Publisher's summary

Find a missing book. That was the job the woman in the Doc Martens gave us. Easy money, right? Only now it seems she's actually an ancient, powerful sorcerer, and the book is a Book of Power that doesn't want to be found. It wants to tear reality apart at the seams, and it'll use anyone it can to do it.

So now we've got one spectacularly displeased sorcerer, a hungry, still-missing book, a dentist with bad hygiene, and a neighbourhood having some reality issues to deal with. Plus about a day before the book turns our world - and us - inside out.

We've totally got this. I hope.

such fun!

So unique having a cat doing the narrating of the story. I loved it and the story was just great. The narrator did an awesome job too.

Delightful series

I was a bit hesitant because I thought it might feel too YA or young, but I do like urban fantasy and detective/mystery, so I gave it a shot and enjoyed it so much I promptly devoured the whole series. It’s very charming and funny -with just enough of an edge. Great characters, great pace, and just an all around delight. Only downside is I read (listened to) them all so fast and now I’m sad it’s over. I will definitely find other works by this author to listen to now.

Good

Didn’t grab my attention, everything about this book was fine. Story, performance, etc. it somehow just wasn’t very engaging or interesting.

interesting start of a series

I really enjoyed this book. Even with magic and talking cats it's not a 'young adult' story, much more urban fantasy. everything adds up to a promising start for a series

Interesting start

I enjoyed the story and the characters and am looking forward to the next book. At first I was worried the story would be a little too much of a cottoncandy, PG urban fantasy story. While it is a little lighter than the stories I usually listen to, the stakes and some aspects of the story are serious enough that it never gets too...kid-like of a story.

Nice weekend, tea, and Book of POWER

SNAP! And this story just keeps getting better and better. Best friends seeking hot tea and a quiet place to read save the world. Love the voices for the characters and the hijinks that Gobbs gets into within this fantastical world. My favorite part is how well created Gobbelinos character and his seeking comfort. Wonderful, fantastic story in gritty real-world setting.

Wonderfully funny

With quirky, engaging characters, a story that flows right along, and excellent narration to top everything off. I think I'll read more from this clever author.
