Silje Nordstrom, a Norwegian cat shape
shifter, has just transferred to the New York office of
Department 57 and is beginning her life all over again –
literally. As an experienced Talent, Silje is given a new
case to work on – a designer drug being distributed out of a
sex club that isn’t good for Talents. Silje comes from an old
fashioned and sexually strict family so just walking into the
male strip club is unusual for her. Her blood really heats up
as she watches the main attraction.
Devante and Aristides are Brazilian shape
shifters who have come to New York to find out who is
developing and selling the drug. Their act is hot, hot, hot.
They seem to only see each other as they dance and seduce on
stage, but looks can be deceiving. Devante and Aristides
never mingle like the other acts, but after spotting Silje
they make sure she and her friends know about their extra
activities.
Devante and Aristides agree to do a
private dance for Silje, only they discover that they are all
seeking the same thing, just from different angles and for
different reasons. That night Silje discovers that there are
many sides to Devante, Aristides and herself. Now they are
all working together with her team, they have to decide who is
telling the truth and how the club fits into the selling of
drugs. Silje has even more to work on, like how two men she
just met can mean so much to her and what it will mean for all
of them. When betrayal happens and Devante is hurt, Silje
must make a decision - one that could deal an ending blow to
the lovers.
Cat’s Eyes is seductive and scorching hot. Now that I have
that out of the way I will tell you how I really felt… Being a
follower of the Department 57 stories, I have waited for Silje’s story and I’m so glad she was given mates that brought
out her sensual nature. Devante and Aristides were lovers
before they came to New York but they immediately seemed to
know that Silje would complete them in a way that would bring
them all to a level of happiness none of them had known
before. Devante and Aristides are comfortable with themselves
and are determined to help Silje not only with her case but
with understanding just what they have. Unlike the previous
Department 57 stories, Cat’s Eyes
focused more on Silje finding and discovering just how
naturally sensuous she was rather than the actual ops. I read
Cat’s Eyes
in one sitting and my only disappointment was when I turned
the last page and found the end of the story. The final
bonding had me holding my breath and hoping for them. Cat’s Eyes
is one of those books that gives you shivers, the good kind,
with characters that were warm and loving, even while
completing an ops that could have cost them everything. I
loved Ms. Connelly’s latest addition to her Department 57
books and I can say nothing more except that for me Cat’s Eyes
is Joyfully Recommended. |
