For He Can Creep, by Siobhan Carroll

For He Can CreepFor He Can Creep by Siobhan Carroll

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


For He Can Creep hits a soft spot for me as for many others, since it is a cat story. I am not sure cats are so fearless and proud as they are often portrayed--they are prey as well as predators, and wary that way. Ours are very comfortable souls, they might stalk bugs but their killer nature is mostly under control. But on to the story. Joffrey is indeed a proud cat soul, taking on demons on behalf of the sad denizens of an 18th century madhouse. He and his companions (Nighthunter Moppet is the true killing machine) take on Satan in a contest for the soul of Joffrey's owner.

It's a good story, fun to read, but very typical of a cat story. We cat lovers celebrate their nature and can be a bit blind to it. Definitely read it for the cats.
