A pawsitively purrfect Young Adult read. Set in Portland Oregon, A Song Below Water is a captivating modern fairy tale that readers have been longing for.

I listened to the delightful audiobook version.

Tavia is a Siren. She has to keep her identity a secret in a world prejudiced against her kind. Effie, Tavia’s best friend, loves the water so much she plays a mermaid in a renaissance fair, following in her late mother’s fins. Tavia and Effie are charming young women with all the joys and issues of growing up: weird skin, young love, a gargoyle perched on their roof… They are also Black and face the added challenges of being Black in a racist world while trying to find out where they belong.

Morrow gives readers a mesmerizing story that compassionately deals with real-world issues with charm. I give it five cat heads of approval.

Book Review: I AM PUSHEEN THE CAT by Claire Belton https://whiskersreads.com/2018/07/04/book-review-i-am-pusheen-the-cat/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=book-review-i-am-pusheen-the-cat https://whiskersreads.com/2018/07/04/book-review-i-am-pusheen-the-cat/#respond Wed, 04 Jul 2018 19:54:24 +0000 https://whiskersreads.com/?p=427 Pusheen is a hard working meme cat. She has her own line of GIFs, plush toys, books, friends, and jewellery and other trinkets. She is my idol. So, when I had the opportunity to read her book, I couldn’t have been happier. I purred, and I purred, and I purred all the way through this book. It is an uplifting book with just the right amount of cats. I appreciate her bright colour schemes and simple rendition of complex themes. I give Pusheen’s book five cat heads of approval.

My favorite Pusheen is Fancy Pusheen. My cat dad has a shirt with fancy Pusheen and her monocle and sometimes he wears it. When he holds me in his arms while wearing this shirt, I imagine myself sitting beside the famous Pusheen.

I think Pusheen should now feature in an epic adventure story where she rescues a sacred cat artifact or the internet. Authors Claire Belton and Andrew Duff have a hardworking author cat, who is also an author herself. Pusheen is definitely a reminder to the world that behind every good book or internet meme is a cat.

I look forward to more comics and GIFS and Pusheen in my life going forward.

Book Review: Pas De Deux by Erin Bomboy https://whiskersreads.com/2018/02/06/book-review-pas-de-deux-by-erin-bomboy/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=book-review-pas-de-deux-by-erin-bomboy https://whiskersreads.com/2018/02/06/book-review-pas-de-deux-by-erin-bomboy/#respond Tue, 06 Feb 2018 13:38:32 +0000 https://whiskersreads.com/?p=264 Ballet is the art of grace. A gruelling and noble pursuit for humans, otherwise graceless beings compared to cats. Books, like ballet productions, are also filled with grace: hard work and choreography, of a sort, are required by both arts. Author Erin Bomboy writes books about ballet, and it’s like watching a production play out before your very eyes. Her writing is purrfection.

I give her novel Pas de Deux it four cat heads of approval because, alas, not enough felines.

I also interviewed her author pet Gavin, graceful ruler of New York territory, recently.

Book Review: Dark Experiments by Lana Campbell https://whiskersreads.com/2018/01/10/book-review-dark-experiments-by-lana-campbell/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=book-review-dark-experiments-by-lana-campbell https://whiskersreads.com/2018/01/10/book-review-dark-experiments-by-lana-campbell/#respond Wed, 10 Jan 2018 22:06:31 +0000 https://whiskersreads.com/?p=209 This racy vampire romance meets medical drama has flavors of the Underworld franchise. I study human interaction, especially around romance, to help my author with her writing. Courtship is fascinating and as diverse as cat courtships, especially when vampires are thrown in the mix.

This one left me a bit more confused on the relationship part. I’ll do more research.

There was a tiny wisp of Matthew Clairmont (A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness), my favorite vampire, but just a weensy bit.

I give it three cat heads of approval – not enough cats and needed a bit more story and less kid-napping stuff. If you love vampire romance stories, you’ll like this one.

It was a long journey fantasy epic with a coming of age story. Magic, mystery, beautiful scenery and interesting humans. But no cats and so three stars. Also, only dead dragons. I hope book 2 has more Dragons. Alive dragons. They are almost as good as cats.

Book Review: Sinful Cinderella by Anita Valle https://whiskersreads.com/2017/12/05/book-review-sinful-cinderella-by-anita-valle/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=book-review-sinful-cinderella-by-anita-valle https://whiskersreads.com/2017/12/05/book-review-sinful-cinderella-by-anita-valle/#respond Tue, 05 Dec 2017 18:02:42 +0000 https://whiskersreads.com/?p=174 I give this 4 cat heads of sinister approval. Sometimes you just have to be bad to get what you want. Like that time I knocked all the stuff off the dresser to wake my humans up to feed me. Or that other time I convinced my cat brothers to get the treats. They got in trouble. I got the treats. This story is a Cinderella story with all the wickedness. I like the mice. They sound tasty. Though, once again, not enough cats.

Book Review: The Book of Night With Moon by Diane Duane https://whiskersreads.com/2017/10/02/book-review-the-book-of-night-with-moon-by-diane-duane/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=book-review-the-book-of-night-with-moon-by-diane-duane https://whiskersreads.com/2017/10/02/book-review-the-book-of-night-with-moon-by-diane-duane/#respond Mon, 02 Oct 2017 17:55:46 +0000 https://whiskersreads.com/?p=165 Excuse me. Do you have a minute to hear about the noble wizard cats fighting to save the universe from the Lone Power?

When #whiskersoftheninerealms thinks of great author cats it would be the one guiding great #author @diane.duane because she truly must know the secrets of a purrrfect book for cats.

I give it five cat heads for the right amount of cats in a book, solid insight into the secret life of cats, and acknowledgement of the sacrifices cats make for the universe.
