Here's the goodreads.com synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Maya is just an ordinary teen in an ordinary town. Sure, she doesn't know much about her background - the only thing she really has to cling to is an odd paw-print birthmark on her hip - but she never really put much thought into who her parents were or how she ended up with her adopted parents in this tiny medical-research community on Vancouver Island.
Until now.
Strange things have been happening in this claustrophobic town - from the mountain lions that have been approaching Maya to her best friend's hidden talent for "feeling" out people and situations, to the sexy new bad boy who makes Maya feel . . . . different. Combine that with a few unexplained deaths and a mystery involving Maya's biological parents and it's easy to suspect that this town might have more than its share of skeletons in its closet.
Ok, my review. I really liked this book! Usually I am not a huge fan of werewolf books, which I thought this one was, but I wanted to give it a chance since I like Kelley Armstrong's writing. I was pleasantly surprised that this isn't a werewolf book at all. It's a were-cougar book! I am much more partial to cats than dogs so it was a good twist for me. The plot is steeped in mystery and hidden information. Some things are easily guessed while others are never answered at all.
I did not like the ending. I felt like it was too much of a cliffhanger. Even if it is a series, I feel like each book should be able to stand without the others. There should be some sort of resolution. But in The Gathering, there is none. So be prepared for that. Other than feeling cheated of some sort of ending, I look forward to the next book in the series! 4/5 stars.
