STRAY

There are only eight breeding female werecats left . . . And I'm one of them

I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.

Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.

I'd been warned about Strays -- werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.

This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back . . . for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever -- and whoever -- I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays -- 'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them . . .

I just finished this book and absolutely loved it! It took me about a week to finish, and not because it was long, but because I started reading it in-between renovations, getting my daughter back to school, and having hubby home on holidays. Still, every spare minute I got, I pretty much spent reading Faythe's story.

I loved the rawness of this story. A lot of uncomfortable themes and things happened in this book, but Rachel Vincent had her characters dealing with everything in a realistic and honest way. Every action had a consequence, just like it does in real life.

Rachel has created a fascinating and tough as nails werecat society hidden amongst the humans. One that's filled with rules, laws, and characters that'll keep me going back for the next installments. Speaking of which, I do belief that ROGUE will be the next book I pick up. :)

Give this series a go, it's interesting, unique, and very, very well written.
