Review: Stray by Rachel Vincent

Stray (Shifters, #1)

This book was borrowed from a friend.


SUMMARY:
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 . . .

REVIEW:
Before finding Jess' book collection, the only Rachel Vincent books I had known of were the Soul Searchers.  When I discovered this series, I couldn't wait to read it.  Of course, life and other books got in the way and everyone else finished the series before I could even get started on the first.
Now that I have read and finished Stray, I intend to finish the entire series as soon as possible.  I began reading this book while in the grips of a reading slump, but the well written plot and characters had me hooked in no time.
I loved everything about this book and really had no complaints.  I definitely plan to check out more Rachel Vincent books in the future.

MEMORABLE QUOTES:

FAVORITE CHARACTER:
Marc and Faythe.

RATING:
4.5 MOONS.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

  1. I have the first two books in this series on my shelf and have yet to read them. I'm so glad to hear that it is well worth the read.

    Thanks for the great review, can't wait to see what you think of the rest of the series.
