Pride

Shifters, Book 3

De: Rachel Vincent

Narrado por: Jennifer van Dyck

"I'm on trial for my life. Falsely accused of infecting my human ex-boyfriend - and killing him to cover up the crime. Infecting a human is one of three capital offenses recognized by the Pride - along with murder and disclosure of our existence to a human.

"I'm two for three. A goner.

"Now we've discovered a rogue stray terrorizing the mountainside, hunting a wild teenage tabbycat. It's up to us to find and stop him before a human discovers us. With my lover Marc's help, I think I can protect the vulnerable girl from both the ambitious rogue and the scheming of the territorial council.

I LOVED this book

Bought for Myself
Read for the BBA Series Challenge
Overall Rating 4.75
Audio Rating 4.50
Story Rating 4.75
Character Rating 4.75

Note: Hard to believe a series that I barely stuck with after the first book because of not liking the heroin has come such a long way! I LOVED this book and at this point I am totally hooked.

What I LOVED: Faythe has come a long way baby! I can honestly say that I really care what happens to her. The way she handled the 13 year old tabby is what really turned the tide for me. That entire storyline was magnificent. Pride really yanked at all my emotional heart strings. Faythe's dad has always been a favorite of mine. In Pride, he is absolutely, by far, my favorite character. What he does for his Pride and Faythe is just the epitome of true love and loyalty.

What I LIKED: I can't give anything away but I am trying to figure out where the Malone story is going. I know where I would like it to go (Paging Hannibal) but it is adding an extra layer of conflict that is interesting to see play out. The back and forth between Faythe and Marc is playing out slowly but I feel their connection. Their love story is secondary to me but truly important to the story. Marc is a fantastic character and a good representation of what is possible with a Stray. I really liked Keller, the bruin. I hope he shows up again through out the series.

Complaints: None

Why I gave is a 4.75: This book knocked me on my *ss and really pulled every emotion out of me. I can't wait to read the rest!

Rachel Vincent Amazing Book

I highly enjoyed reading this book and would incourage others to read it. Although it is better if read in order the books are excellent on their own and are easier to get into

Best one yet!

All the emotions in this one. I have laughed, cried, and been pissed off.

The addition of Kaci an amazing story arc.

must read. The narration is amazing.

Running With the Big Catz

This is one of the rare times I will say don't start the series with this book--go to the beginning and read up to this book or it won't make much sense. You could possibly read it on its own, but it will be so much more enjoyable if you know the history of the characters and their natures.

This particular addition to the series is quite a wild ride as Faythe is on trial in this one, and she still can't manage to keep her mouth shut and behave. Poor girl. At least she's true to her nature. I'll give her credit for that. But I don't know how her dad survives her. The plot is full-out emotion in one form or another for most of the story. There's a lot going on here, and now I can't wait to dig into the next one!

This series gets better with each book.

OK, so, the first book in the series, the heroine is whiny and bratty, and at times, very hard to like. But with each installment, she grows, and you really begin to root for her. This book adds new and interesting characters to the werecat series, and really makes you want to listen to the next. The council that is trying the case of Faythe makes you want to grind your teeth, they are so narrow-minded, but it really adds to the suspense of the installment. I really wish that the author would explore a series with Jace as the main character, because I find him really intriguing. The narrator, who I did not like at all at the beginning of the series, is also growing on me. Now I can't think of someone else voice being anyone but Faythe. As with any series, you will want to definitely start with the first book, or you may have no idea what is going on.
