All reviews are voluntary and my honest opinion.

Eight lives is a sweet story about a cursed cat, Edmund, and his Vampire friend
Anselm.

Anselm saved Edmund after he was cursed by a dark witch a hundred years ago. Now the curse is wearing off, and Edmund keeps shifting between man and cat. If he becomes a man, he can become Anselm's lover, but he'll have a human's lifespan. If he stays a cat, Anselm will never be alone.

This didn't feel like a paranormal novel. Yes, there are vampires, werewolves, demons, curses and a city for all beings not human, but the book feels light and fluffy, cute even. The end closes with a sweet hea, but there's enough potential for another volume. Despite Anslem being the older of the two, and Edmund having a mere twenty years as a human, Edmund is the more emotionally mature party, making sure Anslem feeds himself. It's endearing.

4.5/5
