Other (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781737925118)

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
