in time in Millie’s keg room.
Soon, Hallie is caught up in something much bigger than herself—a project that this mystery man needs her to join. But with every trip through time, Hallie loses a little of herself, and each infinitesimal change she makes ripples through Paris, until the future she’s trying to save suddenly looks nothing like what she hoped for…

Review :
"As well as being a profound mediation on history and the need to defend democracy, Paris Adrift is also a gorgeous evocation of youth and growing up... a celebration of that particular moment in our lives, when we feel those connections all the more strongly because we know on some level they will come to an end." -- Fantasy Faction
"Paris Adrift is a different type of time travel book, one I hope to see more of, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Paris, the fear for the future, and traveling into the unknown. Be sure to check out the other stops on the tour!" -- Utopia State of Mind
"Paris Adrift is a really cool book. It's Skins meet time travel." -- British Fantasy Society
"A glittering novel of time travel that you'll want to devour like a mille-feuille in one single bite. I loved it."
"A very enjoyable read." -- Fortean Times
