The Cat's Meow: One Magic Moment / Moonstruck / Heart's Desire / Get Thee a Cat
reviewed on + 1568 more book reviews


Romance and a touch of cat-magic. Predictable, but fun.

From back cover: Four stories of purrfect romance! "To persons of good character, free feline to stable home". The ad seemed perfect for what Gisella Lowell, an eccentric Bostonian gypsy, intended. While the newspaper ad offered only the possible adoption of four adorable cats, Gisella's plans were a whisker more complex: four individual tales of magic and romance.
As the October nights grew chill and the winds howled, four couples would cuddle before their hearths, protected from the things that go bump in the night. While outside, children frolicked and tripped from door to door, the lovers would sample tricks and treats of their own -- learning that unwrapping candy wasn't the best thing about the holiday. And by Halloween, each would realize that they had been rewarded with the most fulfilling gift of all: a warm, affectionate feline. And, of course, true love.
