Nine Lives — D.R. Perry

Trust your instincts or go extinct. Olivia Adler's completely normal adoptive parents never make her Extrahuman status a secret, but they keep her medicated and on a day schedule. Without those meds, Olivia discovers powers and instincts beyond those of a normal owl shifter. Just as she starts exploring these new traits, her unrequited crush, cat shifter Tony Gitano, dies and his body vanishes from the hospital. Olivia can't mourn Tony for three reasons. Number one, she's too busy assisting the Law Office of Ichiro and Dunstable with a high-stakes trial. Letter two, the Goblin King has charged her with a Quest in the Under. Number C, she's got a sneaking suspicion that PPC's surly neighborhood catman is only mostly dead. The unseelie Monarch isn't the only one taking notice. The Gatto Gang Boss can't abide someone like Olivia investigating his alleged part in Tony's demise. Will Olivia adapt or die?
