Rebecca Angelos has always liked animals more than people. The abandoned pets who pass through Cloverleaf Critters animal shelter understand her better even than her friends at her Friday night cocktail club. Elvis the pug never judges as he helps her swipe through dating profiles on a Saturday night, and Paul Rudd the doberman has the sweetest heart despite all he’s been through.

But when her landlord threatens to sell the building, Rebecca has just weeks to save the shelter, or watch every animal lose their home again. It seems her gift from Inga arrives just in time, until she discovers exactly what it is – the ability to hear everyone’s thoughts.

Privy to even the most critical thoughts, Rebecca feels like she’s been cursed. Until she starts to learn something she doesn’t expect. Even the most confident, put-together people battle the same inner demons. As a charming woodworker enters her life – along with two cats called AC and DC – Rebecca discovers that saving the shelter means first learning to silence her own cruel inner voice.

A heartwarming witchy tale about self-acceptance, the healing power of animals and discovering your inner strength. Perfect for fans of KF Breene, Sangu Mandanna and Iris Beaglehole.
