Catatonic: Tails of Talisman, #1

By T.M. Stark

Just one kiss to break the spell... that's all she needs.

 

Cursed by a jealous witch, Penelope Delacroix's spells are all going wrong and backfiring, creating havoc in town.

 

The vengeful witch won't quit until she siphons all of Penelope's powers.

 

And all it will take is one perfect, heartfelt kiss from Penelope's one true love to put an end to all this turmoil.

 

Shh... there's a problem. It's a secret.

 

Penelope has no idea that Dr. Lucas Collier, the compassionate local veterinarian, is in love with her. Nor does he know that she's in love with him.

 

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

 

But I know and I have to do something about it.

 

But what can I do, since I'm only her cat.

 

What?

 

Every witch has a cat.

 

I'm hers.

 

I'm Talisman.

 

And I'm going to fix this.
