Stray

Shifters, Book 1

By: Rachel Vincent

Narrated by: Jennifer Van Dyck

"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) that are 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."

Found myself screaming at the computer.

Would you try another book from Rachel Vincent and/or Jennifer Van Dyck?

Probably not.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Different heroine whose emotions matches her circumstances. She just seemed not to think anything through. Some parts of the story were clichéd, some just downright 'convenient' for the storyline. Some of the heroine's reactions made me think she was still in grade school.

Which character – as performed by Jennifer Van Dyck – was your favorite?

Lucas - he was mostly believable.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NO.

Amazing, simply amazing!

Twilight, Watch out! If Rachel gets a movie deal, she is going to blow you out of the water!!!!! There was only one problem with the novel... It had an end.... I'm going into withdrawal for the next book... oh Mr free credit, please come soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A filler while you are waiting

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The reader is a good one but a little too old style for the role. The story was slow in the beginning but picks up in the middle. I do not like rape in stories so that took away from the enjoyment. When I out of good options I will listen to the next one.

pulled me in
