A girl. A cat. An inseparable bond. Is there a killer on the loose? Is it feline or human? Aren’t all girls part feline? Joyce Carol Oates always writes the eeriest, scariest stories, and this one has a terrifyingly satisfying ending.

nice

The plot twist was not what I was expecting. Great story though I found it to be very repetitive. 4/5

Wow what a wild ride this one was!

Mia's family has broken apart.. her parents have split. She becomes friends with the stay cats and takes one of the kittens home to look after she names her Miao Dao. But another predator joins in the family... her mother's new boyfriend who is very touchy feely. Luckily nothing happens to Mia but the stepfather is a predator to say the least to the fact her mother asks if he has ever touched her.

Miao Dao is her friend the one who keeps her going and the one who will always be there.

With a shock twist ending that I did not see coming it's a great one!
