Description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman who runs a cat rescue in 1920s Montréal turns to a grouchy but charming magician to help save her shelter in this heartwarming cozy fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Wilde series.
“Absolutely magnificent! Full of cats and magic, this is the kind of book you want to instantly reread. I loved every character, every cat, and every moment with all my heart!”—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop.
Agnes Aubert leads a meticulously organized life, and she likes it that way. As the proudly type-A manager of a cat rescue charity, she has devoted her life to finding forever homes for stray cats.
Now it’s the shelter that needs a new home. And the only landlord who will rent a space to a cat rescue is a mysterious man called Havelock—who also happens to be the world’s most infamous magician, running an illegal magic shop out of his basement. Havelock is cantankerous and eccentric, but not not handsome, and no, Agnes absolutely does not feel anything but disdain for him. After all, rumors swirl about his shadowy past—including whispers that his dark magic once almost brought about the apocalypse.
Then one day a glamorous magician comes looking for Havelock, putting the magic shop—and the cat shelter—in jeopardy. To save the shelter, Agnes will have to team up with the magician who nearly ended the world . . . and may now be trying to steal her heart.
Havelock is everything Agnes thinks she doesn’t need in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers that he’s more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue—and romance—in her life. After all, second chances aren’t just for rescue cats. . . .
My Thoughts: Widowed Agnes Aubert runs a cat rescue organization in Montreal. She has a problem. Since a magical attack that made her building uninhabitable, she has been looking for a new rental within her budget for a new shelter. She's excited when she finds a new place at a too-good-to-be-true rent but snaps up the deal.

My Thoughts: Widowed Agnes Aubert runs a cat rescue organization in Montreal. She has a problem. Since a magical attack that made her building uninhabitable, she has been looking for a new rental within her budget for a new shelter. She's excited when she finds a new place at a too-good-to-be-true rent but snaps up the deal.
However, she starts to notice strange visitors to the shop and soon becomes suspicious about her absent landlord. She really hates magicians for what they have done and especially hates Havelock Renard because he is called the Witch King and might have cast the spell that almost annihilated everything.
She is surprised to learn that her landlord is Havelock and that he is not at all like he has been portrayed. He's absent minded and messy which is a sin to Agnes's Type A personality. He is also in a battle with his sister who wants a book she's sure Havelock has which will let her actually annihilate the world.
Behind finding homes for street cats and reorganizing Havelock's shop, the two fall in love. But they will have to find a way to defeat not only Havelock's sister but the police who want to root out all magic and magicians in Montreal.
This story is perfect for the cat lover since there are many cats with many personalities in the story. It is also a great story for fans of romantacy since it has a sweet romance the grows as the danger threatens all that Agnes and Havelock love.
