This was a cute and fun adventure story. I will say that as there was no mention of it being a first book, I was hoping it would be a standalone, but it's clearly the start of a series. I'm looking forward to more, though.

Saw this kids book and picked it up out of a combination of boredom and curiousity - it had cats, after all!

It was cute. Perfect to read to younger kids (or have them read to you) and the cats were precious!

Interesting enough, but it's definitely a product of it's time.

I don't know how I feel about this conclusion. It was interesting, somewhat complex, and a little confusing at times. Overall, it felt right. Up until the very very end. I'm torn on that ending.

My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:

3.5 out of 5.0 stars

The very worst thing about this book is that it actually gets boring. :-/ The next time I read this, I’m going to make sure that I space all the stories out a bit instead of one immediately after another. They’re all interesting stories, but there are just so many of them that I got tired of hearing about vampires that were just slightly different from the traditional stereotype… *sigh* This was the first time I’ve read a short story collection with a specific topic and not just a specific genre or world. I wasn’t prepared for the vampire overload and I think that was my only issue with this anthology.

The very best thing about this book is how creative some of the stories are. Honestly, because of that worst thing I mentioned, they tended to run together in my mind, but some of them were truly interesting and I will be rereading these stories in the future.
