Maggie, a black cat, has fallen in love with her owner Nicholas. She goes to the head cat (wth?) and asks to be made human. He grants her the wish under the condition that she has until Halloween (just over a week away) to make him say "I love You". This book was so cheesy! The romance parts were pretty bad. The only redeeming part of this book was the awesome side characters, Deenie and Hoop. Some parts of Maggie finding 'her feet' in the real world were cute. This plot could have made for a fun, lighthearted paranormal story but it just doesn't work here. I apologize to Julie Kenner because everything else I've read by her has been golden. ( )

This book totally reminded me of the movie "Splash", except with a cat instead of a mermaid. Maggie also strongly reminded me of the character "Candy" from the show "2 1/2 Men" - very ditzy. The subplot with Hoop and Deena was much more interesting than the main romance, I would have liked to see more of them. ( )
