Strong and resilient Faythe is the heroine of Stray, a werecat who lives a normal life as a human. That is until a Stray encroaches on her family's territory and threatens to kidnap her - particularly treasonous considering there's only a select number of fertile female werecats around. But Faythe doesn't want to be dragged back to her pride - where her father reigns supreme, back to where her old fiance Marc is. Yet with more and more disappearing tabbies around the country, Faythe needs to team up with her family and the werecat she left to figure out where the disappearances are leading to - before she's chosen as the next target to take. 
 Stray drew me in as a supernatural romance book with a kick-butt female. Faythe is rash, stubborn and oblivious to an extent - but she's an ideal hot-headed lead. So when there's a capable female lead in a hot paranormal book, what else can you wish for? 
 Stray's plot moves forward relatively quickly and relatively simply. Plot twists, the culprits etc seem fairly straight forward and there are no big looming revelations - well, maybe except for one. As much as I enjoy Faythe's fired-up personality, I feel that the all the males fall a little flat. Marc, Faythe's ex-fiance, is possessive, temperamental, and still loves Faythe. Which is great, but Marc always seemed a little contrived and not sincere feeling to me. I really liked Jace, the younger more flirting playful guy, but that's just me. 
 With a few gaps in action, male character development, Stray has its flaws, but they can be easily overlooked. With a great female lead and a classic supernatural plot, it's the start of something good.
