Is it odd to classify books “with a body count” as sweet? Yet it is. I liked this one, not word as much as some of the others, but it was decent, witty and built on the lore of this universe. Clean romance with fade to black.

Really had issues connecting to the characters in this one.
Reed is putting the pieces of his life back together after getting out of prison. His wife left him, and now he has SEVERE anxiety / panic attacks. He has taken extreme measures to obscure information about him. He bought a house, and a hippie couple currently resides in it. He lives in a city with a population of 1 ... him. He does have a 9-5 job ... that is 3 hrs from his house. He's spent most of his time renovating his home, and chopping a LOT of wood.
He's also been monitored by 3 angels, and a slew of therapist since his release. Things start to get topsy-turvy on him, when angel Luna really starts interfering in his life. He rescues an adorable kitten ... which he names Kitten, Destroyer of Worlds, who also becomes his therapy cat. Kennedy - his ex - is also back in the picture as a liaison for the CDC/FBI. Kennedy also finds an adorable 2-week old Corgi she adopts and names Puppy, Savior of Worlds.
Reed is definitely an Eeyore. He has NO self-confidence. Kennedy is very abrasive, and all seems to be forgiven rather quickly. Reed's abilities do play a big factor in that though ... conveniently.
Reed also finds himself in need of a sword, and the ability to use it. He negotiates with Luna on getting the best of the best ... and somehow Kennedy gets pulled along for the training. Elves are extremely feared in this world ... and I'm pretty sure it's their first appearance in this series. I really liked Samantha.
Overall, I just really didn't get this story ... at all. I'm giving it 3 starts, because I really do adore this world, and there were some entertaining bits sprinkled throughout.

No Kitten Around (Magical Romantic Comedies #5) by R.J. Blain – THEY LEFT HIM ALONE IN THE DARK FOR TWO YEARS!!???!!! I must have mentally yelled this at the universe while reading this book dozens of times. Most of these characters are due some bubble wrap, but I swear Reed deserves to be cuddled by the universe! Someone should have taken a bat to Reed’s family though! Haruph. Happy Reading!
