OLDER FICTION
Tiernan, Cate

Darkest Fear

(4) YA Birthright series. In this series-starter, Vivi refuses to accept her birthright as a haguari, a jaguar shapeshifter, until her parents are violently killed on her eighteenth birthday. Seeking out an unknown aunt in New Orleans, Vivi discovers a houseful of haguari who take her in. Tiernan's entertaining writing style and vividly rendered New Orleans setting will hook readers, despite the narrative's uneven pace.
