Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Emerson Foshay finds a cat one night and takes him home. This is a special cat. He can think, understand humans and even control their thoughts at times. He has had three owners. Owner number two was his favorite so far. He is waiting to see if Emerson could be his forever owner.

Emerson has a crush on Lola. She is the daughter of a well-known local musician. She comes into the guitar shop to pick up her father’s guitars periodically. Emerson gets so tongue tied that he can never talk to her. Lola thinks he is a jerk as a result.

The day after he finds the cat, he ends up bringing him to work. That same day Lola stops by to pick up one of her father’s guitars. Emerson is shocked when he is able to talk to her. She invites him to hear her band play. He decides to take a chance and go. That night he realizes that he panics unless Sam the cat is with him. He has found himself a lucky cat. However when it comes to Lola, he can’t continue to use Sam as a crutch. He has to get over his panic of talking to her.

Lola doesn’t know what to think of Emerson. He seems to have two sides: the jerk and the sweet guy. She doesn’t trust her own judgment after her last relationship. She has no clue whether Emerson is genuine or playing her.

This is the second book in the cat tattoo series I have read. It starts with Melody who is Lola’s sister. These books are fast reads and the cats are very entertaining. I felt sorry for Emerson. His shyness was such an obstacle to get over. I’m glad Lola had enough sense to eventually see through it.

This book had an interesting story, but I couldn’t get completely caught up in it. It may have been too short and I didn’t have enough time to become fully invested in the characters. I would give it a 3 out of 5.
