2.0

While the wording of the blurb led me to believe this was paranormal or sci-fi (I think it was the use of the word human combined with the title strays - screams shifter to me), it is really just a dystopian future. Which is fine, I like dystopian novels, I just kept expecting shifters to pop out at some point. But that's my fault.

The story itself was ok. For never picking up strays, and definitely not falling for them, Daniel did so rather quickly. We don't really see what the two MCs have in common and other than the fact that he rescues Kyle, and has been hurt before, we don't learn much about Daniel. We also don't have a solution to what Kyle discovers at the beginning, it's used as a plot point then left hanging.

As well, there are weird repetitions of information in the book, like recaps, that make it feel disjointed.
