Have you ever wished your cat could talk to you? If so, allow my story to be your cautionary tale. My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves-although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive. I'm still looking into the magical fine print, but in the meantime I'm stuck as the guardian to an snarky immortal cat with a nonexistent filter. Oh, and by another cruel twist of fate, my ex-husband just moved back into town. I thought I couldn't take any more, but when a murder rocks my small community, I wind up entangled in the investigation thanks to a handsome stranger. If only life came equipped with a rewind button.
