I tagged death of parent but her parents are technically alive just slaves trapped in their own mind and body by alien parasites. The parasites do not love their host's teenage daughter and she doesn't know why. Also an animal who is really a teenage girl is threatened with death but does not actually die. A shrew is focused on maggots and dead flesh.

Such a weird, fun book.
Rachel, our narrator, reaches out to a friend, Melissa, to try to help her and her family. 
Cat morphs sound fun.

I love to see that Rachel is reckless as always, but with a heart of gold. I wonder how that'll turn out. It's funny that we don't ever see her motive for joining the fight ever again after this. Maybe it's inconsisten writing? Who knows?
