Shape-shifter Series #1 For the Love of Humanity

This is the first installment to my YA "shape-shifter series", For the Love of Humanity. Sixteen year old Coralie "Cora" Parker's boyfriend has just moved to Rhode Island, leaving her in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, with the meager company of the cat her veterinarian father brings home one day. With Cora's luck, the cat turns out to be angst-ridden teen shape-shifter Kyle Grimalkin. So now Cora has to balance high school, her friends, family, and figure out how to keep this huge secret hidden from all of them while trying to maintain her relationship with boyfriend Gavin Cooper. It doesn't help that Kyle, for some reason, finds it excruciatingly difficult to control his instincts around Gavin and seems to be always ready to pick a fight. When things start to spin out of control, Cora finds herself faced with a dilemma: she has to choose between Gavin and Kyle. Each is hiding something from her, but only one secret is life-changing, and she doesn't know which one has it. Should she trust Gavin, who she has known for five years, or Kyle, who she has known for five months? Should she choose love or should she choose friendship?
