Let's get the obvious out of the way first. Unfortunately this book should have gone through a more rigorous editing process. It felt like I was reading a rough draft of a manuscript. Most of the time I hate mentioning this sort of thing, but proofreading errors were so prevalent through the whole book that they were hard to miss. And yes, it detracted from the story. I would be reading along and then words would be left out and I'd stumble and would be brought out of the story. And that is all I'm going to say about that.
As for the story itself, I enjoyed it very much. I liked the characters. The main character, Kinley, was likable and eventually matured and developed a stronger backbone. There were several characters that I thought could be the "bad guy" or that I wished were the bad guy! Was I surprised at who the bad guy turned out to be? Not a bit! That didn't make me enjoy the story any less though. I was excited to get to the end to see how everything resolved. I loved the interaction the main character had with all of the cats, especially Marmalade. The cat sanctuary was based on the author's cat rescue efforts and the proceeds of the sale of her book goes to maintaining care for the cats. I love that objective and was happy to contribute to that. This is book one of a series that I hope will continue to benefit her cat rescue operation.
