You know, I really wasn't certain what I was getting when I purchased this book since none of the booksellers had a blurb telling me what it was about. With that said, Ms. Taylor has given us a fun and exciting story involving magic, curses, bigots, the Irish, Goddesses and a shape-shifting cat!
Kelly's über great grandmother was one of the people cursed...she is the one who cursed Sean. I've never read anything by Ms. Taylor before, and there was a cat involved, so I figured why not? This story has a very good pace, Kelly is a strong heroine, her grandmother rocks and Sean is our hot, cursed, shape-shifter cat. Did I mention he was hot? I enjoyed this story so much I went and purchased two more by Ms. Taylor!
