Review also posted at The Wandering Fangirl.

First off, I really, really like the idea behind White Cat. Magic being prominent and just another thing people do, the idea of curse working and magic blow back, the mystery of it all and a pretty cool con-man protagonist in Cassel Sharpe.

I was just totally not on board as I read, and I have no frigging clue why. I swear, I got to page 200 and realized I didn't know where I was in the plot, what was happening, or why Cassel was doing anything he was. Well no, that's a lie, I got a lot of it, and as the book finished I got that, but in my memory the middle of it is all muddled. I get that the nature of the mystery itself (which -- damn, that was a good twist) led to a bit of an unreliable narrator, but I'm still baffled.

And that's not a bad thing! I'm just gonna sit here and say that what I got out of the book I enjoyed, and I'll be checking out the next in the series, but WTF, self.
