Stray by Rachel Vincent

Stray (Shifters, #1)

by Rachel Vincent

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....

Faythe looks like an undergrad. Well, that's cause she is, but her normal life is interrupted by a summons to return to her family home. She's a werecat and while there are a fair number of males there are very few females, without females they don't have a chance of reproduction. Several of these rare females are going missing and it looks like Faythe is next on the list.

When she returns to the pride she finds that her minder is her former fiance. There's still a frisson of interest between the two of them.

I did enjoy the read and look forward to more in this series.
