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 whatever00and 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...

What reviewers
have said about Stray...
*****
Romantic Times
"Vincent's debut is fast paced and cleverly written, and it
should find favor with fans of the shape-shifter subgenre.
Even those not usually enamored by it could be won over by
the sheer power and clarity of her voice. Plus, some of
those male werecats are choice!"
Reviewed by Catherine Witmer
*****
Romantic Reader at Heart
"...Her first person perspective, dialogue, descriptions,
and even her sound effects are phenomenal (I heard the
noises, I swear it!). ...I really like this book. I think
Vincent has a hit on her hands..."

The Romance Reader's Connection
"All I can say is WOW! Rachel Vincent's story is an
excellent read. Her characters are tougher than nails and
just plain hot! Faythe's character is so concerned with
freedom that she is totally unaware of the big picture, but
it just makes you love her more. She can kick some butt and
go back for seconds.... I can't wait to see what happens
next!"

Mysterious Galaxy Books
"Rachel Vincent introduces a welcome new voice and
supernatural predator-of-focus to the paranormal romance
genre with Stray. "
What other authors have said about
Stray...
“Stray is thoroughly enjoyable, with no gaps and all go. An
end-of-innocence story in a sometimes savage world whose
social structure is both recognizable, yet very much not
human. Vincent skillfully handles powerful topics through
her character Faythe, who's tough-chick attitude proves that
those born to rule, are going to break a few rules along the
way--and probably a few hearts--and maybe a head or two.
Rachel Vincent is a new author that I'm going to be
watching.”
--New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison
*****
"A high-octane plot with characters you can really care
about. Vincent is a welcome addition to the genre!"
--Bestselling author Kelley Armstrong
*****
"Well written, fresh, charming, great voice--Buffy meets
Cat People. I loved it, and look forward to much more in the
future from this talented author."
--New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham
*****
"I liked the character and loved the action. I look forward
to reading the next book in the series."
--New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris.
*****
“Compelling and edgy, dark and evocative, Stray is a must
read! I loved it from beginning to end.”
--Gena Showalter, acclaimed author of Enslave Me Sweetly.
