Thank you to NetGalley, Ringtail Press, & Melissa Erin Jackson for sending me a free ARC copy of Pawsitively Poisonous in exchange for an honest review.

Pawsitively Poisonous is a delightful cozy mystery with paranormal elements that is perfect for a light, clean summer read. It’s an enjoyable, quick read with humor that was right up my alley. The characters & the town of Edgehill quickly grew on me, & the magic system Jackson introduced was new, but well thought out & I enjoyed its provisions & consequences.

One of my favorite elements was the cat-themed influences in the town. From the Purrcolate coffee shop to the cat breed street names, I found everything clever (& usually pretty humorous). I do wish that Amber’s two cats (appropriately named Tom Cat & Alley Cat) had played a larger part in the story & acted less like ordinary house cats.

At the beginning of the novel, I had no idea who the murderer was & I enjoyed how Jackson cast reasonable suspicions on multiple characters. I’m looking forward in future books to meeting more characters and spending time with the rest of the cast Jackson has introduced.

Thank you again to NetGalley and Ringtail Press for the privilege of reviewing an ARC.
