Confessing I'm a shapeshifter could get me killed.
I crave the forbidden rush of leaping from my bedroom window at night and transforming into an owl, but I could lose it all if anyone catches me. Shapeshifting can be a beautiful and deadly secret.
I'm Other. A half-pooka shapeshifter, to be exact. In the small town of Klikamuks, Washington, coming out as a paranormal person means staring down the barrel of a shotgun. I haven't even told my boyfriend, Zack, who I really am. And I'm hoping he will be the boy to take my virginity.
Worse, a pack of werewolves claims the national forest behind my house as their territory. Tensions in Klikamuks escalate into murder.
A serial killer is targeting Others like me.
On the hunt for clues, I meet Tavian, a sexy Japanese fox-spirit who challenges me to embrace my shapeshifting. He rivals Zack and makes me question everything.
Can I find the killer before he finds me, or will my secrets be the death of me?
Praise for Other:
Other has it all: love, shifters, pookas, and nail-biting action. What's even better, Kincy's characters are vibrant, real and lovable. This is a debut that leaves you aching for more. - Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of Need and Captivate
This who-done-it is an unusual blend of mystery and fantasy, starring original characters not often featured in modern urban fantasy for teens. I really enjoyed it. - Annette Curtis Klause, author of Blood and Chocolate
Gwen is extremely likable as the impulsive, conflicted heroine, and although Tavian is a bit perfect, their romance is a dynamic counterpoint to the suspenseful mystery. - Booklist
The emotional turmoil of the characters is evident and will appeal to readers who have felt misunderstood or as if they don't belong. - School Library Journal
