NICE GIRL LIKE YOU by Tyree Campbell

A freelance mercenary named Emer McClafferty risks her life acting on her own behalf to stop a corporation called Genetic Detailing, or GenTail, from developing DNA splices that would enable them to rule humanity. Assisting her in this project is Tsebieh, one of GenTail’s victims, whose DNA is a mishmash of human, vegetable, and cheetah, among others. Moreover, Tsebieh has one talent that GenTail does not know about. But is she brave enough to use it to assist Emer?
