Jill Nojack’s paranormal romantic comedy went down as easy
as my favorite dessert. I needed to know what happened next but I was sure
sorry to see it end. Tom’s sad plight and Cassie’s discovery of her true
heritage made for a page turning read.
Tom, a man enslaved as a powerful witch’s cat, yearns for
his freedom. As the decades pass, he realizes his captor will never let him go.
Hope is strong medicine though, and he won’t give up, using up many of his nine
lives along the way.
When the witch dies, her granddaughter, Cassie, inherits the entire estate, including the magic shop. Unaware of her grandmother’s hidden talents, Cassie learns there’s a whole lot more to her relative than she ever knew.
Tom and Cassie inherit each other, two lonely souls in
search of love and compassion. Delightful confusion ensues as Tom tries to
leave messages for Cassie containing his release words. Unless he is allowed to
transform back into a man soon, he will forever be Cat. Cassie, it seems, has
inherited much more than her grandmother’s possessions.
I enjoyed the miscues between this pair. Nojack expertly
wove the paranormal and humor threads, darkening with a mystery subplot and
sexual tension. If stories about witches are your thing, you won’t want to miss
this charmer.
