 I am reading The Gathering by Kelly Armstrong. It is the first in a new series of books. The main character in this story, Maya, has a way with animals. Animals she is around are healed unnaturally quickly, a marten that needed weeks to recover from a serious leg injury recovered in days. A cougar has ran into her multiple times, and she is known because she has encountered cougars the most. She lives in a park but it is still very unusual that she has these encounters. I personally think that she has some sort of supernatural connection between the animals, and she has a birthmark of a paw print on her so that could relate to her cougar attractiveness in some way. Also Kelly Armstrong has written another series about supernatural people and this book is linked to that series, so that leads me to believe that she may be supernatural also.
