About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Up-and-comer Ashley Branson usually aims to keep both feet placed firmly on the ground—unless she's instructing a class at her trendy cat yoga studio. But she soon finds herself caught in a downward spiral when a stretch beyond her comfort zone leads to murder . . .
Ashley Branson is sure of one thing after experiencing a disastrous blind date—she would much rather enjoy the single life and hang out with playful felines at her studio, A Purrfect Pose, than ever compromise her inner peace like that again. When the mysterious guy makes a late arrival then has the nerve to dine and dash, it's embarrassing. But when he winds up dead in his apartment that same night? Ash suddenly finds herself thrust into a twisted murder investigation and questioning if she might be shaping up to be the suspect . . . or the next victim.
Ash races to claw through a web of lies, hidden identities, and love lives even more complicated than her own to uncover the truth. Adding to the chaos, she believes her shifty neighbor—covered in unexplained injuries and rumored to harbor a crush on her—could be connected to the crime. Now, with more leads than she needs, Ash must take a deep breath, pull on her big-girl leggings, and move faster than the cunning killer who wants to put her in corpse pose for good . . .
My Review
The last thing Ashley Branson wants is a blind date, but thanks to her best friend, Sierra, she agrees to it. It starts off in a bad way when her date is very late. When he finally gets there, he disappears leaving her holding the check. That’s not even the worst of it. The man is found dead later that same night and suddenly she finds herself a suspect. She didn’t even know the guy.
Ash has her hands full keeping her cat yoga studio up and running. She doesn’t have time to be investigating a murder. However, she has no choice since she is a suspect, and somebody could be after her. Could she be the next victim?
This is the second book in the series and I’m loving it. Of course, being a cat lover, I’m partial to all books featuring felines. In this series, Ash runs a yoga class, and each participant gets their own cat to assist them. There’s, also, the potential for kitty adoption.
Ash is surrounded by a wonderful supporting cast which includes her entire family. I appreciate the closeness she shares with them while still being at odds with her mother. This gives us a well-developed storyline which could run throughout the series.
It’s an intriguing plot which kept me up late at night reading. The author kept me guessing to the end. I enjoyed this one even more than the first one.
There is no cliffhanger as the mystery is solved in this book. I do recommend reading the first book before this one just to get to know Ash and the rest of the cast a little better.
The author has won me over and I’ll be looking forward to the next book. I’ll also be checking out this author’s backlist. It looks like I’ll have many hours of fun reading to catch up on.
