Faythe wants out.
She negotiated four years of college from her father, but now he wants her back home. Sounds like a typical family dispute, but Faythe’s life is more complicted. She is a werecat.
In Rachel Vincent’s first novel, werecats have pretty much divided up the North American territory. Each area is run by a family or pride. Rachel is one of a handfull of female werecats, called tabbies that exist. Apparently each family only gives birth to one daughter per generation.
The problem is, the tabbies are disappearing. Faythe herself is attacked at college, but manages to get away. Faythe is called home by her father. She races to find out who is behind the kidnappings in order to obtain her freedom.
This book was hard to get into. A lot of the first part of the book was taken up with the angsty on againg, off again relationship between Faythe and Marc, one of her father’s enforcers. n I almost gave up on this, several times. By the end of the book, though, the action (and sorytelling) had picked up.
This novel is far more of a paranormal romance. How fitting that it be published by Mira, a branch of Harlequin Romance.
I may pick up the second one, I haven’t decided yet.
