Spell Cat
Ratings2
Average rating3.5
When Killian Barth, history professor, meets Blaine Genneau, quantum physicist, they ignite their own big bang. But sadly, Killian walks away. He doesn't do physics professors. In fact, he doesn't do humans, because Killian is the most powerful male witch in 10 generations and, though gay, he's expected to save his declining race by reproducing. He can't even have sex with Blaine, because he's been taught that sex with humans depletes his power. But if that's true, why can young human, Jimmy Janx, dissolve spoons with a thought? Somebody's a lying witch. With his powerful cat familiar, Aloysius, on his shoulder, Killian brings lightning against deceit and greed to save Blaine from danger and prove love is the greatest power of them all.

This is not a good book, although it kept my attention. I don't think I'll read this author again. It has all the kinds of disrespectful jokes and insensitivity that I hate; for example, Killian thinks the fact that he's gay is a genetic flaw, which is just a sidenote to everything else. There is also a running joke about how the cat is bisexual and a “whore.” Surprisingly, it's not too bad in its treatment of women.
Aside from those kinds of things, the plot was vague. I don't understand how certain secrets were kept for so long. I also never got the impression that Killian actually cared about Blaine in the same way that Blaine cared about him - like, being concerned about how Blaine actually felt. Killian keeps walking away from Blaine, yet he never thinks, “This must be painful for Blaine.” Yeah, I didn't enjoy this book.
Trigger warning: There is a detailed scene of sexual assault (not between the main couple). Killian consents to a specific sex act with someone, and the guy forcefully does things Killian did not agree to.
