Since the story was written this way, we learned and gained new information at the same time as Faythe did. The story is told in the first person, from Faythe’s point of view. I poked at the ball of yarn avoiding her eyes. “The boys tended to take care of each other but you were too much for anyone else to handle.” “You mostly.” Her hands went still again as her eyes stared off into the past with a look so wistful it made me ache for her. Like most female characters in urban fantasy she is bad ass! However I found her to be a 23 years old brat. She is strong, independent, likes to take care of herself and she is smart (sometimes). A love square.įaythe was an interesting character. As for the romance department, Jace an arrogant werecat is all over her, Marc the ex-boyfriend and the reason why she left, is very possessive of her, and well, there’s also a boyfriend back at college. Faythe is in danger, yet she decides that this is the right time to negotiate with her father for her independence and freedom from the Pride. Her father becomes overprotective of her, she isn’t happy about it since she wants to help these girls who are her friends. Upon her arrival she learns that someone has been kidnapping the few tabbies (females) from across the country. Her father makes her come home, leaving behind her confused roommate and her human boyfriend Andrew.

However this changes when she is attacked by a Stray, a werecat without a Pride. Faythe has been trying to stay away from her Pride, by attending college. Stray is the first novel of the Shifters series by Rachel Vincent.įaythe looks like an average American grad student but she is a werecat, a shape-shifter, and one of the only 8 female werecat in the United States.
