Campy humor is paired with themes of social justice in this fast-paced, clever second volume in the Feral series. As this installment opens, a teen Texan werecat named Kayla is poised to lose her virginity to her loving boyfriend, Ben--daring to expose herself to him as a shifter despite her fear that he'll reject her. Sadly, he does turn out to view her as so many others in this imagined society view werepersons: as someone whose difference requires saving instead of celebrating. In a misguided effort to cure her, he sets into motion a strange sort of curse that results in his death. It also involves enchanted animal figures from a carousel and a variety of shifters who are suddenly, inexplicably drawn to Kayla in different ways, including Yoshi, the werecat protagonist of Feral Nights (2013). The details here are sometimes too complicated, leading to mouthfuls such as, "Either the reversal won't work…or the spell will draw the magically contaminated shifters to the carousel." However, the dynamics among characters are fascinating and are well-served by the first-person narration alternating between Yoshi and Kayla. A neat, smart middle novel that clearly sets the stage for an epic showdown between those who champion the rights of shifters and those blind to their humanity. (Paranormal romance. 14 & up)
The adopted daughter of two respectable human parents, Kayla is a werecat in the closet. All she knows is the human world. When she comes out to her boyfriend, tragedy ensues, and her determination to know and embrace her heritage grows. Help appears in the lithe form of sexy male werecat Yoshi, backed up by Aimee and Clyde, as the four set out to solve the mystery of a possessed antique carousel while fielding miscast magic, obsessive strangers, and mounting species intolerance.
The second installment of New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith's thrilling Feral series delivers danger, romance, and suspense in an all-new action-packed adventure.
