BOOK SYNOPSIS:
It started with one lost, shivering pup; it may end in a war…
Panthers don’t do responsibility. They don’t do long-term relationships. They definitely don’t raise kids. But when Z discovers a young wolf in the forest, he takes him in, unaware of the powerful beings hunting the pup.
Fiona is a witch who can’t leave her house; the birds have told her something bad will happen. The mailbox is as far as she’ll go, but even that may provide more danger than she’s bargained for. When a wolf pup stumbles into her garden, her safe, wrapped-up world heads for a free fall.
But along with danger, the pup brings a chance at love—a chance an agoraphobic witch and a bachelor panther shifter aren’t likely to find on their own.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: The Catalyst is an ensemble book that also features Jane and Cole (from Blood Lust) and Cain (from Blood Lust and Save My Soul)
REVIEW:
Ahhh, I love the Preternatural world that Zoe has created. In The Catalyst, book 3 in the series introduces us to a whole new set of characters. While revisiting some of our favorites from the first two books.
In The Catalyst we meet Z & Fiona. Z is a werepanther, who loves his solitary bachelor lifestyle. Yet, Z finds a soft spot in his heart to help an abandoned werewolf pup. Only problem is that the darn pup has run away and now Z has to track him down and he is not very happy about it. When Z finally catches up with the pup he is with a witch. A witch that can speak to animals. so Z does what any good werepanther would do. He threatens the witch into helping him, then kidnaps her.
Fiona has not go past her mailbox in years. You see Fiona suffers from Agoraphobia or a panic disorder that has left her home bound. So she knows it is a bad idea to go to the mailbox today. But when she hears a whining in her side yard she does the un-normal thing and detours to see what the noise is. That is when Fiona finds the werepup. Doing the right thing Fiona takes the pup in the house and feeds him. Next thing she knows there is a very angry werepanther has broke into her house and has her cornered.
Z and Fiona are complete opposite in every way, yet they work so well together.
If you have read Zoe’s first two books in the Preternatural series you will love Z & Fiona’s story. The Catalyst creates a whole new set of problems for the Preternaturals in and around Cary Town.
I would suggest reading this series in order.
