Stray

by Rachel Vincent

Mira | February 1, 2010 | Mass Market Paperbound

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....

    Not bad

    Alicia

    (The Chapters-Indigo website has been deleting my ratings so: I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars/leaves.)

    In general I thought this one was decent but not extraordinary.

    Good points: Faythe, the main character, showed some promising character growth during the story. This was particularly satisfying in my opinion, as she evolved as a character and matured as a direct consequence of the things that happened to her. Also well done, IMHO, was the relationship with Marc (her main love interest in the novel), as well as how strong and interesting she did turn out to be in the end.
    Bad points: Faythe, as well as her immaturity, did grate on me for a good part of the novel.

    All in all however, this one was good enough to make me pick up the sequel.

    Similar recommended titles (given here because of the weird problems I've been having with the Chapters/Indigo website and which they STILL haven't fixed):

    -Grimspace, by Ann Aguirre
    -Stardoc #1, by S.L. Viehl
    -Cry Wolf (and the prequel short story in the 'On the Prowl' collection by different authors), by Patricia Briggs
    -Stormwalker, by Allyson James
    -Dragon Bound, by Thea Harrison
    -The Shadow Reader, by Sandy Williams
    -The Demon In Me, by Michelle Rowen
    -Angels' Blood, by Nalini Singh
    -Daughter of the Blood, by Anne Bishop

    The claws come out

    This is the first book in the Shifters series and I'm suprised that I really enjoyed the book, I'm not the biggest fan of Werewolves and other shifter type books but this one was really good. There were times that the book was a little slow and Fayth sometimes got on my nerves but hey it happens. Overall a really great book with an interesting concept that makes me want to check out the other books in the series. :0)

    I was suprised that I liked this book I was unsure at first but it turned out really good, I'm going be picking up the rest of the series soon. :0)

    I really enjoyed this series. And Faythe will get under your skin even more before it is over, but it is part of her learning from her mistakes. And some of them are doozies!

    Couldn't Stop Reading the BOOK!

    I loved Stray. Faythe and Marc won me over with their werecat, kick ass attitude. Every character in this story is endearing even Ryan who ends up being the Pride's disappointment. I'm a werewolf fan but after reading Vincent's STRAY - I may actually consider werecats as my favorite! I plan to read the whole series and wait for up coming books. It was a great story.

    I absolutely loved this book! It was packed with action, suspense, romance and lots and lots of thrills. I couldn't put it down, even when I had much more important things to do.
    Faythe's character reminded me of all those other brave heroines in books like Vampire Academy, Halfway to the Grave, The Hunger Games and others. She was funny, yet serious, and always kept you hanging onto her every word.
    This was an amazing read, and I can't wait to get started on the next book!

    Great story line . But I personally found there was too much unnecessary verbal diarrhea. I must have easily passed over about a good three chapters and I didn't miss anything necessary. Over all like I said the story line is great, different outlook on things and some cool twist.
