Witchy Whiskers

Nine Lives Magic Series, Book 1

By: Danielle Garrett

Narrated by: Amanda Ronconi

Have you ever wished your cat could talk to you? If so, allow my story to be your cautionary tale.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails.

Then Selene showed up.

According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy 10-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves - although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true.

Almost positive.

I'm still looking into the magical fine print, but in the meantime I'm stuck as the guardian to a cat with the personality of Sophia from the Golden Girls. Oh, and by another cruel twist of fate, my ex-husband just moved back into town. I thought I couldn't take any more, but when a murder rocks my small community, I wind up entangled in the investigation thanks to a handsome stranger.

If only life came equipped with a rewind button.

Needs editing

The story is pleasant, the characters are cute, but the author should have her work edited. Phrases like “found a parking lot in the small lot” and “it was heavy, even ponderous” are frequent and irritating, and so easy to avoid by using a good editor! I will never understand how a publisher will pay all this money to a voice talent before having the novel edited properly. Not that I’m offering my services (wink wink), but I would enjoy helping make these cute novels even more enjoyable.

That was very fun and funny.

I really enjoyed this book. The story was very involved with a lot of things going on. It kept the story moving so it was hard to stop listening. The narration was really very well done.

Fun

I enjoyed this book very much! It’s a fun ‘read’ with some giggles, and a couple of sharp intakes of breaths… Its an engaging story which kept my attention.

So great. Easy read.

There’s something kind of special about this book. It’s almost soothing in a way. And the main character’s candle shop I can picture it and smell it exactly. That’s writing talent.

I loved it!

This is the first book I have listened to by Danielle but I’m hooked, this is my kind of books. And Amanda is always a great Narrator whenever I see she is the Narrator I know I will like the book.
