About the book:
"I told you,
don’t call me Miss Kitty."
Harry Goldman, young
genius, DNA researcher and still a nerd, is back, and this time he’s working
for the law.
At the end of Catnip,
his girlfriend, Anastasia, devolved into a cat. He manages to bring her back to
her half-human form, but no sooner does he do so than a new problem surfaces.
Two other transgenics emerge, and they are out for blood.
Harry and Anastasia
have to face off against Lyudmila, another cat-girl, and Piotr, a half-rhino,
half-boar monstrosity that lives to kill. And if that isn’t bad enough, the
police, lynch mobs, and underground dwellers are after Harry and his girlfriend
as well. With time running out, they embark on a treacherous journey to the
Ukraine in order to solve the riddle of Anastasia’s DNA, a journey that could
also cost both of them their lives.

The review --
Our heroes faces a new
and more deadly foe in book two. The transition into book two was smooth and
business picked up immediately. This fast paced book is filled with interesting
characters and villains. The suspense builds through the book. The characters
were well developed, and that includes secondary characters.
The writing is
superbly done and filled with crafty sentences and vivid imagery. The editing
is top notch with nothing that might distract the reader from this enjoyable
adventure.
The story does have
some violent scenes, but they are tastefully done. I don't read or watch gore
because I'm squeamish. The scenes were necessary to the telling of the
tale. The ending was well
written, and with a twist. The promise of a third Catnip book filled the air,
so watch for it. I want to tell you more, but the author might kill
me.
