Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Skye MacKinnon is a Scottish romance author who was raised by elves in the mystical Highlands and calls the Loch Ness monster her friend. Her bestselling books weave together romance with action, suspense and whimsical humour, creating page-turners filled with strong heroines, alpha heroes and loveable monsters.

Whether she's writing about aliens in kilts, hunky Vikings or cat shifter assassins, Skye likes to put a new spin on familiar tropes. Some of her heroines don't have to choose, some fall in love with other women, and others get abducted by clueless aliens.

Skye lives with her bossy cat on the west coast of Scotland and uses the dramatic views from her office as inspiration no matter whether she writes fantasy, paranormal or science fiction romance. Until she gets abducted by aliens, that is.

MEOWTastic!!!
So I admit - I'm a bit obsessed with Ms. MacKinnon. All of her books are really good - well-written, thoughtful, steamy - all the things I look for in a book. But this one? omg. Being a Proud Crazy Cat Lady (even though I only have one kitty of my own), I knew this book was made for me!I got into it and I was... wow'd from the start because it's not like most of Skye's normal books. It was more of a murder mystery set in a different world that was still similar enough to ours that you weren't scratching (no pun intended) your head, trying to figure everything out. Kat is an assassin, but now she's something of a PI looking to find out who.. did something naughty (I'm not spoiling, you're gonna have to read). Along the way, she makes allies with the cats of the neighborhood, gets into stuff with her employees and friends, and.. yeah - there's some romance. But it seems like it's going to be a very slow burn. Normally, I'm not in love with that... buuut.. this story is so INTERESTING that I didn't miss the naughty bits. Weird? Maybe. But it's just that good of a multigenre book.I cannot WAIT for Scratch. Cause.. while not a cliffhanger, it was.. erm, let's just say you're gonna be CLAWING for the next book!

Just loved all the cats in this book! Kat is a panther shifter, assassin and P.I. Needing to solve a murder by someone maybe better than her, she enlists all the area cats and some friends. Loved all the personalities, names, vivid locales, funny encounters, benefit negotiations for her spies, entertaining situations, surprises, twists and more that kept the pages turning. Great ending and hope the next book is out soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Felines everywhere!
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023

Meow is book one in the Catnip Assassins series. I love felines, including books that have animal cats, or characters that ARE cats(sentient). This book was great. It has a shot of suspense and mystery. The way Kat and her team go about solving her problems really leads to organic world building.

Kat is definitely one of those main characters who is a super good cat burglar/assassin (forgive the reference) and she has a dark, mysterious past. This book might feel slow to build the story but the series is set up well from here.

I can't wait to start the next book in the series. I loved the world Skye MacKinnon has built here. It's so very well-written, detailed, and exotic despite having some familiar tropes. This is a unique world, indeed. The murder investigation is well-played and interesting, and I loved the way the details of Cat's life and the city they live in developed over the course of the story.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's good, but not quite my cup of tea.
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021

I liked it. I thinks it's a good book, and maybe it's just my mood, but I had a hard time really liking the characters. It was had to empathize and understand them. This book was just a lot of "shadowed" world and plot making. Not a lot or really any character development or deep interactions. I know this all sounds harsh but I still hope you'll give this a try. Just because it's not for me doesn't mean you won't like it. There wasn't any errors that stood out to me so it was well written in that regard. I'm not sure what else to say but it was okay and still hope you give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating!

Wow what a wonderful story. There is no way that you are going to put this one down once you start. An assassin that is also a private investigator when her real work is kind of slow. An assassin, sociopath, and catnip addict, Kat, finds herself from going lone panther to surrounded by friends and a team she can trust. This is one life turned up side down, and she has no way of knowing if this is better for her or not. I absolutely fell in love with this novel and if possible I hope to be able to read the entire series. Now I am one cat lover but this novel l is much more than that. Sometimes you just can’t express it all in words, but set aside some time, get yourself some tea or hot chocolate and curl up in the corner and plan for a good old fashioned read. I highly recommend this author and I plan to read more by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Meow on Audiobook ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020

I listened to Meow on audiobook over the last week and I enjoyed this first book in the series! With all the craziness of the pandemic, I haven't been able to listen as much (no commute = no listening haha) but by making time to listen to this story after a long day working from home, I could escape for a little bit.

Story: 4.5/5 Stars

I enjoyed Kat and her "coworkers" haha and the new and 🔥🔥🔥 men that showed up and will be part of the series moving forward. I thought the concept was great and even though I am a dog person, loved all the cats and their personalities. I liked that she kept shifting and talking to them and used them as her spy network! I totally called the ending hahaha. He just was too refined to be anything other than what was revealed (no I won't say who, not gonna spoil it). I am super intrigued by the ninja human with a little extra, and always love the 2nd chance/childhood friend who becomes more trope. I cant wait to see where Skye takes this next. Great storytelling and world building. Definitely recommend!

Narration: 3.5/5 Stars

So this was my first listen of Melody Muzljakovich and I am still on the fence about adding her to my "Always Listen" list. She didnt do a horrible job, but there were things that I wasn't a fan of that sometimes took me out of the book. I thought some of her accents were amazing (like some of the "posh" ones haha), totally could see the character in my head. Some weren't so great (some of the male voices and Lily's were not as strong/my favorites). Sometimes, I got annoyed with her inflections with Kat. Like they didnt match what was happening in the story or the way she did it was overdone. I think its more a personal preference honestly. I would definitely listen to her again (and definitely if she continues her narration of this long series).

I admit it, the title got me to pick this book up some time ago. I hadn’t fully read the description though so I began it with a bit of trepidation. It’s listed as Urban Fantasy Reverse Harem and um… it’s a mouthful of a genre description. I liked the title and decided to give it a try. If there’s RH, H, or even romance, it’s probably in the later books and this one is setting up the potential – hence the ‘slow burn’ in the description – duh, me. I can’t say I minded the deferral as it allowed my reading tastes to enjoy the humor and overall fun of the book.
The world has shifters and more but otherwise appears rather normal. That is if you take assassins and thieves as normal.
It’s a fast read and focuses on the PoV of Kat (of course) a feline assassin who was trained by ‘The Pack’ but now owns her own agency.

5.0 out of 5 stars assassin with a heart
Reviewed in Canada on May 4, 2022

Kat was made an assassin by the pack and freed by a mystery man who gave her his business to run. She names her Business Meow and she gets a big case that really ends up almost blowing up in her face. She also hires the stray cats around the neighbourhood and meets up with their leader Ryker, he requests food and care for the cats. This was an action packed read with a lot going on. I liked it when she meets Lennox again after many years and then Gryphon. I can see a lot happening with Kat and her friends. I would recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purr-tastic assassin
Reviewed in Australia on March 10, 2019

Meow is the newest book by Skye MacKinnon, and an absolute purr-tastic, meow-larious and claw-ver read.

Kat is a strong badass panther shifter, who’s an assassin and PI. Her team aka Pride, is made up of a team of outcast assassins and ragtag thieves, who work for Kat’s business M.E.O.W.

The banter between and Lily is hilarious and helps so show the depth of friendship early on in the story.

This urban fantasy reverse harem is filled with action, crime, secrets and of course cats, cats and more cats. There’s so many quotes and one liners in this book, that I felt like I was highlighting half the book.

I highly recommend the first book in the Catnip Assassins series and can’t wait for the future books - Scratch and Purrr.

Side note: I love the reader input that has occurred with some of the names of characters and items 💖

I enjoyed this book!
It took a while to get into it, but I did enjoy it!
Kat, a cat shifter, is an assassin. She escapes from The Pack and forms her own Team (Meow), with the aid of a benefactor - who was her mark, but offered her an escape route which includes a house and money.
An intriguing mystery novel, full of action.
A great read!
