<strong>Review from Ceci Wong,</strong>  </p>
<p>I just finished reading Bloodlines-Touch Not the Cat last night and WOW&#8230;what twists and turns and surprises&#8230;but oh, so much more to be revealed</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very well written, the parallel story lines and character  development.<br />
There were so many twists  and turns in the story, I couldn&#8217;t put it down and kept wanting to read  more. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to reading the sequel where even more  of the story will be revealed!  Having been through Scotland recently, I  enjoyed the book even more because I felt like I could be right there in  the story with the characters wherever they went.</p>
