The arrogance and insults she shovels out on a complete stranger coupled with a very strong "not like other girls" vibe has me disinclined to continue.

What fun!
This was just the kind of paranormal book I was looking for. Funny, feisty, and lots of fun. The fae, a lot of cats (and I mean a lot), and small town mystery make it a fun read.

Love this series but this book too dark for me
I enjoyed this new world in this urban fantasy series, and the two main characters, but could not finish the book because it was too dark for me. Hoping next book in series not so dark

Logan and Elena are like two opposites, forced together...
Convincing him that all these "non humans" exist is quite comical.
I love their bantering and growing relationship.
Can't wait for book 2

I enjoyed this book. The characters were fun and interesting. The plot however was a lot darker then I thought it would be (shame on me for not really reading the description, if I’d known missing kids were involved I probably would have skipped it). That being said it’s not why I only have this book 3 stars. It came down to the plot. A plot that had holes in it for me and things that didn’t add up or make much sense. To start with Logan came off as a complete and utter dick at the beginning. He’s this structured, by the book cop who calls Elena a chick at the beginning. Which is completely with odds the our first introduction to him as being a considerate, loving mommas boy. No way does a mommas boy talk down to a woman like that. Why on earth would they throw this type of man into the FBI Occult division and expect him not to believe any of it? No sense. No sense at all. Then there’s the cats who I don’t really understand why they made such an impact that the book is partially named for them. Their “role” in the plot was odd…… honestly don’t have much to say about that except I don’t think their role constituted a big enough impact to title the book after them.
Then we get down to the bad guy. Well 2 actually. I don’t want to go into too much detail and completely ruin the ending but it had so many freaking holes in it!!! Yes I get there magic, yes I understand the kids were taken by magical creatures. What I don’t understand is how the Queen (you learn she’s a bad guy pretty fast. Is able to come to the human world herself or how the 2nd bad guy is even connected with her. There was no explanation, no reason. It was like these 2 characters had the same end goal AT THE SAME TIME without any reason. None. Just, well look at that, a second bad guy to contend with.
I debated reading the second book. I mean I did enjoy this one but so many of the reviews for the second book talk about plot issues I just can’t bring myself to do it….

An enjoyable, easy, fun fantasy read.
Elena is fae and has a wicked sweet tooth, I wish I could eat all the sweets like she does.
Logan is her new, human, partner. They start off rocky but it’s obvious it won’t last. Chemistry between them, but not acted on in this book.
Actually I found most of the book predictable but it was still a fun read.

This was a did not finish for me. I didn't really like either of the characters and I didn't like the story.
First the characters, they are both spoiled and quite frankly their chemistry and banter comes across as 3 year olds bickering. I typically like the enemies to lover trope but not whatever this was. They are behaving childishly although she had a fair point, he was a rookie that didn't even believe in the supernatural, why was he tapped to be one half of a team chasing serial kidnappers of kids.
That brings us to the second problem, the story. It isn't that the story had holes it is that it couldn't decide what the story was. I just didn't care for any of it.
Sorry this was not my cup of tea but I did maker it through 65% before deciding.
