Publisher Description

Just one kiss to break the spell... that's all she needs.

Cursed by a jealous witch, Penelope Delacroix's spells are all going wrong and backfiring, creating havoc in town.

The vengeful witch won't quit until she siphons all of Penelope's powers.

And all it will take is one perfect, heartfelt kiss from Penelope's one true love to put an end to all this turmoil.

Shh... there's a problem. It's a secret.

Penelope has no idea that Dr. Lucas Collier, the compassionate local veterinarian, is in love with her. Nor does he know that she's in love with him.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

But I know and I have to do something about it.

But what can I do, since I'm only her cat.

What?

Every witch has a cat.

I'm hers.

I'm Talisman.

And I'm going to fix this.

PearlPlunder ,

.... weird narration.

The focus of some of the description comes across skeevy - as if the cat who narrates the story is perpetually horny for the female characters within the story. It’s unsettling. (Eg. The cat describes “long, magical fingers that caress my tummy with exquisite precision” - I get that cats like being stroked but that’s a bit weird, right? Especially after the cat goes out of his way to describe an old woman’s huge breasts and the way said old woman pushes her “huge thighs” together when she gets annoyed)
The cat also describes how his (female) owner always shuts down the (male) vet when he tries to flirt with her, and how the cat can’t work out how to persuade his owner that she should go out with the vet, when all mention of the vet up to that point has been about how his owner is obviously not interested. This is all in the first chapter by the way. It just feels creepy, as if it doesn’t matter how the owner feels because the cat likes the vet and thinks they need to date. I can already predict that the story is going to end with the owner magically falling in love with the vet, despite her previous objections. Meh.
If you can get passed the weird cat, the characters are amusing and the story is ok. You just have to get passed the cat. That’s a difficult thing to do...
