That Time My Ex Turned into a Cat (Ava Storm 1)

Some days you just need a quick, witty, cozy witch mystery book. I found it hilarious that Ava’s ex husband is turned into a cat. If only we could all do that with our exes. Ava is really hard on herself. She doesn’t think she’s a very good which or detective, and neither does anyone else for that matter. She proves them wrong though! I really love how she didn’t fall in love after her divorce. She’s just living the single life, trying to put her life back together. I’m very interested in why Braxton kept telling Liam to stay away from her. I hope this series continues. I want to learn more about these characters and the world they live in. There are enough suspects in this case that it was near the end before I figured out who the real culprit was.

I am new to the cozy mystery genre, and although I have not read more than 6 cozy’s I am really getting into it. I love ones with cats and this story was no different. The special thing about this book is not only the story (I love the idea of a cheating husband being turned into a cat) but the fact that this author used a location that I lived in from birth to age 20. I was born in Los Angeles and was familar with the streets she used (in fact I lived two blocks from Santa Monica Blvd and as a kid I used to go to the beach in Santa Monica). My absolute favorite part is when she used the MBTI personality definitions to describe two of her characters. I was really hoping that there was an INFP (which is mine) in there, but there wasn’t (maybe another time?). I love the way the protagonist kept telling everyone that the cat (her ex) is not her familiar, but I suspect that next book that may change. I love the fantasy part of this book also, as I mentioned I am new to the genre so I don’t know if a lot of authors use mystical creatures besides witches in their stories, but as someone who also loves paranormal and horror books, this story was perfect for me.

Cute story, enjoyed it!
