The Nine Lives of Felicia Miller

The Nine Lives of Felicia Miller, a dark modern fairy tale, is the first novel from Joe Augustyn, creator of the original cult horror movie Night Of The Demons.

Felicia Miller is a normal small town girl struggling to overcome her shyness. Just as she's starting to blossom her life is shattered by a group of wayward boys who lure her to a haunted hollow in the woods. Violently assaulted and left in the cold night fog, Felicia wakes in the remote cabin of the town witch, who gives her a magic necklace, bestowing the power to transform into her totem animal, the cat. Any kind of cat, large or small. But she must follow a precise ritual, using a mirror at sundown to effect the transformation, and must face the same mirror at sunrise to change back.

Skeptical but tempted, Felicia is surprised when the magic actually works. Aided by shapeshifter friends, Felicia rains hell on the evil boys, one by one. But revenge doesn't come easy. Felicia's reign of terror in various feline forms confuses and terrifies the locals. She must keep her secret safe from her parents; is distracted by a new love; loses her shapeshifting allies; and arouses suspicion in a town full of gossipy haters. A bounty is posted and hunters flood the woods to track and kill the mysterious beast.

And just when Felicia has mastered her power and is about to complete her murderous mission, the surviving boys uncover her secret and plot a final trap... But Felicia's feline nature compels her to keep taking risks. Will her arrogance doom her? Or will her feline cunning prevail?
