Benny Catspaw’s perpetually sunny disposition is tested when he loses his job, his reputation, his fiancée, and his favorite chair. He’s not paranoid. Someone is out to get him. He just doesn’t know who or why. Then Benny receives an inheritance from an uncle he’s never heard of: a giant crate and a video message. All will be well in time.

How strange―though it’s a blessing, his uncle promises. Stranger yet is what’s inside the crate. He’s a seven-foot-tall self-described “bad weather friend” named Spike whose mission is to help people who are just too good for this world. Spike will take care of it. He’ll find Benny’s enemies. He’ll deal with them. This might be satisfying if Spike wasn’t such a menacing presence with terrifying techniques of intimidation.

In the company of Spike and a fascinated young waitress-cum-PI-in-training named Harper, Benny plunges into a perilous high-speed adventure, the likes of which never would have crossed the mind of a decent guy like him.

My Thoughts:

Benny Catspaw is out of luck at the minute, he has lost his job and his fiancé and is just fed up with life right now. He knows there is someone out to get him and he cant shake off that feeling of being followed.
Benny’s luck changes when he inherits his uncles place but is it too good to be true? But when he finds a crate with his name on it, Benny could never of imagined what could be in there. Meet Spike, Benny’s new sidekick and together they will fight the world and go on great adventures together. I loved the name Benny Catspaw only because I have a cat called Benson and we call him Benny. It is my first book by Dean and I did find it hard to get into. The pace was steady to start with but does build up. It was a good strong read and I did love Spike.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
