And I'm one of themI look like an all-American grad student. There are only eight breeding female werecats left. I read Bitten first and ADORED it, so upon stumbling across mention of Stray, I took one glance and knew there was pretty much no way I wouldn't enjoy it. Thus:-Women are RARE among her kind (and she's highly valued for breeding)-She is trying to escape her group of fellow-shifters and have a 'normal' life by living away from them and dating a Human-She's hiding her true identity from the Human-She has a former lover back amongst her peers-Her former lover was not born a shifter he was changed by one of her kind and eventually accepted in with her peers-He's a super hot, super-manly (ha) hunk-She's forced back into living with her peers-.Where she and former flame rehash things.-In one of her books, she gets abducted-In another of her books, she must deal with others who can change into the same animal as her but are not part of her group they're causing problems, killing people and such-She's a stubborn, ass-kickerWhat book do you think I'm talking about?Yes, it sounds like Kelley Armstrong's Bitten, doesn't it?But, no, my friends, it's:Stray by Rachel VincentNow, I am not saying that it's a bad thing the two are so alike or that anyone copied anyone else, but I just couldn't believe the number of similarities between them!The major difference, though?Kelley Armstrong's gal, Elena, turns into a wolf, whereas Katherine Faythe Sanders turns into a cat (think giant black panther). Let's play a game.Here are some facts about a book:-A young woman can Shift (change from human to animal-and it's not dependent on the moon)-Women have a hard time Shifting.
