This book was one of those books that you stay up most of the night reading. It was a great, suspense filled start to what looks like a great series.Even though Grace speaks to animals, she doesn't make a big deal out of it, which I really liked. Sure, she's self-conscious about it, but if you could you would probably be that way, too. I loved that most people who knew about it didn't make a huge deal about it either, and the fact that when she tells Kai, he doesn't believe her. It makes his character more realistic, because if someone told me they could talk to animals I wouldn't believe it either.The mystery was fast-paced filled with bribes and genuine whodunit moments. I had an idea of who the killer would be when we first met them but I didn't have a clue about the killer's accomplice until it was revealed at the end.The animals didn't talk in huge, intellectual sentences. Each animal was still an animal and talked like one, getting distracted at different things happening around them. This made the psychic aspect of the book more believeable, also.Overall an amazing book with great characters, a good settings, and laugh-out-loud moments, I'll be buying the next one. This book grabbed me from the beginning with its humor and writing style. I enjoyed the main character, Grace Wilde and her ability to talk to animals with her mind. Grace works as an animal behavior specialist. Her ability to communicate with animals using simple words and images helps to calm the animal or to find out why it is acting out. She is called in to help calm down Jax, a doberman who may have witnessed his owners death. By communicating with Jax, she learns that the suspect they have in custody was not the murderer and in order to save him she must convince the police without letting on that the dog told her!
