Stray by Rachel Vincent
3.0
3 1/2 stars.
The first third of the book is very weak. It's all the main character rolling her eyes, and sighing a lot, and telling everyone that she's an adult now, so like, why don't they ever treat her like one? I have more emotional maturity in my pinkie than the main character Faythe* does in her entire body.
But then the action started, and Faythe didn't roll her eyes for at least 300 pages! I really liked the last 2/3 of the book. And the heroine grew up through her harrowing experiences in the book, and stopped treating everyone around her like crap, so by the end I was actually kind of fond of her.
Fans of urban fantasy will probably enjoy this. Lots of graphic violence, fyi.
*A topic for another day: how much I hate the spelling of Faythe's name.
