Book Review: The 12 Kittens of Christmas by Amy Lane

The 12 Kittens of Christmas
by Amy Lane (Hoopla eBook only)

Meet Killian Thornton. Works as a bartender at night and enjoys his job, his friends, and his downtown community. Then a friend’s younger brother, Lewis Bernard, is in from out of town and needs a couch to sleep on as he gets back on his feet and considerate Killian offers his.

 

But everywhere Lewis goes, he stumbles across abandoned kittens who need homes. And all the shelters are full (the why of this is explained later in the book). Killian can’t refuse the ever-growing population of sweet kitten faces since the only other option is euthanasia. Soon his apartment looks like a pet shop.

 

Along the way he and Lewis are building a relationship.

 

We also have a short crossover with characters from Lane’s “Fish” series. You will be able to follow the crossover, but it will mean so much more if you are familiar with that series (if not, then begin with book 1, “Fish Out of Water,” Hoopla ebook).

 

Likeable characters with good friends, adorable pets needing homes before Christmas, and an HEA (Happily Ever After). Oh, yes – all the kittens find homes. A fun afternoon’s read.
