About this listen

She's got 99 problems, but a litter box ain't one.

In a world where magic is mundane, soothsayer Journi McCutcheon's love of black lipstick and sarcasm is the oddest thing about her. Being clairvoyant isn't glamorous, but it pays the bills. Mostly. When an ordinary sooth goes awry, however, revealing that a child's life - and maybe the entire city - is in danger, it's up to her to save them.

Only problem? Cats.

The hissing devils aren't her jam on a good day, but when an amateur summoning spell turns them into mindless beasts bent on eating toddlers like tacos, she's forced to act. With the help of a motley crew - her trash-talking granny, taser-toting mother, chain-smoking aunt, and an annoyingly charming veterinarian - she must take on the fiendish felines and the dark forces that control them.

Crazy Cat Lady is a smart, witty urban fantasy brimming with unconventional but badass heroines, animal-loving heroes, and mesmerizing magic.

Will Journi's hatred of cats prevail? Or will these killer kitties hiss their way into her heart?

When I read the description of this book, I had absolutely no doubt that I had to get it - and I wasn’t disappointed.

Journi McCutcheon lives in a town that has been changed by magic, making it normal to have some sort of supernatural gift, side, or what have you. Journi herself is a soothsayer. Cats aren’t her jam, and in this story, she has visions and supernatural experiences that might just make it worse - and one that may just change her mind.

This story is well written and well performed - so much so that I didn’t just expect that this is a part of a series (as this type of book/story often is) - but I sincerely hoped for it. Whaddya know: it’s the first volume of The Hissing Booth Chronicles! Yay!

I would recommend this for fans of the fantasy genre who like the overlap between the magical/supernatural world and the real world.

As it says in the book: The end. Per now.

If you appreciate the overlap between magical and real...

I wouldnt usually use a credit on such a short book but the introduction stuck in my mind and I needed to know more.

I was not disappointed only that there is so much more that can happen in this world and maybe waiting and writing a full book would have been preferable. Hoping there is more to come.

Narration was lovely
