The Wizard's Cat

The Wizard's Butler, Book 2

By: Nathan Lowell

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

It started with a dandelion. Innocuous. Ubiquitous. Who knew it was a warning?

After claiming his big bonus, things are coming up roses for Roger Mulligan. A job he loves. A house that feels like home. Money in the bank. A solid roof over his head and job security.

But when he finds a dandelion on the pristine grounds of Shackleford House, he starts down a twisted, garden path. Old man Shackleford says the fairies have a problem, the pixies keep falling down on the job, and the house seems to grow weaker by the day.

He's soon tossed into a confusing mixture of fact and fantasy, accompanied by Shackleford's cousin and—of all things—a stray cat. Surrounded by the fantastical, it's hard to tell magic from mundane.

A lovely low-key fantasy adventure

I have thoroughly enjoyed both selections of the Wizards Butler series. They are well written with interesting characters, very well narrated, and interesting story lines. I very much appreciate the lack of blood and guts and violence and just being able to enjoy a nice story!

More of all of it please

More with this narrator more about the house, the cat, the pixies oh and some of the wizard guy and his butler! lol
Can't wait for more!!!!!

Enjoyed the book.

I liked the book and I enjoy this author. I didn’t like it quite as much as the first one as that one had more excitement. Based on the ending I assume there will be another. I look forward to it. I really like the characters.

some style differences but still enjoyable

Im biased because the first one is one of my favorite books of all time. This one had a few differences that I didn't like, occasionally it switched perspectives and I preferred the style of the first book. This one also had more social commentary that was interesting. I hope there's more in the series though.

Who doesn't love a story with a talking cat?

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, "The Wizard's Butler," so I was eager to continue in this book. The story continues the development of Mulligan as a butler for a magical house, and Barbara as the heir apparent. The story lacks the sense of urgency of the first book, but I felt like it laid down necessary groundwork for future books. And of course, Gideon the talking cat, looks to be a fantastic addition to the team!
