Cats Never Fly by Lori Ames
3.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

Behind me, Simon purred. The kitty cat liked what he saw. Then he abruptly stopped, coughing as if to cover up his reaction. But it was too late, I’d already heard.

This was mostly cute but not my favorite in the series. I have been in a rough reading slump too so I’m sure that affected my enjoyment, but I felt the story dragged/was boring. I didn’t feel like either character was very clear.

We got a few moments with the MCs in their shifted form eventually, but I did get a little frustrated with the lack of time spent shifted.

I am still excited about the next book in the series and I enjoy the found family and small town vibes. The writing is good too. I just think I need some more angst and things happening at the moment.

I’d hyperventilated so severely the paramedics rushed over, put a paper bag over my mouth, and told me to breathe slowly. For the record, holding a paper bag over a dragon’s mouth when they’re upset is a shitty plan, because then there was a fire to deal with on top of everything else.

“I don’t have a bubble butt.” “Of course, you do, and it is extremely biteable.” I snapped my teeth at him. His cheeks darkened. “Is that why I have a bruise on my bum today? Every time I sat down, I felt it.” I grinned at him. “I bet you thought of me every time.” “I think about you all the time anyway,” he muttered.
