  <default_description>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.


&lt;i&gt;Please Note: This book is written in first person.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[America is divided into different territories where Prides are calling the shots, each Pride has an alpha leader and a lot of male tomcats. But the female tabbies are the ones that are rare and very valuable to the pride, so they are protected at any cost.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first book in Rachel's werecat series, and a bookseller recommended that I read them in order when I was picking up Prey. I can understand her reasoning, as this book introduces Faythe's history and the main players, while still standing alone as a good story.<br/><br/>Faythe is the on...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64799530">more...</a>]]></body>

I finally picked it up and I was determined to finish it because I've heard so many good things about this series.<br/><br/>It starts with a young woman who is at college.

    <body><![CDATA[There are so many urban fantasy series out there with a tough heroine more often than not trying to prove something to the world or herself. Faythe, the werecat turned student, actually has my attention in this believable action-packed story about a young werecat trying to make a place for herself i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59949807">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed the writing for the most part.   The plot line really kept this book going for me. There were a few times where the scenery was over described  and one part in particular near the end where the conflict was halted for too much explanation of what was to come. Overall, the book has a nice f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58917983">more...</a>]]></body>
