Magnus Pack #3
Here Kitty, Kitty!
What do you do when you’ve got a hillbilly tiger by the tail? Or maybe the question should be: what wouldn’t you do…
Nikolai Vorislav likes his single life just as it is. Simple, relaxing and quiet. What he doesn’t need is some foul-mouthed Texan hellcat living in his house, eating his food, flirting with his idiot brothers and shooting holes in his home with his granddaddy’s gun. But those long legs, dark eyes and lethal tongue are making Nik insane and he fears he may be caught in the sexiest animal trap ever.
Angelina Santiago doesn’t know how she got from Texas to North Carolina in a night or how she ended up in some hillbilly tiger’s house wearing only a sheet. What she does know is that she doesn’t like good ol’ boys with slow, sexy drawls who can’t seem to stop rubbing up against her. Yet in order to protect her friends, Angie has to stay with a cat who seems hellbent on finding all sorts of delicious ways to make her purr.

Here Kitty Kitty was my favorite of the three books in this series. The heroine was kinda crazy and a bit bitchy but she fit right in with Nik's nutty family. Nik is a "hillbilly" tiger shapeshifter (who is also filthy rich) with a crazy backwoods family that includes OEG (One Eyed Grandma), a cousin Cleatus (Cleats for short) and parents who fight like crazy (and love it). The love scenes were hot hot hot! Plus I actually liked the two leads, they fit well together. The background characters were a hoot, we even get some banjo-playing and overalls. Definitely a fun read!

I think I'm done with Ms. Laurenston. I really have a problem with her heroines, who are way too agressive and, well, b!tchy for my "sensitive" taste. They're supposed to be funny, but I don't get it. I guess I keep missing the joke.
Out of the 3 heroines in the Magnus Pack series, I kind of liked Miki in Go Fetch!, but she was toned down in her book. Unfortunately, she was back to "normal" in Here Kitty, Kitty!, so there was nothing to keep me sane while reading this book. Nik, the hero, was nice and, as much as he loved Angie, the heroine, I thought he deserved someone "better". In the end, I actually felt sorry for him, which shows how much I disliked Angie.
As for the story, I found myself skimming big chunks of the book, probably because I didn't care for the characters. I only "suffered" through it because I wanted to know how the wolves and the cats would work their differences out and what would they do about the hyenas. Was it worth it? Meh...

4.5 STARS
I always enjoy this series, but have to say this book is my favourite. Angie like her 2 best friends is fierce, slightly crazy and a tad over the top – but within the framework of the world Laurenston creates it so works. The humour, charm and craziness I’ve come to expect from the author is displayed well in this book.
The banter, snarky humour and chemistry between Angie (human) and Nik (tiger shifter) make this a fun read and re-read.

5 star ratings everywhere! And a 4.30 average rating from over 11,000 people???
I really cannot understand how everyone loved this book when I was once again tempted to create a DNF shelf. Is it because I didn't read the first 2 books? Is it because I completely missed something about Angelina in the previous installments? I have no idea. But even if I did, shouldn't the author show me what I missed? This is Angelina's first book after all. And don't get me started on the insta-love!
Angelina is incredibly immature for her age, so I don't get what Nikolai sees in her. She's hot, but that's all she's got going for her. (Physical attraction ≠ Love)! Angeline's bitchy and annoying for no reason instead of strong, smart, and kick-ass. I thought she would redeem herself later on, but that never happened. I couldn't stand her as soon as I got to know her and that never changed. So instead on futilely investing myself in the characters and romance, I decided to focus on the plot that involved the hyenas instead. But you can't really shut out an MC in a book, so the plot development didn't do anything for me either.

Never one to not have excitement in her life, Angelina Santiago is not quite sure how she has ended up naked in front of a hillbilly tiger, who although gorgeous, is pissing her off to no end with his lust filled eyes.
Nikolai Vorislav is done with humans, even with the most gorgeous woman in front of him, nude with a hint of a tattoo and curves that don't end, she wouldn't be able to handle him. However, Nikolai has never met a more vicious, hot tempered, siren in his life. She won't back down, has a mean arm that packs a powerful punch, and for some reason everyone else wants to get to know her. Nikolai plans to keep her for himself though, even though cats don't commit, he may just rethink it if it means keeping her.
Hilarious, loved it.
***Decided to reread because I had just read Miki's story and forgot a lot about this one. This is better the second time around, Nik is pure yumminess...

4.5 stars.
Read all three of these books in order, one after the other.
Loved them all but this last one was my favorite. It also finished with a beautiful epilogue that tied them all together.
From the moment I started reading the first book in this series I was obsessed and couldn't stop until I finished the very last book.
Fabulous new author for me. These sexy paranormal romances were the "bomb". I loved the snarky humor, all the "smokin-hot" sexiness and the stories were so amazingly funny and entertaining.
Love this woman's writing style, so very witty and the way her stories unfold- they captured my interest immediately.
Was lucky to pick these up on KU as the only downside to this author's books are how expensive they are on kindle,some of them as much as $9.99 and I personally find that price a little too steep for an e-book.🐾

This series, what can I say about these books? "They're GRRRRRREAT!" Sorry, I couldn't resist...this is my first book featuring shifer tigers and I am ready for more!
As stated in previous reviews on books in this series, one of the reasons I love this series is because the heriones are tough and don't take any crap from anyone...their friends, family or their men. Love a spitfire heroine who is also funny--keeps those alpha males on their toes!
I am hopeful that she continues this series b/c I would love to see the tiger brothers get their HEA.

Funny and hot shifter story..I enjoyed reading it ;)
This one is about the last of the crazy bitches, Angie. I liked this one better then the previous book, but I have to admit....I was still a bit confused, because I haven't read book 1. I would advise not to read these as a stand alone !!
What I liked best about this one, is the fact that we have a cat shifter. Oh how I love feline shifters !!
Angie was oke, these heroines are all a bit ott and crazy, but at least they are no doormats, and I like my heroines to be feisty smartasses ;)
The hero was totally alpha goodness...yum. The steam was hot, but it did take a bit longer to get there then book 2, but since the storyline was better, I didn't mind one bit !!
4 stars from me and maybe I'll read book 1 in the future. Just don't care for Sarah all that much :)

I have a new book obsession and it is tiger shifters!! Dang this book was good.
Technically this was the last in the series, except for two short stories that really aren't part of the Magnus Pack, it starts right where the last left off only with Angie instead. A week after meeting the hot guy in the airport and having his brothers come in her store every day, she's attacked leaving and then wakes up in a unknown room with a tiger in it. Turns out his brothers have kidnapped her and brought her to their hot brothers house. Angie and Nic don't exactly get along at first, ha who am I kidding, with everything between toliet lids and baseballs being used as weapons and a shotgun shot through a door, Angie made her presence known but before long Nic and Angie can't fight the pull they have toward each other any longer.
"This was not some big kitty she could lead around by his cock. This one was a big, mean, woman-eating tiger. And she'd do well to keep her legs closed and her body off-limits."
"And, Sugar, if you're gonna sit out on that balcony at night, half naked, smellin' so sweet and sighing like you just had the best f@ck of your life, then you might as well put a leash around my neck and call me yours."
Things get pretty heated after hardly anytime, but things seem to keep interrupting them. For one Nic, he knows he wants it different with her, but Angie makes that a little hard to remember. Both are convinced it will be just a fling but the more time they spend together both start to wonder if they will be able to let the other go.
This book was amazing. I've always had a thing for shifter books, but as far as I can remember I've only ever read wolf shifters. Let me just say this Tiger was scorching hot. Something about the way he stretched all around like a cat on everything and jumped up to her balcony, just really did it for me. These two were scorching hot together. Of course, all of the hilarious girls were back and did not disappoint. I laughed so hard at several parts of the book. The only reason I gave this one 4 instead of 5 stars was at the end it left me wanting a little bit more. Not that it didn't tie up well, because it did, I just wish the epilogue would have included a little more than it did. Not a big deal, because I tend to want more from books all the time, so it's probably more me than anything else. I loved this series, it's characters, and everything that went along with it. :)
Sara smiled. "You always had the best right hook."
"Remember that boxer I dated...he taught me that...and not to use my teeth during blow jobs."
Miki locked her gun, shoving it back in its holster, "Well that was information I could have lasted a lifetime never knowing."

3.5*
The female main character is a crazy, hot-tempered, foul-mouthed bitch and so are her best friends. It was hilarious. This author is growing on me. I'll definitely read more of her books.

I like the way Shelly Laurenston writes love scenes. She has the talent to make me sweat from the heat coming off the pages. The third Magnus Pack book, "Here Kitty, Kitty", is no different. My problem with this one is the heroine...I really, really disliked her.
Angelina doesn't take crap from anybody; she hands it out instead. She's a mixed-descent American with attitude and the ability to kick butt...even when going up against non-humans. As the only full human left in her triad of friends, she's become something of a target for the hyenas looking to hurt the pack. So when she goes down in a fight and wakes up somewhere strange, she's only a little surprised to discover she's not in the 'lion's den'...this den is for tigers only!
Nikolai knew he should never have shown interest in the mouthy broad from the airport. Of course, he never thought his brothers would kidnap her and bring her to his house either. He's knows she'll be trouble, and within 5 minutes of waking up she's knee'd him and cracked a toilet tank lid over his head...guess he was right about the trouble part. So if she's so much trouble, why is he so hot for her?
Smoking hot sex alert. But also, nasty, witchy, heroine alert. She seemed to be nasty just because...and that put my back up (hey! at least I didn't say 'put my fur up', or 'rubbed me the wrong way') from the first. Her interactions were hostile to just about everyone in the book, including her friends! This was something I never got over. And Nikolai, hot as he was, wasn't a very intriguing hero for me either. For someone with animal instincts, it sure took him a long time to recognize his feelings for Angelina. He spent most of his time moaning about his family...just not very Alpha for me.
So even though I disliked the heroine, and the hero too to a certain extent, I still gave this sucker three stars for the smoking hot sex. Because...it's my review and I can!

Angelina Santiago, girly best friend to Miki and Sara, alpha female of the Magnus pack, has been attached by hyena's. And the Vorislav brothers, Bannick and Aleksei kidnap her after saving her. The problem is they didn't tell anyone in the Magnus Pack what they were doing. Nikolai can't stand the woman until he can't stand not touching her. When they give in to their feelings, all hell breaks loose and Angie is kidnapped again. This time by her friends.
Smart talking, sassy women who know how to fight and sexy alpha shifters. what more could you want.
Nothing better than a Shelly Laurenston shape shifter book. So funny and so sexy at the same time. I needed something I knew I would like and got it.

This author is totally hit or miss. This one was a miss.
Oh, the superficiality and consumerism. So off-putting, so un-funny.
Sometimes Laurenston veers too far in her flippant wackiness.
Plus -- and this is just personally -- the romance formula wherein a man loves a woman in spite of and because she's crazy, crass, violent, unkind, insulting, unhinged, distempered, self-indulgent, vain, presumptuous, reactionary and retaliatory no longer works for me.
I get that we don't want Mary Sues but I can't celebrate traits no one would want to have to deal with in a friend or in a partner. Stop telling women you should be loved as you are if you're a terror.

Something about these Magnus Pack books are trashy - mainly the characters. They're all like Sons of Anarchy and Jerry Springer characters. Sure they're oft funny, but I find the whole low class vibe very off putting when I read these books. Not what I look for in a book, if I wanted that, I'd read the Enquirer. The Pride series by this author is much better.

No review necessary. I am a goof ball who should learn to read books in order. While I enjoyed this book I spent the entire time trying to figure out who people were and how they fit into Angelina’s life. I loved Nick and I was rooting for him from the very beginning. Who wouldn’t want a big rich shapeshifter on their team!!! Sign me up please 🥰🤣!

The last full-length book in the Magnus Pack series is about Angelina. You would think she’s the sanest of the three but that is so not the case. I think she may be worse than the other two. She looks so girly and put together, but she’ll smile as she breaks someone’s face with a toilet lid. (yes, this happens).
She’s the one who tries to keep everyone happy and sane, or at least on an even keel. If that means she has to knock some heads together to do it, that’s okay too. Once you get to know her though, you realize under that perfectly dressed and made up exterior is the soul of a redneck woman. She can cuss like a marine sergeant and fights as dirty as she possibly can, utilizing every tool at her disposal, whether it’s a folding chair or a baseball bat. She’s creative that way. She doesn’t really have a lot of respect for men in general thinking there’s not any worth the effort out there, so why in God’s name would she even want to fall in love.
Nik is just an alpha tiger going through life as happy as can be. He’s rich, he’s hot, and he’s got lots of land with dinner on the hoof just waiting for him to chase it down. Tiger’s don’t settle down with anyone, and procreation seems like more of a transaction than anything else (although they do take care of their children and make sure they know they are loved). Unfortunately, his Dad is a freak who only has eyes for one woman, his mother. There is no way Nik would ever settle for one woman. Ever. Well, until Angelina assaults him.
These two fell into insta-lust the first time they ran into each other in an airport. Then they spent an inordinate amount of time fighting it, which was okay because this book is hilarious and their chemistry was so combustible even their arguing was hot. They were both trying to be in control of feelings that were uncontrollable and this worked for me in all sorts of ways because they weren’t in control at all.
Nik’s family is definitely a freak show worthy of a whole lot of laughs. In fact, I really wish there were books on all of them. With some unexpected lion shifters wanting a truce plus those damned Hyenas causing issues this book kept me on my toes. The icing on the cake was it was scorching hot. There were times I swear I saw smoke wafting out of my iPad’s ports.
I hated saying goodbye to Here Kitty, Kitty because it’s hilarious, but SL did give it an epilogue worthy of the series greatness. It’s good that her Pride series is set in this world because every time the Magnus pack is mentioned I find myself fangirling and doing little twirls.
Here Kitty, Kitty was a laugh-filled, action-packed treasure of a book… plus it was hotter than hell. I loved every word of it.

Absolutely Fantastic! Sizzzling HOT Erotica!
Nik and Angie's story was totally AWESOME! I have to say that the first book and this third book were the best in the series because they both had me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off to the point I had tears in my eyes. This was such an enjoyable and fast read.
All these shapeshifters in this series were great and I like how they all came together in a truce in the end. Nothing like having a bunch of hillbillies / pussy's (Lion and Tigers Oh My!)laying around on your porch especially when your a were-wolf - LMAO
Great Read!

I am really enjoying Shelly Laurenston and her red-neck werepeople. I like how each of the were types (lion, bear, tiger, etc) have their own characteristics. This one is one my favorite of the ones I have read. The scene with tiger wooing makes me giggle every time. There are explicit scenes in these books.

If you enjoy paranormal romance and are looking for a summer read I highly recommend this humorous series. Each story has been fun to read. Crazy but strong women and the men who try to claim them-it doesn't get more fun than that. Review to come.

I love this hilarious series... and I want a kitty man now too!

Disclaimer-This review is for a romance novel. This is not Moby Dick so if you are looking for a review of greatness based on that level of reading, this is not the review for you. Now for the book
I just finished reading this book and I must say that although it is better writing than the last one, I still enjoyed the last one better. But, that's only because the heroine in the last one was African American, and I am a little biased (smile). However, Here Kitty Kitty is a good interracial story with a hot tempered Latina. Angelina Santiago is a take no crap fashion diva. Her hero is a gorgeous man with beautiful eyes as a human, and a man eating tiger once he shifts. Their story is funny and sexy. The other thing I like is that he is a Southerner (gotta love his manners), although the southern thing is too overdone for him to be a real southerner (which makes me think the author may be a Yankee. I'll have to research that LOL). It just feels just a tad forced. Initially I felt like I was going to stop reading the series after this story,and, I was only reading this one because I wanted to finish the three friends trilogy. However, there are a couple more stories that I hope are going to be developed. This coupled with the fact that the writing has gotten so much better since the first one, I think I might give at least one more a try. This is a welcome break from Vampire love. If you are reading Go Fetch, don't stop now, keep going to Here Kitty Kitty.
4/5/10-I upgraded the stars because I read this and Go Fetch once again since this review. They are starting to really grow on me LOL

Angelina Santiago, the last of the crazy bitches trio had been kidnapped by tiger shifters. And the woman does not go down fighting!! There were times in this book where I thought that Angelina could be a little crude to Nik and the others. She was a little too impulsive sometimes, acting too standoffish for my liking. Despite being human, Angelina is as catty as they come and she really does all she can do to push Nik away.
But the tiger shifter is patient and soo damn sexy! And he’s just too hard to resist with his Southern Charm and wonderful family. I think Nik might be my favourite out of the Magnus Pack series! He was just perfect! I want that kitty cat all to myself!
One of the best things about this book is Nik’s family. I love them all to bits and I loved reading about their relationships with one another. I thought it really added to the strong relationship between Angie and Nik.
On that note, does Nik’s bro get together with Zach’s baby sister?
And of course, the sex scenes are always HOT! There are too many scenes that come to mind as my favourites. But I think the one with the phone tops it. Nik, you make me melt!
Speaking of gushing....Nik says that Angie is so wet that she’s dripping on his hardwood floor. That’s too much information for me. And someone get her a gush bucket!!! HURRY!

Jetzt auch noch Tiger...
Tendenziell wieder spannend und auch die Idee von Tigershiftern ist eigentlich ganz cool. Aber Angelina ist noch bekloppter als die beiden anderen und das will was heißen. Und Nik ist ein ebensolches Alphahole wie die anderen männlichen MCs in dieser Reihe.
Eine weibliche Hauptfigur vulgär zu machen sowie aggressiv gewalttätig, macht sie nicht "taff", macht sie nicht zu einer starken Frau. Es macht sie vulgär, aggressiv und gewalttätig. Punkt. Die Ausdrucksweise, die auch im Fließtext genutzt wird, stört mich schon extrem und auch die Erotikszenen sind zum Teil einfach nur zum Kotzen. Und ja, die Mädels lieben sich alle. Schon klar. Aber die Weise, wie sie miteinander umgehen, spiegelt das nicht wieder. Da kann so oft da stehen, dass sie alle ganz dicke sind. Gezeigt wird es nicht. (Wenn das witzig sein soll, geht das total an mir vorbei.)
Die Welt, die hier entworfen wurde, hat unfassbares Potential. Die Umsetzung ist aber absolut nix für mich. Wer Interesse an Gestaltwandlersmut hat, der gut und gerne bei Desasterotik auf Twitter landen könnte, sollte hier mal reinlesen.

I have to admit after reading the first book in the series, I wasn't sure if I was going to continue...it was good, but not great, but i'm so glad I did...the second book was better than the first and the third the best in the series. This one finishes up the stories of the trio - Sara, Miki and Angie with Angie getting her HEA with her tiget, Nikolai. I felt sorry for Angie because she felt so out of place with her parents, and yet her interactions with Sara and Miki definately proved that you can have family that are not blood.

After reading the Laurenston's Pride series, I had a hard time with this series because the women were damn near intolerable. I loved Nik, the hero, but Angie is really, really annoying, and reading her character is akin to torture. To top it off, the heroines from the previous two books were even more annoying than they were in their own stories. Still, Laurenston has a way of making you like her writing even when you want to hate it.

This was so much fun to listen to! The narrator did an awesome job with the different accents and voices and the dialogue was hilarious. Angie killed me, she was so headstrong and put men in their place. She swore and fought back when she realized she was kidnapped and was devious. I love the scenes where she's telling women what to wear and what looks terrible on them. Nick was an alpha male tiger shifter, he didn't want to be tied down to one person, but Angie got under his skin.
This book was funny and had some great smut scenes and I highly enjoyed the series!

Another excellent read from SL and one for the keeper shelves. She consistently does HOT, funny stories about shifters. She delivers great characters, witty dialogue and fast paced plots on a consistent basis. I Here Kitty, Kitty she introduces were-tigers, hillbilly talkin' RICH Siberian were-tigers... The heroine is Angie, the last of the troika of friends introduced in Pack Challenge. Miki, Sara, and the Magnus Pack play significant [though frequently off-scene:] roles in the story resolution so it is best if these are read in order. My personal favorite of the the Magnus Pack stories, I'm so glad this one was reissued!

What a fitting end to these three friends. I love all of them, but damn Angelina is entertaining. I loved her kick butt attitude despite being human. She never let those dang shifters intimidate her and you know what, in her case, an anger management issue works in her favor. She's a girly girl at her heart, but she can still kick butt with the best of them, and in high heels to boot. I adored the circles she was running around Nik as he tried to figure out just what he was going to do with the she devil in his midst. Tiger or not, his days were numbered the minute Angelina entered his territory.
I found myself quite amused with all the characters in this one, Nik's brothers were particularly great dumb-witted entertainment. I loved Angelina's take over of the entire female shifter population with her style and never back down presence. All together this was just fun, and of course Sara and Miki were always going to get involved eventually, in all their wonderful craziness. This series would never be as great if the personalities weren't a bit over the top and blood thirsty. So much fun!

It's Angie's turn to get dragged into shapeshifter shenanigans and...she's not one to roll over and let ANYONE walk all over her. Which means, she gives sass and attitude to Nik and his doofus brothers every chance she gets. She doesn't care that the Vorislavs are a family of tigers or that she's outside her own territory. The lady doesn't let anything slow her down.
Meanwhile, Nik is not pleased that his brothers dragged a full-human across state lines and stashed her in his house. He might like pretty much everything about Angie, but he doesn't think a human can keep up with him.
BOY IS HE WRONG. Angie is a firecracker who keeps Nik on his toes. She's a little wild, a lot sexy, and she doesn't show any fear in the face of all the wackiness that's been thrown at her.
Man, do I love these shifters and the humans that capture their attention. They're wicked and wild and a whole lot of fun. *thumbs up*
