Mass Market Paperback: 618 pages
Genre: Adult
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 . . . (Source)
Review
STRAY, by Rachel Vincent, is the fantastic beginning to her Shifter's series. This adult series provides immense action, romance, and girl-power that will knock your socks off.
As a fan of Vincent's Soul Screamers series, I just had to read more of her work. This series started off on a very positive note for me. I loved Faythe as an overall character. Although at times I could not sympathize with her wanting to be on her own (with all those men looking for attention, I would have stuck around! :) ), but she was very honest in her beliefs and fought tooth and nail for them.
The love triangle between Faythe, Jace, and Marc was wicked steamy. I had it figured from the beginning who she was going to end up with, but I patiently read through the hot (hot!) situations until Faythe realized it for herself.
I enjoyed getting to experience a different type of shifter. I have never read about Werecats before and I liked getting to read the creativity that Vincent put into her history and culture of these creatures.
The villians in this book were absolutely dispicable. Some villians are "bad" but Vincent truly created some nasty, sick men. The things that these guys did to women brought out strong emotions of hate and anger out of me, and I think that truly reflects the talent that Vincent possesses. The scenes between the villians and victims were very graphic and I felt strong pity for these girls, but they were very real and I appreciated that because it made the victories a cause for celebration.
I am excited to continue this series, and it is one that I do recommend!
