Wating on Wednesday (23)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

  Stray (Shifters #1) by Rachel Vincent

Published:  May 26th 2007
Mira Books

Synopsis(from Goodreads):
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 whatever--and 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....

It's been a long time since this one has been released but I haven't had the chance to get my hands on it. And oh, how I want to. The book sounds absolutely amazing and I'm a big fan of shifters in general so I want it, and I want it bad!

I've  seen the book around and I really like the sound of it. It has a potential to be a very good book and I would love to give it a try when it comes out. I'm really excited about it.
