Colt Harper hates it when you pat a cat the wrong way, or when you upload their faux pas to YouTube. In fact, he'll probably kill you for it.

As a self-proclaimed master vampire cat, Colt never imagined he'd be sent to community service at a revolting community theater. And for what? Killing humans who don't buy the expensive brand of cat food? Talk about unfair.

Still, working with a nervous werewolf and a monster addicted to tickling wasn't on his to-do list.

What's worse, is he's falling for a human. Sure, she has green eyes. Sure, she fosters stray cats. But she's still a disgusting human.

So why is he risking his own life to save her from the chasers?

5.0 out of 5 stars Vampire Cats!
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

There are many things to like about this first Colt Harper installment; a new vampire concept, relentless wry humor interspersed with things any cat owner would recognize, and an interesting backdrop universe where the action takes place. I especially enjoyed the many small obscure jests and references. Tyrolin Puxty is one of those authors who I would love to have a leisurely conversation with, as I am certain it would be hugely entertaining.

As the first book in a series the stage is being set for the sequels, although the book does present a standalone story which is mostly complete by the last page.

I rate this book a solid 4.5, based on the FCP book review standard. Priced at $2.99 on Amazon Kindle, this is a very good value and punches well above its weight.

I learned of the book through Veracious Readers Only!, and bought my own copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't think that I've ever read anything quite like this before. 3-1/2 Stars for me.

It's rather unique. In addition to the Hero (?) being a "Vampire Cat", there were some other interesting supernatural species that the Author created. The World--although a bit confusing--was creative. The writing was fine, the plot was kind of choppy but fast-paced, and the humor was snarky. I can't really say that I liked the main characters, but they were intriguing.

Being someone who appreciates felines, I found this book interesting. The ending was OK, but leaves things open for additional books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018

I was disappointed in this one. I bought it hoping it would at least be funny. And it tried. There was an attempt at snarky humor. But compared to some of the other books I have read lately by authors who are masters of snarky humor, it was mostly pretty weak. The quality of the humor did improve somewhat about halfway through the book, however.

The idea was good; I can see where there is a lot of possibility for a vampire cat. However, a lot of the potential positives of the situation were negated by the fact that Colt Harper, the vampire cat, was possessing a human form throughout the story.

None of the characters was particularly sympathetic. Colt is insufferably arrogant as well as gratuitously violent. This is not particularly out of character for a cat. But even when he is supposedly becoming more sympathetic, he isn’t really very nice. Saffy, the supposedly human who turns out to be half vampire cat herself is almost more annoying than Colt once her vampire cat nature is revealed. Most of the other characters are just lame.

Colt Harper: Esteemed Vampire Cat (Colt Harper #1) by Tyrolin Puxty is a hilarious novel that is full of wit and snarky humor! I got this novel from Curiosity Quills and the review is voluntary. The book had me right away with the insane antics of the vampire cat and how he has to do community service, again. He has borrowed a 'meat suit' of a man and will have to help with a community theater. Working with a werewolf, he also comes across other monsters. It is so funny. How this author can make something so unremarkable into something so absolutely fabulously funny is amazing! Every paragraph is sprinkled with wit and humor. Loved it! So crazy and unexpected. This book was a true delight!

I like the urban fantasy genre and this is a good one. It was not perfect but Colt was a very interesting character to follow. An interesting twist on the supernatural in the modern world.

I'm a huge fan of Tyrolin's Broken Dolls series so I was excited to jump into this. She did not disappoint. Her characters are so colorful, witty, and charming. Tyrolin has a unique style that is completely all her own. While this was a short book it was a great read. So if you want something fun to read on a rainy evening I would suggest picking up this book.

Interesting premise for the story but I must say I found it a bit difficult to follow in places. The emotions were either quite flat or very much all over the place. Nonetheless 4 stars for keeping me entertained.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's darkly funny but means that the slow turn through the book ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
Colt Harper is a Vampire Cat and the last of his species. If he doesn't want to spend the rest of forever in Hell, for killing people, he has to pay his dues doing community service in a theatre. Throw in a some other supernaturals paying the same penance and a group of female killers whose sole purpose is to hunt them down and Colt Harper finds himself in the unusual position of risking his own life for others, something he has been carefully avoiding for centuries. Not to mention the strange lady he has become unusually attracted to.

This is a part comedy, part supernatural story with its tongue firmly in cheek. Colt Harper is an unlikeable jerk, who cannot help but kill people for mistreating cats, even when it's inconvenient. It's darkly funny but means that the slow turn through the book to try and redeem him doesn't work as well as might. The side characters are more interesting for the times they appear and provide a fun contrast to Colt Harper. Having said that, the story rattles along, writing is quick and snappy and the situations get more and more absurd as the book rolls on. It's a book for if you are in the mood for a supernatural parody.
