I'm so excited to be one of eleven blogs hosting a giveaway for author Kathi Daley's new book 
ROMEOW & JULIET! 
Book 1 in the Whales And Tails Mystery series. 

Kathi is giving away 1 copy of ROMEOW & JULIET 
(per blog)

Romeow and Juliet is the first in a cozy mystery series set on Madrona Island, a fictional island within the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State. As a fourth generation islander Caitlin Hart is struggling to make her way as the economy and culture of the island evolves toward a tourism based industry. Cait lives in a cabin on her aunt's oceanfront estate where she helps her aunt run Harthaven Cat Sanctuary. When she isn't working with the cats, she helps best friend Tara, operate the coffee bar/bookstore/cat lounge they own, named Coffee Cat Books.

In the first installment to the series Cait and her dog Cody find the body of a member of the island council dead in the back room of the old fish cannery. As Cait delves into the murder she finds herself with an unlikely sleuthing partner that might just lead to a relationship of a more personal kind.

Meanwhile, Romeo, as stray cat that followed Cait home, is causing all sorts of problems for Cait as, in spite of dire warnings from the neighbor next door, he refuses to stay away from her very expensive show cat, Juliet. Could Romeo really be trying to tell Cait something about the neighbor that she initially refuses to see?

My Review
A purrfect start to a new series. 
Author Kathi Daley once again proves she has what it takes to write a wonderful story. This first book in her new Whales & Tails Mystery series has set the stage for what is sure to be a long running series.

In ROMEOW & JULIET, Daley mixed just the right amount of fun and intrigue to keep me turning the pages. Her characters are delightful, as are many of the situations they find themselves in. I laughed out loud at some of the things her lead character, Caitlin got into.

My heart was won over by the idea of the Harthaven Cat Sanctuary. Any story with a love for animals has my attention. And then having Caitlin and her best friend, Tara wanting to open a coffee bar/bookstore…Ms. Daley had me completely hooked.

Also included are recipes, some from the author and others collected from readers. There is even one for cats! 


And a big CONGRATULATIONS to 
Kathi on both her wins!
