Being a crazy cat lady meant I couldn’t get through my TBR list fast enough to start reading it. I liked the premise and it started out with just the right amount of creep to peak my curiosity. When a cat is killed nine people must die?! Heck yeah! And when she comes after you, there is nowhere to hide.
But I have to say the whole portion where the trouble between Aidan and Jess gets rough could have been left out. I know it was there to make things tougher for them but I didn’t really feel it in the story. Killer cats was enough for me.
Over all this is a good thriller. This is the first book of Vanessa Morgan’s that I have read but I am hooked. I can’t wait to get another one. This is a good thriller to check out, especially if you like or are afraid of cats.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
