Cat Porter Does It Again!
936515
I recently stumbled back into my Cat Porter "Lock & Key" series.  I had read the first tow, then waited patiently for the next installation.  Then, I moved on.  Wow!  I was immediately sucked back in with her third book.  That find, sent me right to this book, Blood & Rust. As a mature, 50+ year old woman, I found this book so realistic.  Tania, the main character, would definitely be someone I would hang out with.  Her background of having an unfulfilled marriage and becoming a  caregiver to her mother is so "right now"! The sub-plot of her "picking" and finding such unique pieces of art was so enthralling.  I found myself doing a little side research!  Butler was every bit of what I find attractive in a man.  Men don't have to be young and fresh to be attractive.  There is definitely something to say about a mature man who is coming to terms with past mistakes. I appreciate Porter's ability to make mature love hot and sexy!  I also appreciate her realistic take on the MC world. If you stumble upon this review, take my advice and start this series from the beginning and read it through, Blood & Rust!

Many twists and turns in this delightful sisters saga! In this series never know what the sisters, Mr. Fitch and the insightful felines will be up to next! Thanks for another great read.

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down. It was great and I loved the way Erin Hunter described the camps and cats. I could see an image in my mind of the ThunderClan camp and territory. I would recommend all lovers of cats to read this series.

Again this is a cat supreme reader that keeps you wanting to finish, yet not wanting it to end. Great cats doing wonderful things in a story that puts you into a place of who you want to side with. A journey that you can get into and wish you were!

This book has tied Carrie Vaughn with Ilona Andrews as my favorite, never dissapoint authors. Kitty agrees to go on a reality show where a big brother type household of supernatural creatures try to convince Conrad, the world's greatest skeptic that there is magic and other creatures out there.  It becomes apparent that this really isn't why they were brought together when one by one they begin to die.  Kitty and the others are stranded in the middle of nowhere and without any means of contact with the outside world.  Who is doing this to them and why?  How can they use their otherly abilities to get out of there?  This book was excellent, every page a turner, and not a word to waste. Ben is absent for much of the book as he has gone to try to will Cormac's good behaviour release from prison.  We do get to meet up with some new characters in the 'house of horrors' as well as see some of the others we have met along the way.  My favorite if the magician from Kitty and the Dead Man's hand, Odysseus Grant.  What Carrie Vaughan has done is removed Kitty from the world we know already and has spiced things up by giving us a change of scenery and some different supporting characters.  Sure we can't wait to get to more of Ben and Cormac, but thats the great thing!  We know that there is more to them to come.  This book is such a strong story with such a different feel that it just reminds us that Vaughan stands out as unique when so many other series are failing due to 'same old, same old' syndrome.  Kitty's series is definitely fresh and in fact this book may be the most exciting yet.  Kitty remains Kitty and reminded me several times in this story why I like her so much.  I smiled many times when Kitty did some crazy, and Kitty-like in the story.  A quick example:  the supernatural group is hiding in the house and they know that they are surrounded by snipers, and Kitty literally jumps out to talk to them. She looks fear in the face, and yet she is so proctective and caring by instinct. And I love every bit of her snark....  This was an A+ tale from an A series and I hope that if you are an urban fantasy fan, you don't hesitate to start this series if you haven't already.  It has grown by leaps and bounds from the first book, "Kitty and the Midnight Hour".

This story has everything, a crazy cat lady, a turkey farmer, a bachelor auction, a mysterious date, and fancy dinners. Who wouldn't want to live here? Well except for the murders. Zoe and Zak don't seem to mind, they might even decide to get married or live together or both. In this story Zoe even makes time to get to know her mom a little better. Can't wait for the next book to see who's romance is progressing, who's being murdered and if it's in the water.

Terrific writing by Shirley Rousseau Murphy, rocking with emotion.  Beautifully crafted and Superb as usual.  I heartily recommend this series of books for cat lovers of all ages.

Anyone who really knows cats will be thrilled in reading these books and comparing the actions and manners of Joe Grey, Kate, Kit, and Dulcie, to those they have known in their lives.  Enjoy the read!

I simply loved CURIOSITY THRILLED THE CAT, the first book in the Magical Cats Mystery series, and I was anticipating that the second book would be just as good. Well I was wrong. SLEIGHT OF PAW was even better!

SLEIGHT OF PAW sees Kathleen, with her two feline cohorts, trying to solve the murder of Agatha Shepherd, retired school teacher. Agatha Shepherd was a nice person, and couldn't possibly have a enemy if the world so who would've wanted to kill her? It's up to Kathleen to find out!

I loved the murder mystery part of this story, mainly because it opened up so many secondary plotlines and the reader learns some back stories on more residents of Mayville. While Kathleen hunts for clues to solve the murder of Agatha, she finds out more about Eric, who runs the cafe, and Old Harry, who is a very fascinating person with an even more interesting past. It all adds up to one fantastic read.

My favorite characters in this series is still Owen and Hercules, Kathleen's cats. After reading SLEIGHT OF PAW I will say I'm a bigger fan of them than I was before. You see Hercules and Owen have some magic to them (one can walk through walls and doors and the other can disappear). The mischief they get up to through their magic abilities make the story even better. From one crazy cat lady to another, Kathleen it is okay to be crazy cat lady. While I was reading the story I kept talking to my own kitties and telling them the antics of Owen and Hercules.

I give SLEIGHT OF PAW a big high five (or high paw!). If you are a fan of mysteries and cats, you need to be reading this series now!

Charlie and Diesel are my favorite amateur male sleuth and cat combo. Charlie is a librarian and Diesel is his Maine Coon cat. Diesel with his chitters and warbles is my favorite fictional cat. He's as much part of the story as the murderer and victim.

In this third book in the series, Charlie's daughter, Laura, is back in Athena to teach at the university. Laura's friend, the obnoxious Connor Lawton, is in town to direct and write a play. However with his obnoxious and rude manners it seems that someone else has a plan for Connor, a deadly one!

Libraries, books, plays and cats! I simply loved File M for Murder. It kept me glued to every single page. Right up until the last page I was glued to my seat trying to figure out what would happen next and how all the pieces clicked together.

With quotes about books and the infamous Hercules Poirot, File M for Murder is definitely among my best cozies of the year! I love this series and I can't wait until the fourth book is released.

Carol White, one of my favorite authors, has done it again  with another 5-star rating for Coffee Breaks, which contains 13 short-stories, plus a novelette.

As always, White writes stories that resonate with her readers and provide the opportunity to either savor each morsel or devoir the entire book in one sitting. But beware  don't begin the book at bedtime  or, like me, you won't be able to stop until youve finished each compelling, slice-of-life tale.

I purchased this book after finishing the free sample offered by Amazon, and continued it into the night  losing sleep but happy nonetheless.

Several stories vowed for my favorite  with Gone Cat ultimately winning out at the end.

oh my gosh.. I absolutely can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
I love this series of books!
Cath, Astrid, Bea, and the cats are all so much fun to read about. The twists and turns in these stories have me staying up all night reading, to find out what's going to happen next.
I'm curious to see how things develop with Cath, Min, and Blake.

Once I started the book, I could not put it down. Cait, Tara and Cody are moving into very interesting areas in their lives. As usual, there are cats that play an instrumental part in the story. Kathi's stories always move me to tears at one point or another in her books and she hit it in the head with the Sebastian , Adeline and Beatrice  storyline.

I won't give away what happens but you will not be disappointed in this book or in this series. Keep up the wonderful writing, Kathi.
