Nothing To Fear But Ferrets (Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


This book made me uncomfortable on several levels. It lacks logic (how in the world is a pet-sitter salary paying for that mini-mansion, even temporarily?) and it lacks depth. It's a little weak on ferret facts, too. Ferrets are tricky to keep correctly and her descriptions amount to ferret abuse. The character is shallow and the author makes her judgemental, especially towards anyone who is not skinny. "hefty Tilda...who apparently had added an extra pound for every year of her life" and "her plump face shone with perspiration" and and Lyle "bulging belly beneath his snug shorts." All that just in the first chapter. It doesn't get better.
