Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Revelations (2016) Lydia Sherrer (The Lily Singer Adventures)

Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: RevelationsBook two finds Lily wanting to learn more about her family.

Also, her cat decides to imbue himself with magic.

Returning to her patch of sunlight and pile of papers, she was horrified to find Sir Kipling licking the clay fragment.

“Stop that! Shoo, shoo!” Lily hurried over and Sir Kipling, knowing he was in trouble, fled to relative safety underneath her desk.

I quite enjoyed the magical talking cat.

“I told you, cats go where they please.”

“No, they don’t. They’re governed by the laws of nature and physics.”

“But you’re a cat. How would you know anything about robberies?” Lily asked, arching an eyebrow.

“Well, you’re a human. How would you know anything about cats?” he shot back.

“Because I have one.”

“And yet you clearly don’t understand them. Why do you think some robbers are called cat burglars?”

I have to admit, talking cats as intriguing, since they are such mercurial creatures, and one often wonders what goes through their heads. (I still want to know what would cause our Large Primary Cat to stare fixedly over my shoulder at the last house we rented before our current home.)

Like the previous book, there were two episodes, with an interlude, the episodes being Lily’s POV and the interlude being Sebastian’s POV.

I’ll he honest, I like Sebastian a tiny bit better than Lily. He’s got a bit of trickster in him, which is always entertaining, and despite our glimpses into his life, he is still a bit of a mystery.

Even if he is always tardy.

Six o’clock came and went with no sign of Sebastian. Lily wasn’t worried— she’d given him a good half hour of wiggle time. When he pulled up at 6: 23, she almost smiled. Predictably late people were much easier to plan around than unpredictably on-time ones.

It was fun and intriguing and I’m looking forward to the next book.
