About this listen
Kita Nekai, on the run and the smallest of her shifter clan-a calico cat among lions and tigers-is being hunted. She was expected to accept her role as her father's successor whether or not her cat was up to the task of leading the clan. She disagreed. Now she's less than a step ahead of the hunters, bone-tired, cold, and living hand-to-mouth in the city of Haven. And that's the high point of her day. She's also drugged, "accidentally" turned into a vampire, and sentenced to death for recklessly creating a rogue shifter who tortures its human prey. She's got 72 hours to find the rogue, evade a city full of hunters, prove she's not responsible for the rogue, and keep the vampire council from killing her. All while sorting out an apprentice mage, a married ex-boyfriend shifter-hunter, and the vampire who made her.

However, while I did get a tad fed up with Kitter, the world building is good, the other characters better drawn and less teenage (Nathaniel is 400 years old after all), and the ending is truly absorbing, running right up to, and slightly over, a deadly deadline, and with a very well described, and rather gruesome, finale. We end with Kitter maybe, just maybe, a smidgen more resigned to her lot, and with her set up as a supernatural investigator for the subsequent series.
Worth the listen, and well read with clear definition between characters - but for heavens sake buy it through Amazon for the cheaper price, you come back to your Audible account, but keep the cheaper price - and I'll be downloading the sequel.
Absorbing, but with a petulant, adolescent heroine
