The Cat Lady Chronicles, Book 1

By: Helen Harper

Narrated by: Ruth Urquhart

Nobody is just a cat lady.

Kit McCafferty's life is quiet, unremarkable, and filled with cat hair. In the magical city of Coldstream, located on the border between Scotland and England, Kit is viewed as little more than mildly eccentric and mostly harmless. She passes her days caring for her family of five cats, feeding the local feral moggies, and maintaining relatively good relations with her neighbors.

All that changes, however, when a teenage werewolf shows up at her door in the desperate hope of renting out a nearby vacant flat. Kit knows that the smart move is to tell him to leave. The last thing she needs is to become embroiled in complicated shapeshifter politics. But something about the secretive young werewolf tugs at her heartstrings.

It's not long before Kit ends up caught in a maelstrom of mysterious crime and magical wrong-doing. Fortunately, there's far more to Kit McCafferty than meets the eye and she has a few dark secrets of her own.

Of course, anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that you underestimate a cat lady at your own peril.

Loved every second!

Exciting story mixed with great character development and perfect narration! I am buying the next book in the series right now!

Loved it!

The Scottish accent was difficult to figure out in places, but that’s a necessary trade-off for authenticity.
It’s a nice blend of action/adventure, mystery, and intrigue with a smattering of romance.
I look forward to more in this series.
