A Purr-fectly Sexy & Fun Paranormal Romantic Comedy Tale!
Overview: Meet shifter Jack Russell and cat-fancier Kitty Kat, and learn how Anger Management Class brought together an unlikely couple in a paranormal romantic comedy that’s custom made for animal lovers.
Although C.A.King paints a grim picture of the future for multiple pet owners and shifters, she doles out more than a few romantic twists and comedic surprises in her purr-fectly sexy and fun paranormal fantasy tale, “The Red Dot Capers”. In classic King style, she leads readers on a fun romp, introducing danger and mystery to an otherwise simple plotline, and ends on a cliffhanger as she hints at a second chapter for her memorable characters.
In this story, King focuses on animal shifters—particularly, cats. Shifters have few rights under the law and are shunned by society. Their living quarters are segregated, they must be registered in a database, and their movements are highly restricted. For humans who keep pets, the number of animals they may have is controlled by the law and there is little mercy for those who break it. Animal Control has little regard for the pets of those who must surrender their animals—which all undergo a neutering or spay process, or have to be put down. The clincher is that it’s sometimes hard to tell whether a cat is just a cat, or a shifter. Thus begins the tale of Jack and Kitty—A shifter and a cat fancier destined for love.
Although the plotline in “The Red Dot Capers” is somewhat predictable and King’s characters maybe a bit stereotypical or one-dimensional, this is a tale that will pluck at the heartstrings of animal lovers with scenes of great tenderness and compassion, along with situations that lead to complete laughter and mayhem.
King manages to walk a fine line as she successfully presents a story filled with irony, romance, laughter, and tears. Paranormal Romance fans will lap up the steamy scenes between Kitty and Jack and Romantic Comedy fans will roll on the floor laughing over the absurd situations they find themselves in—not to mention the latter’s fear of losing his manhood to the avid staff members at Animal Control.
“The Red Dot Capers” is a lighthearted and comedic romance read for fans of the paranormal. This story contains some moderate adult situations and scenes of animal abuse. I recommend this easy-to-read novel for ages 17 and up.
What do you get when you cross a shifter in denial and a reclusive cat lady with anger issues?
You get a highly entertaining paranormal mystery adventure story that doesn’t want to be put down once you pick it up.
This is a great read, written with warmth and vivacity. Just like the storyline, the characters are quite original and quirky. The writing is very good and the action moves at a good pace, with a few amusing twists along the way.
Jack Russell is a Shifter who prefers pretending to be human while he’s really a cat. Kitty Cat is human, but loves cats. They both live in a world where humans and Shifters are segregated and there are some pretty serious consequences if they fraternize. But what’s worse is that Shifters are disappearing all over the city and no one knows why.
This is an absolutely delightful story with humor, whimsy, and a dash of romance. The world building was subtle, but complete enough for us to get the bigger picture. Well-written and on the lighter side, this is definitely the kind of story you’d want to read after a miserable day. My only quibble is that it seemed to wrap up a little too quickly. I realize that there’s another book coming in the series, but I just needed a touch more. But it’s a really small thing in an otherwise very fun and enjoyable book.
