Here Kitty, Kitty (Magnus Pack) Paperback – May 1, 2009

Why you should treat yourself to a Shelly Laurenston para-normal novel – (beginning with the 1st in the series):Character Development:The author does such an unbelievable job of blending the animal behavior in so well with the human side thus creating characters that are so realistic for a paranormal story that it is so easy to suspend belief and actually see the characters in your mind. The wolf shifters behave like wolves and the feline shifters do not act like lap cats. The attitudes of the animal side are so well incorporated in the characters to make them real to the reader and cause a laughing spell. The characters are so well portrayed that a mental picture is easily established for the reader. You come to know the characters and can’t help but be not only fascinated by them but also care about them.Humor:The humor can be considered rude, crude, sarcastic and totally believable for the characters. It is so realistic that you can imagine yourself saying the same thing in the same situation. The interactions between the determined Alpha Males and the Strong Willed Females are some of the funniest moments in the novels that I have ever read. The attitudes of the animal side are so well incorporated in the characters to make them real to the reader and cause a laughing spell. (Warning, do not start reading any of these books in public if you don't want people staring at you when you start giggling uncontrollably. I am a grown woman - I never giggled - until I started reading this series.)Alpha Males:Strong, caring, not perfect Alpha Males that when they set their minds to making a certain female his – has no problem being as sneaky as a feline or as determined as a wolf. Each novel involves a different Alpha who comes across that particular female that just happens to make him want to roar or howl to let everyone know that she is his and his only, if he can only get that suborn female to acknowledge it.Strong Female Characters:In the animal world, the female of the breed is often more dangerous than the male and/or capable of taking care of themselves and not waiting to be "rescued". This means that the females in any of Laurenston’s novels are strong, sarcastic and are fighters whether shifter or human. They do not suffer fools or weaklings gladly or at all. It takes a strong Alpha male to even get their attention but he had better not try any sh*t on them or they’ll take his a** down a notch.Originality and Creativity:Out of this world! The only way to describe it is to tell you what it is not:No fated mating – each couple has their own unique reason as why they find themselves attracted to each other – just as in the real world.None of the same plot line just with a different couple – each novel has a unique plot line – no repeats or rehash.No cardboard cutouts for characters. Every character has his or hers unique personality – again, just like in the real world.This still does not touch on how creative the writing is – there are just no words to really describe it.World Building:The region, the dialect, the habits, quirks for that particular area are all so well incorporated into the novel that the reader cannot help but be transported, only if it is in the mind, to that place and time.Editing Problems:Simply put – there are none.WARNINGS:The series must be read in order because the world building is continued from one novel into the next. Also, the previous characters are continued into the next novel as part of the world building which creates a unique world that you are able to visit whenever you get a chance to escape from this reality.If you like your romance to be sweet with the female protagonist waiting for her "Knight in shining armor" to save her - this novel is not for you.If you are offended by explicit sex scenes and profanity - again, this novel is not for you.If you want your hero or male protagonist to be the strong but sensitive type - this novel is not one you will enjoy.If you do not like or get sarcastic humor - then skip this series.This is a very long review but please keep reading.If you look at all my reviews you will see that the first couple pages are all 5* reviews for Shelly Laurenston/ G A Aiken novels as well as a few other authors (after that you can see the good, bad and real ugly). That is because I have done the authors an injustice and am finally catching up on what I should have done a long time ago. I usually do not review all the books in a series unless or until they start to go downhill. I figure that once you are hooked on a series it does not matter what anyone says – you’ll make up your own mind to either stay or quit the series. I did not think that maybe my reviews might actually help on newer books in the series – attract attention from readers who were not even aware of the wonderful writings of the authors. That is why you will see this same review on most of the novels. I actually did an injustice to one of the few writers who actually help me get through this past year events because I just did not want to take the time to write a review.Last summer, I had several life altering events that happened to me – not the good type either. The events, the constant problems that had to be resolved after, the decisions that had to be made were all devastating emotionally, physically and financially. (The old saying that trouble or bad things come in threes is a lie – it can be multiples of that.) It was a time when I wasn’t taking a day at a time – I was taking it minute by minute – just to get through the next decision – face the next problem. Late one night when once again sleep eluded me, I picked up my e-reader and scanned my books to see if I could distract myself with anything. My eyes fell on my section of Shelly Laurenston novels. I started with one series and then went on to the next series and then the next series that she writes. Just for a little while during that period I could escape from all the pain, troubles and sorrows that I was experiencing. While I couldn’t laugh – they did make me smile and forget for just a little while everything else. While I have read other author’s novels over the past year, it has been Shelly Laurenston/G A Aiken’s series that I have read over and over again to escape to a more pleasant place – to smile again. And for that, Shelly Laurenston deserves a 5* review on every one of her books that I have practically memorized over the past year.While I reread all of the novel in all of the series - several times each, I did keep going back to this one and THE MANE ATTRACTION - both really should be a 10*. They have come to be my "go to" books when things again get really tough and I need a laugh to keep me going.

Please note this review may contain spoilers.Here Kitty, Kitty is the third and final book in the Magnus Pack series and follows Angie (Sara's other crazy best friend) and tiger shifter Nik.After a hyena attack, Angie is "rescued" by tiger brothers, Bannik and Aleksei, then dropped off at their brother Nik's house. Why? Because Nik and Angie had a moment at the airport and his brothers figured they'd help him out. Besides, they tossed a coin for her and apparently Nik won. He arrives home to find a naked Angie in bed and things go downhill from there real fast.As seems to be the way in all of Shelly's books, humour plays a big part. I must say that I love a book that can get me laughing and horny in one sitting.Like the previous books, the secondary characters in Here Kitty, Kitty are so enjoyable to read about. Nik's brothers, Ban and Alex, are hilarious together. When they try to woo Angie - tiger style? Priceless. Both men are extremely intelligent, but put them together and they make real bad decisions. Like "rescuing" an unconscious woman and bringing her across state lines.My only disappointment is that in introducing Ban and Alek, I got the impression that one or both would get their own book. Especially when Alek is having some sort of romantic relationship with Zach's (Pack Challenge) little sister Nessa. At the end of the book Zach is on the phone to Nessa asking when she's coming home and she has to face "him" (not Alek) eventually. Obviously there's a story there and I'd like to hear about it. But to date there's been no mention of Alek and Nessa getting their own book.So this book marks the end for best friends Sara, Miki and Angie. All three women have found their alpha males and none of them could be happier. But don't get too upset. Shelly created a spin-off series, the Pride Stories, which at time of this review is up to book 9. I have read all 9 books and I'm about to start reading them all over again. Happy times are ahead.

4 stars - It was really goodAngelina Santiago didn’t think her life could get any stranger. Then she is kidnapped, dragged across the country, and dumped at the home of the gorgeous tiger shifter Nikolai Vorislav.Angelina and Nik’s story was a wild ride. Angelina was a spunky, smart, and deadly heroine, who also had a great sense of fashion. She isn’t afraid to take what she wants, physically or sexually, and that leads to her having a fling with Nik. As you can imagine, feelings become involved pretty quickly the more they learn about each other and they soon realize they have fallen in love with each other.Before they admit their feelings though, they have to deal with some hyena’s who keep trying to attack Pack members and each other's nosy family members. The shenanigans that happen in these books are outrageous and hilarious. You never know what to expect when it comes to Angelina, or Miki and Sara, and that is what makes reading these so much fun. It's just a hilarious journey of crazy fights, great friendship, and some steamy love.Overall, this was a good conclusion to the Magnus Pack series. I am so glad I decided to reread this series because I had forgotten how crazy and fun Laurenston’s books were. They are wild and make for a fun read.

I love these books. They're all endlessly entertaining, sexy, hysterically funny, and different. They make me feel better every time I read them.Donna B.

If you like Shelley, Lawrence Stan books. You'll love this new one called here Kitty kitty. I'm thoroughly enjoyed reading her books. The shape shifter, such as Tigers and bears angles and even hygienist. All interesting stories even the Badger ones. I hope you enjoy her books as much as I do each dance alone. And each is a great read, thank you, Shelly.

It was SO GOOD! I just wish they would made it for Listeners as well as Reader! But maybe it can still happen! Here is hoping! All I can say about the book itself is READ IT! It is AMAZING!

I love Angelina!! She's so honest, brutal and loving. She really cares for her friends and we see that in this book. We also got to learn why she is the way she is and I found that interesting.Nik was a great addition and not intimidated by her friends, which is important!I love how Shelly introduces new shifter types and how the characters reactions are realistic.She created the world of the tigers so well and I definitely got immersed.The romance was smooth and sexy and one of my favourites with the first book in the trilogy coming a close second. Ah Sara *moon eyes*

on découvre l'histoire de la 3° de la bande = l'auteure nous décrit très bien ses sentiments que j'ai bien eu l'impression d'être elle et de rire avec ses tigres si spéciaux dans leur espèce , du plaisir encore , pas même tension que avec notre petite génie ni notre grande louve mais une humaine latino qui fait fléchir un grand tigre du bengale c'est à découvrir / l'anglais se lit facilement =essayez avec un extrait

一作目で登場した３人仲間のうちの最後の1人で、アンジーがヒロイン。本人が言っていたように、猫派な彼女のヒーローはタイガーです。タイガーらしくなく母親一筋な父親の様にはなりたくない！とアンジーへの気持ちを頑なに否定していましたが、アンジーが巻き込まれた事件でそうも言ってられなくなります。事件ありラブラブあり、女同士の友情あり！そしてこの作者の持ち味であるユーモア満載な本作品、シリーズまとめてお薦めです。

Avec la troisième fille de la bande. Un très bon moment comme les deux autres épisodes. On y retrouve beaucoup d'humour, un sénario très correct.J'ai une petite préférence pour le tome 2 mais c'est essentiellement du aux personnages avec lesquels on s'identifie plus ou moins.Un joli happy end pour ce dernier livre !
