Here’s the story rundown. Faythe is a werecat gone to college to seek out a normal life. Her pride however, has been watching her. This is a good thing because when she’s attacked by a stray, things get a little hairy.
Wow, doesn’t that sound like a TV blurb? Or maybe a movie preview? I should’ve started out with
“In a world…”
But I don’t have the large booming voice to pull that off.
All kidding aside, Stray is Rachel Vincent’s first time out and it’s a good introduction. For those of you who like the spunk of Anita Blake you’ll like Faythe, the ever strong, miss independent. But unlike Anita, Faythe doesn’t carry her chip on her shoulder. She knows when to let down her hair and cast the tough act aside. Certainly this is a good thing right? We never like it when a man doesn’t just chill.
The book is a good read, a little sharper on the action and is reminiscent of Kim Harrison and Kelley Armstrong who both put appearances on the front and back covers. The book is one of those “tween” styles. It’s not quite romance, but it’s not exactly not romance either. I would call it a good story with teeth. It’s fun, fast past and the characters are interesting.
You’ll find a nice diversion from your typical paranormal romance and again, I wouldn’t exactly call this a paranormal romance.
In any case, I’d read it again and am planning to buy Vincent’s new book Rogue and the upcoming Pride.
