~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usually when you get an anthology there is one or two great stories and the rest you slog through. Not so in this great group. Each one holds its own. Many are prequels or first in a new series; all stand on their own even if they are further into their series (e.g. Black Cat Benefit).
Many of these wonderful authors I have had the pleasure of reading at least one book previously. For some, this was my first and I pray it won’t be my last.
The unifying factor was, as the title suggests, a black cat. Whether a familiar, a shifter, or a furry friend, whether they could talk or not, each was instrumental and sweet…. Or grumpy… as their personality dictated.
Don’t make me pick a favorite. I can’t do it; I enjoyed them all. This book makes me the crazy cat lady claiming all eleven…. Just thankful that I don’t need to have the litter boxes!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
