Synopsis:
It’s one thing to be dealing death. It’s quite another to deal with the undead.

Kit McCafferty has never been fond of vampires but she can’t refuse the opportunity to learn more about their kind. When she is invited into the clandestine underground world of the Understream to investigate the mysterious disappearance of some giant worms, she soon discovers there is far more to the fanged creatures than she’d ever realised.

Danger, secrets and mysteries abound in every dark, twisting tunnel. Is there anyone in the depths who Kit can trust? Or will she have to rely on her wits – and her cats – alone?

Review:
“He might look like the winner on paper—but life wasn’t lived in ink and books.” (Page 107)

This book was a wonderful whirlwind from start to finish. Kit, despite her intentions, continues revealing more and more of herself beyond cat lady to preternaturals. There was a great mystery to be solved, and it is great to see that Kit has begun to see a new world for herself beyond just being in early retirement as it’s obvious she was used to keeping busy. All of the relationships had great depth; it is always especially amusing to see what happens with each new cat Kit has to engage in hair giving adventures. I absolutely loved the tie in between this Cat Lady Chronicles adventure and Squib. I cannot wait to read more in this universe.
