But don't be jealous you kooky dog people... this 71-page short story is not all that sexy or well-written.  I found it hollow and severely lacking in atmosphere and sensuality.PLUS... I pegged this author for straight or bi before I even read her bio.  Ain't no lezzies in lesfic I know who drag their lead around with some cardboard dude for the first 30% of the story.  Ack.  I actually went back to the synopsis to ensure I'd actually picked up a f/f story... this didn't seem to be going anywhere and I'd forgotten what it was even about.Turns out the other female lead was there the whole time in the form of a cat.  A lesbian cat- but not a particularly noteworthy one.  The witch's familiar.  Apparently, this immortal feline is in love with her mistress.And her mistress is Brigid, a pretty red-haired witch who is mourning the loss of a family member.  She's straight.  And the male friend pretending to comfort her has a shady agenda... well, the usual testosterone-driven agenda, I suppose.  When he finds himself competing with Brigid's vile and jealous cat... Brigid does what any crazy cat lady would do...  she shoo's the human away and spends eternity with her dreamy raven-haired and golden-eyed cat.But I'm probably making this sound more interesting than the premise promises.  It opened sooooo slow.  Boring hetero presence.  And the interactions with the shape-shifting cat and witch had zero sensuality.  And the sex was one-sided to boot.  I hate that!Meh.I got love for most kinds of lesfic melodrama (I swear)... but I can't get into this genre much unless it's exceptionally crafted.  It definitely got more interesting when the dude disappeared... and there is definitely something very appealing about the Familiar idea...  but this just wasn't as interesting or as sensual as an idea like this would promise.2.5 stars
