Stray

"Did not finish. It is extremely boring and lame. Maybe in another life..."

"Cassandra was walking home from school like any other day but when she looks up she notices she is not in Australia anymore. She starts a diary documenting her time in this weird place from when she gets there to when a strange guy comes to her and tells her he can take her home. She makes some great friends while learning a new language that is implanted in her brain. <br/>I enjoyed this book for the most part but there were parts I couldn't follow. I liked that she had a way to learn the language but still had difficulties with it. Cassandra was very relate able and was a joy to read through her eyes from her diary."

"What a great series! Just when you think you have figured it out the author throws a wrench in your ideas. I love how strong in logic the heroine is, Faythe. I also love how confused she is in love. This is an action packed series that I can't seem to put down!"

"“What happened?” I asked, my hand hovering over the prone form of a white pawn. I desperately didn’t want to know the answer, but I’d long since learned ignorance was not really bliss. Not ever.<br/>“They brought in a partially dismembered body yesterday morning,” Marc said.<br/>I groaned, and let my hand fall into my lap, empty. I was supposed to be at school studying the classics, not at home hearing about abductions and dead bodies. This was the worst summer vacation ever.<br/><br/>This is just one of many moments that make me groan inwardly and outwardly roll my eyes. Faythe (stupid spelling, by the way) is a “23 year old” werecat. I say it like that because she spends the majority of the novel behaving the way one might expect a 13 year old child to. Life is changing, all the hormones are getting to you. I get it. But Faythe is 23, and she understands the world has dark spots in it. This doesn’t stop her from being selfish, stupid, or petulant. As evidenced in the above excerpt, Faythe doesn’t understand danger or how it pertains to her. She seems to think everyone around her is overreacting despite much evidence pointing to the contrary. “Worst summer vacation,” indeed. <br/><br/>It takes MANY chapters for this show to finally get on the road, I don’t remember time dragging while reading it once I got through chapter 11…because after that the plot picked up. That’s 118 pages in to even START establishing something worth paying attention to. 224 pages to go…"

"I loved it! I love that the heroine is not someone that is easy to like at first."

"This was the first book I read by this author. Love it so much I have literally almost read everything she has written. "

"Epic book series for people who love animals and who have a dark side. The main girl is kind of a spoiled brat, in her own attitude, and never really knows what she wants, but you can bet she has that primal "bite" to her."

"Kick butt heroine! Love the whole series"
