Otherkin by Nina Berry
4.0
An interesting shape shifter book.
Dez is different. She has no idea what she is. All she knows is that one day, she turns into a tiger and when she wakes up, she's in a cage. Not to mention that she wakes up beside the cage of a hot guy. Gives a new meaning to the girl next door.
The world that Berry has created is much different from most supernatural worlds. All the shape shifters hate each other and they refuse to work together/care about any other one. The is the Tribunal that hunts down all of them and kills them because the otherkin are demons. In other ones, it is all about the wolves and the cats where in this one you have rats, birds and bears as well (not to mention that all the other ones are extinct).
I liked Dez as a character. She is thrown into this whole new world and manages to keep her head. An accomplishment if I do say so myself. Her relationship with Caleb reminds me very much of two people who are meant for each other. They both have issues; Dez and her haunting brace and Caleb and his lies. They work them out together. They also aren't really afraid of significant other coming in and stealing one or the other. It is almost as if they trust each other, even if they aren't officially together.
A unique tale about a girl and her feline side. A nice break from all the dystopia, world is going to end books that I've read. Definitely check out this book if you enjoy shifter novels.
