Title: Junkyard Cats
Author: Faith Hunter
Series: Junkyard
Cats #1
Synopsis: “After the Final War, after the appearance of the
Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing
business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than
human. And the scrapyard is no longer
just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets that she has guarded for years.
“This life she
has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous
life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane, a note to her
clutched in his fingers – a note warning her of a coming attack.
“Someone knows who she is. Someone knows what she is guarding. Will she be able to protect the
scrapyard? Will she even survive? Or will she have to destroy everything she
loves to keep her secrets out of the wrong hands?”
Review: I love Faith
Hunter’s books. Most people know her
through her Jane Yellowrock series, but I found her through her Rogue Mage
Trilogy which is still one of my favorite series of all time. One of the main reasons I love Faith Hunter’s
books is her superb character AND world building. With most authors you get one or the other,
but with Hunter you get both! I truly
feel for the characters; and can almost see, smell, and taste the world they live
in.
While reading
Junkyard Cats I kept getting pulled away to do other things, which was torturous. I was so into the characters and the story
that I just HAD to know what was going to happen next. Finally, when I got to the final 25% I put on
my noise cancelling headphones, turned off my phone, and told everyone to leave
me alone until I was done! No one will
be surprised that my favorite character was Tuffs, the alpha female cat. I loved the development of the bond between
Shining and Tuffs. My only complaint is
that Junkyard Cats is short, 106 pages on Kindle, and I wanted more.
