The Kat Trap by Cairo
Strebor Books, May 2009
368 Pages, Paperback, $15.00
ISBN:
1593092288
Genre:
Street Fiction
RAW Rating: 4.5 (out of 5)
Despite a rough childhood, Katrina, known as "Kat", is achieving success her way. Kat owns expensive clothes and jewelry and drives the hottest cars. She learned early in life to take care of herself since her mother cared more for the men in her life than she did her own child. Kat is a highly paid assassin with a unique way of trapping her targets. She manages to keep her career a secret from family and friends. However, when her private life collides with her day-to-day life, the results may be deadly.
This is my first book by Cairo, but it won't be my last. Written with the gritty realism of street life, THE KAT TRAP is a page-turner. Kat's character is strong-willed and focused which is good for her chosen profession. Yet, she is soft enough to still unwind with friends and desire the love she seeks from her mother. The only thing I felt the plot lacked is more interaction between her and a budding love interest. There was also quite a bit of gratuitous sex, which pushed the novel towards the erotica genre. Lovers of urban literature will be captivated by this one.
