Chasing Cats by Erin Bedford is a great story to read. This is book number two in this great series that I have read. I recommend this to everyone who likes to read general fantasy story.

Chasing Cats is book two in The Underground series. Kat is back home from her trip into the rabbit hole and now she has to deal with everything she has learned. This author has created an amazing world where I could escape reality for a few hours and what a fun escape it was. Loved all the interesting characters and I can’t wait to read the next book in The Underground series.
Kat is back in the human realm, trying to return to her human life. Prince Dorian and Chess are frequent visitors, both protecting and wooing her. As events in the Otherworld grow increasingly unsettled Kat becomes more and more drawn into the conflict and more and more conflicted about her personal relationships. The triangle of Kat, Chess and Dorian is interesting and complicated and fun to read about. I received an advance copy of this book and chose to leave an honest review.
Highly emotional, heart pounding, action packed and engaging adventure filled with magic, danger, secrets and so many exciting twists and turns….. was a great way to spend the evening and really enjoyed all the interesting charters and vivid imagery.

Danger danger! Warning: if you haven’t read Chasing Rabbits (which I separately reviewed) then don’t read this review unless you’re ok with spoilers. But, really, trust me that Chasing Rabbits is excellent, and reading it first will make your enjoyment of this book do much more.
Ok, with that taken care of, my review …
Erin Bedford’s Underground is a wonderful modernizing and expansion of the classic Alice in Wonderland into a fantastic urban fantasy that’s recognizably basic on the classic bit is do very much more. That’s perfectly seen in series book 2, Chasing Cats, taking off from the end of (the truly excellent) Chasing Rabbits (book 1) with our heroine Kat having returned to the human realm. Everything is changed, however, as Kat now knows that she has the soul and memories of a hundred year dead faerie princess residing in her. She also has a cat-man constantly turning up, and a huge problem to deal with as the Shadows are going after the fae with humanity surely next. Nevermind having to deal with the White Queen, her former fiancé and so much more. (As an aside, the prequel book 0, Chasing Hearts, is excellent and – even though NOT strictly necessary – adds a lot of background context that helps in added understanding of what’s driving all these characters.)
I’m not really going to go into the actual plot, or do any summarizing of it, as I don’t want to spoil anything, but I will note that such plot is wonderfully excellent. I actually am a fan of the works of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll) and have re-read both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass numerous times. In some ways, though, I actually prefer Erin Bedford’s green up version. Just as with books 0 and 1, this book 2 has a creative and well written plot with wonderful lead and supporting characters that transport the reader into a fantastic urban fantasy world created by the author. You don’t need to know anything about the original classic Alice tale to totally enjoy this book and the series. That’s one of the beauties of what Erin Bedford has done. For those familiar with the classic tale, however, this book and series are a real treat.
Highly recommended.
PS: I’m a bit in love (mebbe in lust at least) with Chess. I mean wowza meow.
Down the rabbit hole once again…
Kat’s trip down the rabbit hole makes Alice’s seem like a walk in the park. As Kat continues to “work thru” all she has learned, more problems arise. Then there is Chess. What exactly is going on with him? Is he on her side? This is definitely one series that you have to read in order but it is so worth it.

Are you ready for an adventure? With this spin on Alice in Wonderland you will get that and so much more. Chasing Cats is the second book in the Underground Series. And with that being said this second book delves right back into the story where the first book left off. I am headed to the next book in the series now. I’m hooked on this series.

This book was awesome from beginning to the end. I highly recommend it, was very entertaining.
Loved this book/series!
The fun fantasy continues in this second book in the series.You definitely need to read the first book in the series. But Chasing Cats by Erin Bedford picks right up where things left off with Kat leaving the Underground with Chess and returning home to the human world, her job and her family. Read book 1 first so you know what going on.
This is the second book in the series and we learn a little more about Kat and her family. There were times I wanted to scream at the characters. The ending of this book shocked me and I cannot wait to start the next book.
