Review: Jacqui is one big ass cat shifter although he has no clue what he truly is or how he became what he is. To top it off his cat had a mind of his own and he was usually found talking to himself or arguing. He was a designer of neutral gender clothes and was pretty good at it. He was falling in love with a certain deputy but was afraid to take it further. He has someone trying to get to him and he didn’t trust to many people. He wasn’t even sure if he should tell Wyatt about his other half or not. He doesn’t need to find trouble because trouble finds him, in this case a pretty beat up dog. Leave it up to him to find answers and get into trouble.

This was quite a bit better then the first two, but it still leaves you hanging at the end. It is a very unique tale with quite a bit going on to keep you entertained. The only issue is that it is a very slow moving tale. It also feels like it was rushed and I think that it would have been better had it not been cut in to seperate stories.

Other than those issues it is a very cute little story. I enjoyed it more than I did the first two stories.

At first when I started reading this series I wasn’t to sure if I wanted to waste my time on it, but it is looking up.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Jacqui and Wyatt have made progress in a way. Someone has stolen credit card information and Jacqui needs answers. Answers it seems that his cat is determined to find. Thankfully Wyatt actually believes him, in a way.

The story has moved just a bit futher and so has the romance. The problem is the story comes off slow paced, rushed and there is no spark. Then there is the fact that you don’t even get the rest until the next book, again. That is one of the reasons I usually drop a book. This one had potential but has not made it quite yet.

It is a funny little story with just a bit of danger in it. The characters are quite quirky and charming and the story is unique. I will read the next book, but if it ends the same as this one I can guarantee that it will be the last book in this series that I read. *cough* The next book is the last in the series hon 😉 ~Pixie~

Title: Prowl

Series: Jacqui the Cat Mysteries 01

Author: Alexis Duran

Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy

Length: Short Story

Publisher: ShadowSpinners Press (May 29, 2018)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 3.5 Hearts

Blurb: Jacqui Corleone is a fashion designer, a yoga-instructor and a concerned citizen who selflessly helps the police solve crimes. Oh, and he occasionally turns into a small wild cat. Probably due to a wizard’s curse or an evil government plot to create super warriors.
Or, he’s a cat cursed to turn into a human and only the bite of a sexy alpha lion will allow him to remain in his superior form of Cat.

Jacqui does not have a split personality, but sometimes his cat personality can get rather loud.
Jacqui Corleone is a cat shifter who doesn’t know why or how he turns into a cat. He lives a solitary life in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. He’s not afraid of intimacy (yes, he is) but sensibly refrains from potentially awkward entanglements. Unfortunately, the sexy new deputy sheriff just moved in across the street and Jacqui’s vow not to get mixed up with island dudes is sorely challenged.

When the mysterious disappearance of three blue pots draws Jacqui to investigate, he prowls ever deeper into danger–and into the arms of Deputy Wyatt West (he wishes).

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Jacqui is a very unique young man who can change into a cat with an attitude. He has his eye on one sexy Deputy but to bad the man thinks his cat side is satan. Well you got to admit that Cat kind of had it coming.

With this story you get most of the dialog from Jacqui and the cat, not so much from Wyatt. I will admit that I thought this story would have gone in a different direction but this story was kind of interesting. It was a very slow moving story that ended before it really got to the good stuff.

It was interesting, funny and sweet type of story with a unique story line. My problem with it was the fact that it didn’t go anywhere. I am afraid that right now, this is not my type of story. We will see if book two is any better and hope there is no drop off.
