It all started harmlessly enough. An egged window, a deflated car tire, and a few garden gnomes knocked over. But then, the silent calls began–late nights and early mornings to landlines and mobiles, and numbers that no one should have access to.

JD Kirk blows me away every time! Heathers a story is awesome, well thought out well written, and just spellbinding. I never wanted to put it down! I was not loving the narrator. I will say that the story was so fantastic that she began to fall into the background, my irritation with her. Honestly, I am spoiled by Angus king, but I feel that there could be a better narrator for Heather and her stories going into the future! Bravo 0JD Kirk! When is the next one coming out?

I absolutely loved this book! Some of the human characters are typical but if you loved the art of racing in the rain and any stories is truly brilliant animals, you will love this book! No spoiler here, but I cried at the end and I was sitting on an airplane and I was not even embarrassed. This is a great heartwarming book. You need to feel good this is it!
