Outcast by Cheryl Brooks

3.0

Better than the first book in the series (and I haven't read 2 or 3 so I cannot speak to them), Outcast is the fourth entry in the Cat Star Chronicles.
There were some things I quite liked about the book - the setup was good. I liked the two main characters, Bonnie and Lynx, in their first chapters. I liked that there was tension between them.

I did not like that Bonnie went from seemingly capable independent woman to very needy the moment Lynx showed up. I understood she was lonely and wanted someone to talk to, but I'd have preferred her to be more aloof and to have circumstances continually put her and Lynx in close proximity and needing to communicate.

There's some language around the cat folk in these books that commodifies them in a really uncomfortable way.
