"A Cat is the Soul of a House."

GENRE: Cozy Fantasy
RATING: 5/5
FORMAT: eBook Arc

Overall Impression: I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could, Heather Fawcett never fails to disappoint me and Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter was no exception to this!

Review:
WHAT A BOOK! This is a beautiful Cozy Fantasy that talks about finding joy and love in having a cat shelter (as you would expect from the title) and dives into grief, relationships and building a cat shelter in the middle of mayhem!

I loved everything about the story truly. I loved how we get to meet Agnes and see her interact with all the cats, how she treats them and how she has her own cats as well in addition to the strays she puts up for adoption. I love how we also get to see the personality of each of the cat that we meet throughout the story. I also love seeing the sisterhood between Agnes and Eloise and how their dynamic is a fun way to shed light at how supportive they are to each other.

I also love how ultimately, this is a story of giving people a chance and hoping they show you the best side of them. Agnes gets told that she always sees the best in people and this is discussed throughout the story, how she believes that and only sees the good in people. This how we get to see the situation between Agnes and Havelock evolve and read about their adventure. Agnes believes that the good in people eventually wins out and we see this in the way she interacts with people in the story.

And another aspect I loved is the grief that is mentioned throughout the story because Agnes lost her husband, Robin. I think this played a lovely part in the story, and it shows how our love for someone stays, no matter where we are or how we have to move on for grief is often thought to be love that has no place/person to go to anymore.

Also not Agnes saying she cries as easily as she blushes because same honestly LOL. All in all, this was a fun read AHH, Emily Wilde is one of my favourite series (I've read book 1 and 2) and I knew that the writing and whimsy of Heather Fawcett was going to carry over in here (and it did). I can't wait for more Cozy, Whimsical reads from the author.

Thank you to the author, publisher and netgalley for the Arc copy!
