⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes, with some misgivings, but the fast-moving, nail-biting plot drew me in regardless.

Connor’s cat is missing and it’s messing with his head a bit while he is on a mission to rescue a teammate. In reality, Kat is a witch who was cursed four years ago and spends most of her time in the form of a cat. She had gone into hiding to go through a long and painful transformation and when she returns to the SWAT headquarters, she finds Connor is still gone. Kat goes to rescue him and his teammates and they are plunged into a frantic mission to stop the power-hungry warlock that had cursed Kat.

MY THOUGHTS

I always suspected there was more to Kat than just being a cat, but I never expected a witch. This adds another exciting supernatural element to the series that wasn’t there before. Kat has had to deal with so much pain and uncertainty, but none of that ever got her down. Connor is super sweet and protective, and he rapidly recovered from the shock of discovering his cat is a woman. They were wonderful together, even though their relationship started out a bit lopsided. Kat already knew a lot about Conner, whereas he had to catch up.

The confrontations with Marko and his coven were tense and increased in intensity with every new encounter. It culminated in a nerve-wracking climax that was over maybe a bit too soon. They bet everything on the hope that Kat would know what to do at the right time. I wasn’t quite convinced, especially considering that Kat hadn’t done a lot of magic in quite some time. She did have magic moments, which were impressive, but there was no progression in her abilities and also no indication that she was able to do great magic in the past. For me, there wasn’t enough to base all that hope on that she can vanquish Marko.

All that said, I enjoyed reading Connor and Kat’s story and having the witches introduced. I can recommend this entire series if you like super hot werewolves, a variety of other paranormals, and steamy romance.
