Love To Read Books with Cats? Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #229 featuring **Merlin Kills A Zombie** by Molly Fitz PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Book Reviews with Amber Valentine's Banner ©BionicBasil®, Amber the ginger and white cat, owns her own library

Hello furbulous library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ. 

If mew saw yesterday's video on TikTok when only 3 out of 6 cats turned up for breakfast, I finally decided that I should get my furry bottom off the sofa upstairs to go and get some snacks!

However, Melvyn was still fast asleep in bed, he always gets in the warm spot when the P.A. gets up in the morning and pretty much stays there all day.

And Pandora was flaked out on the sofa in the sitting room absorbing all the warms from the woodburner.

So I did what any good kitty would do, and ate theirs too! MOL

1. I am going to _________ on _________.

2. The worst _________ is _________.

3. From my experience, _________ is worth its weight in gold.

4. _________ does not work for me.

The P.A.'s Answers

1. I am going to a Japanese restaurant on the 15th February. I love fresh sushi, it's one of my favourite foods ever! LOL

2. The worst thing is getting blisters from new shoes, which felt fine in the shop when you bought them! 

3. From my experience, living with cats is worth its weight in gold. No home is complete without a furry furiend or two, or three, or six, or more! In fact, I don't think you could ever have too many cats!

4. Trying to force myself to be creative does not work for me. If it's not flowing naturally and effortlessly, then I don't do it. I have to leave it alone until such time it does flow, and if it never flows it never happens!

 Merlin Kills A Zombie 


Merlin The Magical Fluff Book 3


by

Molly Fitz

 Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

When my cat brought me a dead bird as a present, I cringed.
When that dead bird suddenly flitted back to life, I screamed.

At first, I shrugged it off as one of the random things that happens when your roommate is a magical cat, but then it kept happening.

Turns out a familiar foe is creating an army of undead creatures with the goal of forcing us to surrender. But Merlin and I refuse to let dark magic prevail—not when the entire existence of magic is now at stake.

And if magic dies, so too will all who wield it.

If mew missed the previous two reviews in the series, here are the links to catch up:



As I said on the last review, this did come as a trilogy box set, so I listened to all three novels consequetively with no break. Book three continues right after book two finishes, so there's no dead space or time lag to catch up on, which I really liked. And, books three and one could easily be be read as stand alone novels too.

This is Merlin and Gracie's last stand, and final battle as their nemesis Dash tries again to rid the magical world once and for all of our fluffy hero, and the world of magic too. This time using an endless onslaught of Zombies while the nefarious plan unfolds.

With kittens on the way, the stakes have never been higher for Merlin and Luna, as they navigate the treacherous dangers the evil Dash keeps sending their way.

The author writes a fast-paced plot with great character development, plus in book three we get a slew of new characters to aid our hero on his journey to battle evil.

As I said in my previous and first review, I felt the narrator wasn't quite right for this role - hence the 4 paw rating, but that's not to say mew may pawsibly disagree with me. This however, didn't distract from my overall enjoyment of the novel and the world the author created. 

In summary, this is a really fun, quirky and well-plotted paranormal, cat cozy mystery series, and if I had any advice for mew as a reader it would be, forget the audio version and just get the ebook or paperback.

In my humble opinion, this is a supurr series.

Love To Read Books with Cats? Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #228 featuring **Merlin Fights a Ghost** by Molly Fitz PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Book Reviews with Amber Valentine's Banner ©BionicBasil®, Amber the ginger and white cat, owns her own library

Hello furbulous library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

As mew can see, we've gone all Valentinesy on the blog.

Well in all honesty, we were getting a little fluffed off with the winter vibe and thought any excuse to decorate, so we hope mew like the lovey-dovey vibe! MOL

This week, after a little accident on my lovely grey blankys, I had to get the emergency beige blankys as a substitute while my grey ones are drying.

1. I enjoy making _________.

2. I can't stop _________.

3. I need to figure out _________ before _________.

4. I maybe not _________, but I do _________.

Here are the P.A.s answers:

1. I enjoy making lots of things, especially for the cats. Creating fun items for their crafting posts is so pawesome. The latest project which will be on the blog soon, threw a little hurdle at me the other day, but I've found a solution, so it's all ok now! LOL

2. I can't stop being creative, I think I would go quite mad if I couldn't make, sew or write stuff.

3. I need to figure out a new layout before I make some new raised beds for the veggies.

4. I may not be purrfect in a lot that I do, but I do try my best.

Merlin Fights a Ghost


Merlin The Magical Fluff Book 2


by

Molly Fitz

 Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

It was hard enough serving as my witchy cat’s familiar when we only had to deal with threats we could see. Now he’s gotten himself into a bitter feud with a newly dispatched ghost, leaving me to wonder…

How in the heck are we supposed to defeat this thing?


Amber's Book Review Mice Divider ©BionicBasil®

I reviewed book one in the Merlin the Magical Fluff trilogy in December, here's the link if mew want to catch up.

This did come as a trilogy box set, so I listened to all three novels consequetively with no break. Book two continues right after book one finishes, so there's no dead space or time lag to catch up on, which I really liked. Though, book two could easily be be read as a stand alone novel too.

In this story, the characters are up against a ghostly foe, and it's up Merlin to save the day with his meowgical prowess with the help from Gracie and Luna. 

Merlin still has his catitude of superiority, although he is learning to be a little less abrasive! And as the ghostly goings-on begin to ramp up, the trio go on the defensive before things take a turn for the worse.

This a fun, paranormal, cat cozy mystery which straddles two worlds; our mundane one and the magical one where cats rule.
 
The plot is nicely paced, the characters develop well, and there are the ubiquitous red herrings to keep mew on your toes claws.

As I said in my first review, I felt the narrator wasn't quite right for this role, but that's not to say mew may pawsibly disagree with me. This however, didn't distract from my overall enjoyment of the novel and the world the author created. 

I really like where the story is headed and will share book three with mew soon.
