It's an age old struggle between cats and dogs, but we don't know the half of it. Cassie lives all alone in the hills of Arkansas. The reason? She's a werecat, an ocelot to be exact. Most humans are only aware of werewolves, which is fine with the rest of the "were" population. It makes keeping hidden easier. Cats are solitary creatures for the most part, making Cassie's cabin nestled in the forest the perfect spot for her. That is, until another werecat shows up and ruins it. Cassie lives in terror of weres because of a terrible tragedy during her childhood. But Jasper is determined to change her mind, and quick. You see, there are others on the way, and they don't have much time to prepare.
