Review:
"Arlo's Epiphany" by Jane Oldaker...
What was this novel about?
"Arlo the barncat's latest misadventure has him doubting both his vocation as a covert operative and the true sentiment of his closest friends. Will Mahoney interrupt his nap time long enough to change Arlo's mind? Or will Agent Brenda Chicken peck Arlo one time too many when he retrieves his StealthBerry causing him to turn his back forever on a brilliant secret life and career as one of the greatest feline spies history has ever known?"
What I got from this read....
"Arlo's Epiphany" was short and simple read about a cat named Arlo. This is definitely a grownup version that I felt wasn't really intended for the children due some of the language(wording) would probably be a little too difficult for them. I can see that this author has written a story of a cat that takes over 'human likenesses' and goes after the bad ones" being he is a covert operative working for the Agency. This novel, Arlo's Epiphany' will have you laughing as you are reading the descriptions of these animals and just how they get their prey. If you are a cat lover I am sure this one may get and keep your attention as this author has written such a descriptive, charming and a imaginative story. With that being said pick up 'Arlo's Epiphany" it's only thirty-five pages.
The third installment in the series "The Secret Life and Career of Arlo the Barncat" has been released!
Read about it on my Reviews with a Twist.
What I read in April 2014
May:
May probably will be a slow month reading wise for me. It is Graduation month. My husband works in a bakery and they will be super busy and will need extra help making and decorating all those cakes and cupcakes.
So, I will be spending a lot of time there helping out instead of reading and not sure how many books I will get done but hope I get them all done and if I read extra even better.
But I do have a few planned that I will read for sure. Most of them are books I won in giveaways and a couple ARCs.

Synopsis:
Molly Malone is obsessed with putting herself on the map by building a prestigious housing development. All she needs to get started is a very large wad of cash. Romance is about the last thing she would ever pencil into her overflowing diary until she encounters the breathtakingly handsome Paul Farnsworth, front man for a group of investors who might back Molly’s project.
My thoughts:
It was a nice story and I liked the idea of the story. I always like a good story about empowering women. Like Molly running, a mostly run by men business on her own and being really successful doing it. Also, finding love when you least expect it. Like I already said it is a nice story, but I found myself a bit bored half way through. The story seemed to be draw out a bit at times and also felt a bit repetitive. I didn’t care for the main character Molly as much; she seemed very bland I guess would be a word. She had two modes when she was not her bland self, extremely angry or extremely sad, almost in a depressed state. The other characters made up for her though.
Over all I give this book a 3 star rating, it was a nice story but seemed to be dragging at times.
