Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrid
Review: Is it me, or do all these women writers for teenage erotic novels sound the same? Maybe it's all written by the same people! Or maybe it's capitalism that drives them or something.

This little ditty is about a new girl who has found out that she has powers beyond belief (wow). She can turn into a cat! And not just any cat either, it's the big ones. Oh yeah, and there's a subplot about her inner desires. This story echoes so much to L.J. Smith far more superior (but still inferior) "The Secret Circle" mini-series in the fact that there are the *exclusive* group of people with *power* and then there are the outsiders. And there's the protagonist that's both insider and outsider. But the "Year of the Cat" is so conrived from another contrived story (it's like Stone Temple Pilots ripping off Pearl Jam ripping off old seventies bands) that it's sickening.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Type of books I love to read!!!
Review: This book is for you if you like suspense, things out of the ordinary and an unexpected twist of romance. When I read these books I feel like I'm part of the story and I'm able to see what it feels like to be different but yet belong to a group. This book is similar to the trilogy The Secret Circle by L. J. Smith. When I read the Secret Circle by L. J. Smith I didn't think I would find a similar book or series, but I have The Year of The Cat books by Zoe Daniels. So now both of these trilogy's are my absolute favorite

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a book for all people
Review: This book was a book I enjoied very much. I recomend it for ages 10 and up. Even though I am only 14 I and very mutare for my age. I have been mistaken for my mother and I have been mistaken for a 16 year old. I make good grads and I am known for giveing good advice to my friends. This book is perfact for people who like all kinds of books. It has a hint of Non-Fiction, a romantic atmasphere, full of action and suspence. I am sure its a book you would love to read over and over again. Because I sure did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Book If you Can Imagine A Little
Review: This is a fun book. I would reccomend it to anyone that likes either cats, is interested in cults, or romance novels.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining Lisa Jane Smith Knock-Off
Review: This trilogy had the makings of a super-cheesy Lisa Jane Smith clone. Year of the Cat? The back cover teaser reads, "In the quiet town of Los Gatos, love stalks the night like a cat-and lashes out with its claws.." Gack..how pathetic! But since LJ Smith isn't writing any new novels, I decided I would soldier through this book.

Wow! Pleasantly surprised. While skirting through scenes that are frightenly similar to LJ Smith's The Circle and Vampire Diaries Trilogies, it still managed to hold onto its own flavor. Suspense-filled and mysterious, this first book of the series holds tightly to its secrecy and leaves the reader guessing. An intriguing bit of Egyptian magic and mythology creeps in near the end. Definately a promising start to this trilogy! It doesn't match up to Smith, but for fans starved for a new tale, this will suffice nicely.
