What a delightful, fast paced, and fun reading experience.
For a short book it is LOADED with action. My first impression on beginning the book was that I could tell writing comes very easy and natural to the author. The story was put together very well and was a book hard to put down.

I really enjoyed the characters and grew to like them all, even the ones who were on the suspect list. The author did a great job in having the reader feel compassion and feelings for the characters.

Our main character, Cait, living in an island town, has a dog, loves cats, has an adoption rescue center for abandoned kitties needing a forever-home and in addition, wants to start a Cat Cafe Shop, that will allow customers who come in to get a cup of Joe and take a look at the kitties up for adoption at the same time. Though the cats are to be separated from the cafe shop by glass for hygiene issues. Cait is a very likable character. She visits and takes care of her elderly neighbors as well as her Aunt Maggie.

There is no love interest at first but as the book progresses a high school sweetheart comes to town, in addition to that, a man who works at the local bank who is as filling in for his brother catches her eye later on. She has some good choices. Both men are very likable. I look forward to seeing where her choices take her with these guys.

I loved the town, the people, the love possibilities, the cats and this book has made me a big fan of the author, Kathi Daley.

The only thing I felt disappointed in, was that the ending felt a bit rushed. Things happened a little too quickly, when I would like to have known more, heard more about other things but the end came way too fast. I hope future books can be a bit longer. The authors writing skills deserve that. She painted everything so beautifully.

Now its on to book 2, The Mad Catter. I know I am going to love the rest of the books in this series and just hope the author will continue on with incorporating the cats. I am not a dog person per say, so its refreshing to have a book so involved with my feline fur buddies.
I give this book 5 stars, even with a rushed ending.
This book was given to me free for my honest review.
