A bond so strong that the gate to Rainbow Bridge can't hold it back.
As veterinarian Michelle Catalano helps other people's ailing animals earn their angel wings, she tries not to think about the empty cat perch in her own home. Or the empty side of her bed, grown cold since her boyfriend left town.
Then a pet psychic's uncannily accurate reading leaves Michelle with more questions than the answers she thought were set in stone. And warnings so dark, she wishes she still had her cat at her side to cuddle the fear away.
When a brutal murder devastates Michelle and her family, the detective working the case is her only anchor. And soon, she's turning to Bruce for the comfort that could heal her broken heart.
But there are too many unanswered questions about the killer, causing Michelle to secretly investigate on her own. Will Michelle's search for answers spell her doom, or deliver help from the animal afterlife above?

Kim Cano has written one of the most unique and intriguing books that I've read in a long time! I'm not crazy about cats (well, animals in general inside the home because of my allergies); but I do appreciate the bond that forms between an animal and their person.
Michelle's profession is one that piqued my interest. She is compassionate and ensures that only the good memories are left behind as pets cross the Rainbow Bridge. She experiences all the emotions that accompany the procedures; but is professional, too.
After losing her boyfriend, her beloved cat, and now a close family member, Michelle is forced to face a difficult time in her life that seems to help bring her more to life. She becomes involved in the investigation while simultaneously trying to keep her life moving forward on a personal and professional level.
Being a firm believer that we are all given things we need exactly when we need them, I quickly became wrapped up in this story. I felt the pain of loss as well as happiness in the gains that Michelle and several other characters find throughout the book.
This book is very well-balanced in the animal/cat aspect of the storyline, as well as the romance and mystery/investigation. All of the characters stand out and can be visualized as real, every day people. Once I got to the part of Michelle's interaction with the pet psychic, I knew I wouldn't be able to put this book down. The pace keeps your heart turning with each page, curious and anxious.
Kim Cano easily earns a 5-Star rating on this title -- absolutely in the top 5 books I've read this year!
