I, like some of the others here, just could not stand the immaturity of the lead character.  She just didn't act like she was responsible enough to have 1) bought a house-2) kept up the mortgage on said house 3) had her own business.  It was just too unbelievable given the way she acted.the way some of the minor characters were...I really don't think that a 19 yr old will call a 26 yr. old a cougar...really????  And the fact that just out of the blue, she would offer to let the young female model drive her car...another eye brow raiser for me....I was concerned when I read about the cat....in one place, she refers to it as Clive...a big grey haired, yellow eyed cat...now I am a hardcore Harry Dresden fan, and a cat named Mister plays a big part in those books...Mister is large, grey and yellow eyed and has a bit of an attitude....Clive speaks to the lead female chr with his eyes, just like Dresden's cat (okay, I am a cat lover, and I do know that their eyes can speak tons, so that part is forgivable)  and also JUST LIKE DRESDEN'S cat, comes and goes as he pleases.  The one scene (which leads me to ask why the cat is important if it is only in one scene) he collides with her shins on the steps of the porch (I hate to sound like a broken record here....JUST LIKE DRESDEN'S CAT does all the time) and then she proceeds to call him...get this....Mister....NOT CLIVE....she has a feeling he is part mountain lion...Dresden claims his cat is part Bob Cat...wow...at this point I could not continue...so I don't care if the rest of the novel was pristine....I was highly disappointed to have seen this and I do not support anything that even rings of plagiarism.  I hate writing one star reviews...in fact this is my first...I try to find something positive about the books, but I just could not with this one.
