Stray (Shifters, #1) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

Once I got past the parallels to Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld Series (Mainly revolving with Clay and Elena) I found I enjoyed the book. Faythe has flaws, is young, and wants something more from her life than just baring babies and being a wife. I respect that. At times she was childish, but she did grow in the book, and that's what I like to see in my characters.

I want the next one...wonder what happened to the other bloke :O

This is the first book I ...more
