Naiya is a wereleopard. Except she doesn’t know how that’s even possible, considering her entire breadth of knowledge of such things comes from pop culture and classic horror movies. So when her wealthy adoptive parents—in a flash of frustrating cluelessness—drop her into rehab just so she can get picked up by some shadow organization, Naiya can’t help but feel like everything she thought she knew about herself is wrong. Because these people push her to the limits of her capabilities and beyond without even blinking, and she learns she’s not the only thing that goes bump in the night. If it weren’t for her fellow captives, Val and Andy, Naiya might go entirely mad with the whole ordeal. And once she finally escapes, she’ll never be caged again.
