"Sarah Zellaby has always been in an interesting position. Adopted into the Price family at a young age, she's never been able to escape the biological reality of her origins: she's a cuckoo, a telepathic ambush predator closer akin to a parasitic wasp than a human being. Friend, cousin, mathematician; it's never been enough to dispel the fear that one day, nature will win out over nurture, and everything will change. Maybe that time has finally come. After spending the last several years recuperating in Ohio with her adoptive parents, Sarah is ready to return to the world--and most importantly, to her cousin Artie, with whom she has been head-over-heels in love since childhood. But there are cuckoos everywhere, and when the question of her own survival is weighed against the survival of her family, Sarah's choices all add up to one inescapable conclusion. This is war. Cuckoo vs. Price, human vs. cryptid...and not all of them are going to walk away" -- Amazon.com

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Part 1 of an excellent 2 part story submitted by Lorrraine on June 12, 2023, 12:20am Sarah Zellaby is a fascinating protagonist. As a Cuckoo she is one of the more alien characters in the Incryptid series and yet I found her very relatable. Be aware that this story ends in a cliffhanger and continues in the next book; Calculated Risks. They're both worth reading. Maybe borrow them together.
