I really should take advantage of my Prime borrowing membership – I tend to just buy books instead of finding out if they’re available for free with Prime. Not that I begrudge Theresa Weir her $3.99! I’m just happy she’s still writing romance occasionally.
The Girl with the Cat Tattoo by Theresa Weir
(2012, Contemporary) 8/28/12
Grade: 3
Two years after her husband David’s violent death, Melody is still struggling – and her cat Max is ready to find her someone new. Someone who likes cats. When he brings home Joe, everything seems to be going well, but Joe may not be what he seems.
This novella had such great promise! I loved Max and the scenes narrated from his point of view were charming and fun. But the story drifted away from his perspective in the second half, and I found myself a little bored. I just wasn’t that interested in Melody and Joe. It wasn’t a bad book (and I’ll definitely try out the sequel) but it didn’t live up to the promise of the first part of the story.
It’s a good sign when you start looking for information about a sequel before you’ve finished a book, although this one didn’t quite work for me.
