"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. "Fascinating world customs, a bit of a mystery, and the relationship between the hero and heroine make this a very sensual romance."― Romantic Times "A sexy adventure with a hero you can't resist!"―Candace Havens, author of Charmed & Deadly The first book in wildly popular Cat Star Chronicles, a paranormal romance series featuring heroes with a feline gene that gives them remarkable sexual powers. "Jack" needs a slave of her own-one who can masquerade as her master.Įnmeshed in a tangle of deception, lust, and love, they must elude a race of violent killers and together forge a bond stronger than any chains. Now her quest leads her to a place where all the women are slaves. She has spent years pursuing her kidnapped sister from planet to planet. Jacinth is an intergalactic trader on a rescue mission and she needs a man she can trust with her life. Even filthy, chained, and beaten, he gives off an aura of power and virility and his feline gene gives him a special aura. "I found him in the slave market on Orpheseus Prime, and even on such a god-forsaken planet as that one, their treatment of him seemed extreme."Ĭat is an enslaved warrior from a race with a feline gene that gives him awesome beauty, fearsome strength, and sensuality and sexual prowess unmatched by any other males in the universe. He may be the last of a species whose sexual talents were the envy of the galaxy Though its handling of race is often more subtle than direct, Thandi acknowledges her race: Race is one theme to which a novel can often find something new to add, despite how frequently it’s revisited in literature. Like Reed’s Mumbo Jumbo, Clemmons supplements her witty prose with images, and like Brooks’s underappreciated novella, What We Lose is made up of poetic vignettes that combine to create an unforgettable portrait of a young woman’s search for identity. Though Clemmons has noted Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye as an influence, it’s easy to pick up hints of Ishmael Reed’s Mumbo Jumboand Gwendolyn Brooks’s Maud Martha, too. The themes explored in What We Lose-race, identity, family, and loss-are familiar, but their presentation here feels entirely fresh and new. In her novel, a woman named Thandi is pulled between different worlds-black and white, American and African-and her struggles with identity are at the heart of this coming of age story. Like her protagonist in the semi-autobiographical What We Lose, Zinzi Clemmons is the Pennsylvania-raised daughter of a South African immigrant mother and an American father.

However, when Pet appears, their telepathy provides yet another avenue for Jam to communicate her thoughts and feelings. Jam spends much of the story using sign language with those around her. Her muteness was an inclusion I hadn’t seen before, where a character chose to speak only when she deemed it necessary. (20)Īt the center of the narrative is Jam, a selectively mute young woman. Readers are asked the same question put to Jam and Aloe: are we too afraid to see the unseen and to know the unknown?įorgetting is how the monsters come back. Against the wishes of her mother, Bitter, and father, Aloe, the strange pair begin their hunt for the monsters they believe were defeated. Communicating telepathically, Pet tells Jam that her best friend, Redemption, is in danger and only she and Pet can seek out the monster that threatens him.
