Cursed Claws (Nine Lives Magic, #3)

by Danielle Garrett

Have you ever wished your cat could talk to you? If so, allow my story to be your cautionary tale.

Tracking down Aunt Lavender’s kidnapper is proving to be more difficult than running through a swimming pool filled with peanut butter. Every lead we uncover ends with more questions than answers.

We’re running out of ideas—and time, too. The mysterious Golden Lotus seems to hold the key to the investigation, but no one can tell us what it does or why Aunt Lavender might have been looking for it.

And if that wasn’t enough to keep both my cranky feline familiar and me completely occupied, we find ourselves thrust into the center of another criminal investigation—this time as the lead suspects.

We have to work together to clear our names and get the Winterspell PD off our tails so we can continue our hunt for Aunt Lavender and the mysterious Golden Lotus.

Time is burning faster than the wick on one of my enchanted candles, and I fear it’s about to sputter out.

**Cursed Claws is book three in the Nine Lives Magic series by Danielle Garrett. These magical cozy mysteries are full of hijinks and purr-fect for anyone who wanted to adopt Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.**

4.5 stars

Each book in this series is increasingly better! I buddy read this with Sophia and she also gave it 4.5 stars. We both ending up gobbling the book up in just 2 days, thanks to a fantastic storyline and Amanda Ronconi's 5-star narration.

I've grown really invested in these characters - Selene continues to crack me up, Danielle Garrett has really captured the voice of a cat (and Amanda Ronconi voices it perfect). We're seeing more of Cora's family, which I like, and I also enjoyed the developments in her relationship with Clint.

I think what made this book especially good, though, was the mystery and the way it put real pressure on Cora herself. She's worked so hard to have her thriving business and just when things are looking great the bottom falls out. The mystery had me guessing (in all the wrong directions) and it ended with a really unexpected and fantastic action scene. The excitement was really up a notch!

And last - but not least - we had some surprise twists and developments in Aunt Lavender's situation. It has left me even more excited to see where the next book will take us.

I will definitely be continuing listening to this series - Amanda Ronconi is a great narrator and particularly does well voicing these characters. I'm enjoying it immensely, at 2x speed.
