As a devoted cat lover, I couldn’t resist being captivated by the utterly adorable cover of the book, Editor Kill Fee by GG Collins. While I typically don’t judge a book by its cover, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the story itself was equally delightful. Choosing books solely based on their covers isn’t my usual approach, but this time it truly paid off.

What truly whiskered its way into my heart was the Santa Fe/New Mexico ambience infused throughout the pages. As someone who often embarks on literary adventures to compensate for the inability to afford actual travel, I was absolutely thrilled by GG Collins’ purrfectly vivid portrayal of the buildings, food, and overall culture of the Southwest. Every turn of the page transported me to a feline-fascinating world.

Now, I must admit that the plot meandered down a somewhat predictable path. However, given the cozy mystery genre, a touch of predictability is often expected. Fortunately, the dialogues and characters more than made up for any lack of surprise. They truly brought the story to life, whiskers and all. I found myself utterly engrossed in their interactions, purrfectly poised on the edge of my seat, eagerly lapping up each and every word.

While this book stands beautifully on its own, I’m positively purring with anticipation at the thought of sinking my claws into the first two books of the series. I have no doubt that they will provide even more delightful adventures for me to embark upon with these captivating characters.
