Review : Shadow Cat by Reena Jacobs

[Melissa]

What a steamy read this was! This book has a very different storyline
then I am use to. Which of course I find completely refreshing! It
takes place in Malaysia. Which is a 1st for me. I loved hearing the
beautifully described tropical rain forest, full of histories and
colorful culture. The main characters are Berani who is a Whertiger,
and down to earth Eric are drawn to each other so strongly. Despite
their language barrier, they somehow found a way to communicate. I
Don’t forget Brian. I loved his flirtatious and witty personality. The
Ending was great. I loved how it draws you in, till you feel you are
there. I will leave you feeling completely satisfying. It will keep
you wanting more till the very end. What is a book with out something
to freak you out. Okay maybe not all people, but this totally got me.
The Penanggalan. Ewe. What’s that you ask? It is a nasty thing. The
only way for me to describe it would to give you a little quote from
the book. Page 62 (Nook - Normal Font) “A Penanggalan - the jinjangs
minion - the cause of so many illnesses and deaths amongst her people.
From the neck, a stringy mass of veins drooped and suspended
disemboweled organs. The lungs deflated, and a vapor drifted from it's
nose, saturating the air with a vinegary stench. A long proboscis-like
tongue slithered from its mouth and undulated like a snake as it
lapped the back of the human's head with a revolting slurp." Like I
said, Ewe. Over all I really liked this book, and would totally
recommend this to anyone willing to take a new adventure.
