Stray took a bit to get in to but once the perverbial s*** hit the fan it got good!
Faythe (silly spelling) may be 23 years old but to me she was acting like a 13 year old. Her internal monologue of not being treated as an equal because she's a girl, rants over the protective nature of her pride and unreasonable/mistimed demands started to fall on deaf ears. I wanted to scream at her to grow the hell up and act her age. She may have spent five years at college but she has gained no real world experience as "Daddy" payed for everything so she felt no responsibility.
Once the bad guys came on the scene properly though it got better. Faythe started to act like the adult she is and her whining thankfully decreased dramatically. Faythe has the chance to become a strong, dynamic female lead (and Alpha) and as this is the first book in the series I will concentrate on the elements I enjoyed and hope she does some serious growing up in future installments.
I like Marc, Ethan, Owen, Parker and Jace and hope their presence remains strong. I want to see the dynamic between her parents who have great potential as secondary characters.
Overall a decent start once you get into it.
