Stray (Shifters, Book 1)
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....

I've got mixed feelings about this book. I really wanted to like it because with some of my fave series coming to an end, I was looking for another PNR series to get caught up in. I think I'm still looking. In spite of all the other reviews complaining about the length of the book, I didn't mind. I like it when an author spends a little more time in the first book setting up the world building and character development of main characters. Unfortunately, as much as I liked the plot (foreign strays kidnapping US tabbies), I didn't much care for most of the characters.
In a PNR, a reader expects a certain amount of sexual sizzle. Unfortunately, there was simple little to none of that - a whopping 1star on my sizzle factor, which was kind of good because the two romantic interests for Faythe were not all that appealing - at least to me. If I HAD to pick one, I would say I lean more towards team Jace than team Marc. Marc was a big fat ZERO to me.
Anyway, with absolutely boring love triangle, I actually got more into the story. After reading the summary for the second book, I doubt I will read it. If the author had chosen to focus more continue the story started in book one (going after the SA Alphas), I might have chosen to read it just to find out how that whole story arc ended.
Once again, I probably won't continue with series - unless I'm really bored and have nothing else to read.
