My other reviews show that I never liked Faythe much - she's abrasive, bitchy, vindictive, and kind of cocky, all turn offs. Maybe I should be more careful with rating books in the future. It's rated 4 stars, like the others in the series, but it's the best of the first four. “You think he left a big flashing arrow pointing to a filing cabinet labeled 'Evidence Here!'? He's a Stray, Ethan, not Wile E. I'm annoyed with Faythe for one particular mistake she made but I think it was kind of understandable considering the circumstances & she has definitely grown up a lot since the first book. I promise you won't regret it!Įven on a reread knowing exactly what was going to happen this book broke my heart & reduced me to tears! I guess that goes to show how invested I am in this world & the characters. This really is a series that I can't praise highly enough - if you haven't already started reading it then you need to buy it now. The book doesn't end on as much of a cliff-hanger as some of the previous books but don't let that make you think you won't be itching to get on with the rest of the series because you definitely will be. She still isn't perfect and makes several mistakes but her character has come a long way since Stray. Without Marc to lean on she has to stand on her own 2 feet and I can see the makings of a great Alpha in her. We really do see Faythe start to grow up in this book. The plot is as even more action packed than I was expecting and the number of twists the story takes is incredible. Parts of the book are absolutely heartbreaking and although at the time I was crying 'Noooooo' and begging Rachel Vincent not to do it, I do think that what happened is going to have an important impact for the series. Prey takes you on a complete emotional rollercoaster - it is the first book in a long time that actually made me cry. If ever there was a character I wanted to climb into a book just to punch it would have to be Malone! That's nothing compared to the political manoeuvres that Calvin Malone is putting into place to try and oust Faythe's father as the Alpha of the south-central Pride. Along with searching for Marc she has to deal with Manx's trial and Kaci's diminishing health as she is still refusing to shift. There was so much going on & I literally couldn't put it down! Marc is in exile which is bad enough but when he goes missing Faythe is out of her mind with worry. I was already a massive fan of this series but I honestly think that this is the best book yet.

If you're new to the series I strongly recommend you start reading from the beginning as this really is a series you need to read in order. This is the 4th book in the Shifters series so it is very difficult to review without giving spoilers for previous books.
