4.0
I had saved this book specifically to read for my "They Call It Puppy Love" challenge and I'm so glad I did because not only was it a solid mystery and a quick read, I got to spend time with my favorite Pit Bull (and Cass' book girlfriend) Smooshie.
As the book begins, Lily is settling into life in Moonrise. She has made a close-knit group of family and friends and more importantly, has become mom to one awesome Pit Bull, Smooshie. One morning after a girl's night out, an adorable little Pit puppy is found wandering in the woods and we soon learn that Tino's womanizing dad has been killed. Fearing a close friend's involvement, Lily uses her shapeshifter abilities to try to figure out what happened, and learns that someone may be trying to kill her as well.
I really like the characters of Moonrise and George does a great job of mixing a cozy mystery with some interesting supernatural elements. There is just enough romance to keep things interesting and I can't help but cheer on a budding relationship between Lily and her shelter boss, Parker.
I have to admit I feared this was the last Smooshie book but a quick note to the author last week helped me discover that the next installment comes out in May. Yay, time with these quirky characters. My only real issue with "The Pit List Murders" is that I wanted more resolution for Tino. Maybe I'll find out what happened to him in the next book "Pit & Miss Murder."
