She was cat, claws unsheathed, teeth bared. Loving the hunt, the chase, the pounce and the strike, her teeth sinking into flesh, blood spurting in her mouth. Animal justice: ruthless and swift. And totally satisfying. A provocative, richly layered, and utterly compelling novel that asks the answerable: what is truth, andwhat does it mean to be human? Niki and Emmet are siblings with a secret: their ability to change from human to animal, and back-their ability to transform-she to a cat, he to a hawk. Their mother is clueless, but how much does the elusive writer Slanger know? Is their classmate Doug as superficial as he seems? Is the psychiatrist a caretaker or an enemy? And what did she have to do with their father`s disappearance? Alternating 4 voices, paralleling the… [detailed...]
