Missy the Werecat: Book I

When puberty brings on her first Shift, Missy goes into the mountains for two years until finally learning to Change back. She can Change from fully human in one instant to a mountain lion in the next. Everyone assumes her two year disappearance was because she’d been kidnapped by a sexual predator that she managed to kill.

She keeps her werecat nature a secret. There is no pack, no pride of other werecats and no alpha. She’s a girl with fantastic abilities growing up and learning to do great things in today’s world, amongst humans. She only has her instincts to guide her and those drive her to train herself to extremes. She must control those instincts; dampening the wild predator is often necessary. Her raging hormones and enhanced senses require very strong controls; she explores what happens when those controls are relaxed.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Goodreads: over 3,500 four star and five star ratings for this series!

"I have enjoyed all of the Missy books. She gets into lots of trouble but always seems to be on the good end of things at the end. She is a strong heroine but also likes to help others so even when she is making trouble, it's usually for the bad guys. She is getting less shy and more developed as a person/cat as the books progress. I love these stories!" Amazon

"This is the first review for this series. As soon as I read one, I wanted to read the next. This is the best series I have read in years ... I hope there are more books coming soon. There are plenty of surprises in each book." Amazon

"Entertaining and fast paced. I appreciate that we do not have to suffer through another characters' angst over their abilities. She is what she is and she celebrates it. Her desire to be not just an officer, but the best possible officer she can be is laudable and refreshing. Her drive to succeed at whatever she tries is not gender based - just Missy in action. I look forward to the next installment - after all, reading is for entertainment and this author provides it in spades!" Amazon

Really good read. Plenty of action with interesting twists and turns. Missy's character is relatable and realistic, for a fantasy werecat! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great story, uneven writing

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

For the first few chapters, I felt I was reading a 3 star book. I didn't sense a distinction between dialogue and the narrative voice. I saw many signs of a novice writer, such as overuse of the word 'very.' There was no variety in the pacing of each scene. The narrative voice explained things that could have been inferred with a bit of rewriting--show not tell. I felt the story was plodding along, and it started to wear me down.

About a third of the way in, my persistence began to pay off. Missy, having survived two years in the wild, came of age and then some. The author did a great job fleshing out this very interesting character, a young woman-adult who is grounded and capable and confident, who likes to have fun, and who puts friends and family first. Missy can look a senator, an FBI agent, a mobster, and a hitman in the eye with equal verve.

So what is a girl to do with the exceptional physical prowess that comes with being a werecat? And how will her character respond to the burden of that power? I was relieved and deilighted to find that the author had no postmodern anti-hero itch to scratch. Missy is a good person who steps out of the role of semi-superhero as readily as she steps into it. She likes her life as a normal person just fine. I grew to like her very much, rough writing notwithstanding. And despite my complaining about poor writing, there are some scenes which are absolutely delicious and perfect in every way.

I've read dozens of young adult fantasy-adventure stories, and I think this one is a gem among them for the originality and independent vision of the author. It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't read at least a half dozen of these books, enough to know the genre's most frequent patterns. Missy the Werecat disregards the well-worn ruts dictated by the conventions in vogue these days, and I appreciate that very much. For instance, a number of scenes appear to be there simply for their 'slice of life' value, as they are not essential for forwarding the plot. I can tell that the author loves her character, Missy, and is inviting the reader to know her as well as she does. I am actually tempted to purchase the next book in the series.

Good story, juvenile writing

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017

I wanted to like the story, and I really did appreciate it, but if you have ever read a Jr or Sr high school student creative writing story you will understand. The whole book is written in 3Rd person with every sentence starting with she did, she thought, she whatever.... it gets repetitive and downright annoying in many respects. Near the end few chapters this changed and we suddenly had views from character perspective and that was great, but jarring. It's as if the writer wrote this years ago and the ending after she/he grew up. The saving grace is that the characters are likable, in a perfect sitcom kind of way with perfect family and friends, etc. The action is quick, very easily completed, but this is well explained because of how exceptional the main character is. I liked the idea of this world building, a child grows up a were cat and is the only one so has to figure it all out on her own before explaining it to her family. All that, characterization, world building, humor, is great. The writing style and the VERY full explanation of teen sexual feelings and girl talk is tiring and truly a hard reading experience.... but I wish the author well and hopefully he/she gets better at writing because the authors imagination looks to be full of good ideas.

I like Missy. The way her character is written is great and I like that she’s willing to get her hands dirty but only to protect those she loves.

A different view of shifters

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’m glad I finally got to read Missy the Werecat, a book I acquired shortly after purchasing my first Kindle. I was intrigued by the title. There are all kinds of books about werewolves, but I had never seen one about a werecat before.

The writing is a little dry – sort of reportorial. And I could have done with fewer of Missy’s own sexual adventures. But I was just as glad that she didn’t have to spend most of her time gushing over some alpha male or jockeying for dominance in a shifter pack.

Missy’s life as a werecat has a few similarities to those werewolves, but, surprisingly, not all that many. She shifts into her werecat form (her cat form is a mountain lion) for the first time as a young teenager while she is away at soccer camp. It happens that this first shift occurs on the night of a full moon, but later her ability to shift does not seem to be particularly connected to any phase of the moon. In fact, she is unable to shift back for two years after that first shift. So, she disappears into the mountains and learns to live as a mountain lion for that time. Her family fears she has been abducted, possibly killed. Naturally, they are devastated.

Later, she begins to be able to shift back into human form. At first, she has little control over when she shifts. But she practices hard and eventually can shift back and forth between her cat form and her human form almost at will. The only constraint is that she can shift at most only about once every three hours.

Missy acts in many ways more like a superhero than a dangerous monster. Even in her human form, she retains much of the enhanced strength and many of the heightened senses of a lion. This enables her to come to the rescue of people in distress even in her human form. For example, she makes her re-entry to the human world by rescuing a family whose vehicle has been run off of a steep mountain road. As part of this adventure, the car explodes just after she has pulled one of the family members out, and Missy suffers serious head injuries. But a few days later, she is completely healed.

After this, she is reunited with her family and resumes a mostly normal life. She has to be home-schooled for a while so she can catch up with her former classmates, and she is very cautious about telling her family about the werecat thing, although she eventually does come out to them about this.

Missy has a fine sense of justice, and she is especially protective of her girlfriends when she finds, or suspects, that they are being sexually abused. One friend, in particular, has a stepfather Missy has to confront several times over this issue as he changes the form of his abuse each time Missy talks to him. When he begins to threaten Missy and her family, she checks him out and discovers that he is involved in organized crime. She has to enlist the help of the FBI agent who was involved in the search for her when her family thought she had been kidnapped to finally take care of him.

By the end of the book, when she is ready to graduate from high school, it looks as if Missy will eventually wind up in some sort of law enforcement. First off, she wants some sort of military training. She wants to go to West Point with Special Forces and Ranger training. And we find that there is a Paranormal Branch of the government that is interested in her – not part of the FBI this time, although they want the FBI agent who has been working with her to be their liaison with them.

As a retired millwright finding a series I wish to spend my money on is a rare occasion.

Initially I downloaded a free copy of this book as a gift for our teenage granddaughter.

Reading it over I found I liked the original book so much I bought the entire series so far.
Sitting outback on the deck or at the beach this weekend I read through the first two concerning the adventures of a werecat in both her human and werecat forms and highly recommend you do the same.

And yes I downloaded the books to her top of the line Kobo.
