Sometimes playing cat and mouse is no game...Play? Right. My Pride is under fire from all sides, my father's authority is in question and my lover is in exile. Which means I haven't laid eyes on Marc's gorgeous face in months. And with a new mother and an I-know-everything teenager under my protection, I don't exactly have time to fantasize about ever seeing him again.

When I started this series, I was so torn between Jace and Marc. In the beginning, I was totally loving Jace as Faythe's potential mate. I loved his fun loving personality and the picture I have of him in my mind is totally yummy. Then, I liked Marc too--total Alpha material and I knew that for the future of the Pride, Faythe would have to choose a strong mate and that mate would be Marc ove...more

Major Spoilers! So before you click on 'View Spoiler' think about it...do you really want this book ruined? Unless you've already read the book, then go ahead :)lol

I think this book is a perfect example of an emotional rollercoaster. There were parts where I was LMAO, others where I was pissed off, others where I was very excited, and others where I was just crying my eyeballs out (which of course, is anatomically impossible, lol).

This was honestly the best one so far. Mark missing, and Ethan! I loved Ethan so much! I was so sad when that happened, the ending was a shocker, I was not expecting that at all. I love all the action, and you see different sides of every character, and a good example of a majorly changed character would be Jace. He went from a fun to be around person to a serious possible alpha. The fight at the end got a little nasty but I wouldn't expect anything different. This was the best book out of them...more

It seems like in every book Faythe is forced to grow up a little more and realize that the world does not revolve around her, like it has for so much of her life. This book is no different. She is living with the consequenses of her decisions from previous books, although not happy about it. The situation with Kaci is quickly approaching critical, and Manx is facing the trial.

I think the outcome of Manx's trial is worse than if they would have put her to death. For what has happened to her, being made helpless and having to depend on other (mostly men) will be a hard pill to swallow. She does take the decision with grace, and I love the idea of her going to stay with Vic's family. While she could never replace Sara, her being there could help heal the wound.

The inter political workings of the prides comes out in full force here. You really can't help but the hate Malone and his pride. It really seems like he is playing dirty, and while Greg and his crew is trying to take the high road they are forced into a situation where that just isn't possible. I found myself with tears running down my face during this scene and the ones to follow. Watching the family deal with the fallout was horrible. Faythe was once again faced with making some really tough decisions, ones that were for the good of the pride and not what she really wanted to do.

She also made one really stupid choice, that I think will come back to bite her in the ass. I get the whole idea of comfort sex, and we have seen where she has done this before, but the person she picked could make things blow up bigger than ever. And how funny is it that it took one big loss and this for him to grow up and decide that he is in the race for her heart, and will do what ever it takes to win. Not sure what I think of that.

I like resolution with Mark, because really at this point when war is coming fast, you really need all your assets to be working with you. I also liked the friendship with Dan Painter. It was funny to see. Mark was so used to having people around that it seemed like he was creating his own substitue pride while in exhile of his true one. I didn't see what was coming with Dan, and felt many of the same emotions that Faythe did.

I can't wait for the next book, to see how the prides stack up and on who's side they are on, plus there is the bomb of the last page to see what happens.(less)

Ms. Vincent takes us deeper into the politics that surround Faythe and the decisions she has made. What really makes this book fantastic is the mixture of moments that just tear out your heart and the moments that make it beat about a mile a minute. Who needs skydiving when you've got Faythe and her fellow cats? That's enough of a kick to get any adrenaline junky bouncing around.

I understand the need to sometimes have a much-loved character die. It becomes necessary to further the storyline and strengthen characters that needed to grow. It’s awfully sad, tempers flare and disastrous things happen. That being said…

Prey by Rachel Vincent is the beginning of a turning point in Faythe’s life where (forgive my French) s**t gets real! There is so much tragedy and loss in this story, although however hurtful it may be, it’s necessary to add validity and strength to this series. It makes no sense to fight constantly without any casualties on the home front. The death in this story is so unexpected and heartbreaking. I can’t bring myself to pick up another book until I feel I have properly mourned the death of this major character. (I know, it’s weird but what can I say, I get attached!) I have so, so much respect for authors that lovingly and wonderfully create characters and, for the sake of amazing literature, have to kill them off. (I know how much it hurts me; I can’t imagine how much it hurt Vincent to write this!)

However, do not let the imminent death of a major character scare you off from this series. It was amazing! There was a whole other level of emotion. It’s so raw and real and beautiful; it really solidified the relationships in this story. One thing I love about this series is how with each book the reader gets more and more invested in these character’s lives. Now that the line has been crossed, the south-central pack is really amped up and there is tension in the air. I cannot wait to see how Faythe takes her revenge and I think it will be oh so sweet. Justice must be served, and Faythe is the perfect cat to deliver it.

Keep in mind, there is still a lot of levity and lightheartedness in this book. Faythe, the amazing, witty heroine, shows up in full force, and the south-central pack is as amusing as ever. I was even shocked to see the scandal that Faythe found herself in (again!) between Jace and Marc. I can’t even fathom what will happen next! I love this series and I will continue on with the next book, Shift. Hopefully, seeing justice done will lighten my heavy heart.

Holds my attention, makes me beg for more, and makes me scream at an inanimate object like this book. Faythe gets to play goood cop AND bad cop in Prey, and enjoys every minute of it! Whether she's kicking stray ass or her own brother's, I like how Faythe is still in charge when it comes to getting a little physical. I liked the flow better in Prey than I did Pride (not that it was bad); it seemed slower, yet still remained action-packed. I found I liked how the action never stopped in this one and since the main character never stopped for a break, I found it hard not to do the same while reading it.

I was glad to see things worked out with Kaci and saddened to see how things turned out with Manx. I wasn't anticipating Ryan's sudden return near the ending, but nor was I prepared to read the death of a certain favorite character. However, as unpredictable as those things were - I started muttering profanities as soon as Faythe and Jace were alone. And she was drinking. And I knew exactly what would happen - which only made me want to read on with more vigor to see if she'd actually do it. And she did. So I can't wait to read the outcome of that scenario within the next one, Shift.

I love how the name of the book fits in perfectly with what goes on in this one - when Marc is injured and kidnapped, how her brother becomes the victim, how the predatory Council makes the South-Central Pride its new target. Most of the titles described what goes on, but I particularly like this one the best.

I made the mistake in checking the number of pages there were in the book - and happened to see the final sentence. So you can imagine the kind of conclusions I was coming to without reading the remaining couple chapters. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting! But with everything that was going on, I was expecting Faythe to be the one to have spoken the sentence. Imagine that, in the middle of everything going on!

I'm starting to put things together - and wondering what more Malone and now the threat of Blackwell and Mitchell - are planning to do within the next installment. I want to see what Ryan is up to and who really let him out; to see if both the character's and my own conclusion is correct. I want to see how far the relationships with Marc and Jace go, especially after what happened. And I'm DEFINITELY - eager to see how the fantastic cliffhanger ending of Prey plays out in Shift.

It probably took me until now because Pride wasn't very memorable and left me on the fence; undecided on whether or not I was going to continue with the Shifters series. Boy am I ever glad I did! This novel is just shy of 400 pages but is a page turner from beginning to end. I read it in three days while somehow still making it to work and getting 8 hours of sleep a night. My boyfriend definitely felt a little snubbed! Unfortunately for him, I've decided to read the 5th book in the series next.

Prey has all the components of a great story and none of them are in short supply. The story starts out tame enough, Faythe is sent on a pride-related road trip with a few of her fellow enforcers driving Mercedes to stand trial for murder. An brief overnight stay in the free zone to visit her exiled sweetheart Marc quickly turns sour. Their envoy is ambushed by the largest group of organized strays anyone has ever seen. After kicking some serious ass they successfully deliver Manx and return home.

Then the shit really hits the fan. Marc gets kidnapped, her father's authority as alpha and (ex) head of the council is further put into question and inter pride conspiracies abound. This book has it all; from fights, to love, to politics.

I enjoyed the contrasts between feline shifters and canine shifters after having just finished reading a werewolf book. Faythe and her fellow cats have an enhanced sense of smell, but unlike wolves they're unable to track by scent. On the flip side, these shifters have speed, the ability to climb and are able to "partially" transform into their alternate shape. Being able to change your hand into a paw with claws or switching to cat-vision definitely has its advantages!

The only negative thing that I have to say about this novel is that the characters still favor their human forms when often, being a cat would obviously give them the upper hand. Overall, this book definitely has a little something for everyone and if you're a fan of the genre you'll appreciate it even more.(less)

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.

I was already a massive fan of this series but I honestly think that this is the best book yet. 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. 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. That's nothing compared to the political maneuvers that Calvin Malone is putting into place to try and oust Faythe's father as the Alpha of the south-central Pride. If ever there was a character I wanted to climb into a book just to punch it would have to be Malone!

Prey takes you on a complete emotional rollercoaster - it is the first book in a long time that actually made me cry. 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. The plot is as even more action packed than I was expecting and the number of twists the story takes is incredible.

We really do see Faythe start to grow up in this book. 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. She still isn't perfect and makes several mistakes but her character has come a long way since Stray. 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. 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. I promise you won't regret it!(less)

And, really, with the way she tends to end each novel on a spectacular cliffhanger, I appreciate how close together Mira has released the last two. Installment number five, Shift Shifters 5, is due out in just one month and so I'm particularly glad I waited awhile to read PREY as the end of this one left me even more bereft than the last. A feat I didn't think was actually possible considering the consequences surrounding that ending. I had heard rumors of darkness swirling their way through the internets in regards to this volume and that probably contributed a little bit to my rather unusual willingness to wait as I was afraid of who would be hurt this time and by whom.

Faythe is counting down the hours. Since one of the conditions of her acquittal was Marc's banishment to the neutral territory, she's been on pins and needles worrying about his safety, relying on infrequent telephone calls to reassure her of his continued wellbeing. And when she's not fretting over Marc, she's busy playing nursemaid to the Sanders' newest refugee. Kaci refuses to shift and allow her body to heal and become one with its werecat self. But she worships Faythe and so it's our girl's job to convince the young girl that all won't go to hell in a hand basket if she lets her guard down long enough to shift. There is also the matter of Manx's trial and the political machinations to do with the sudden presence of another rogue female and the role of female werecats in general within the strictly patriarchal werecat community. So when Marc goes missing and packs of strays are seen prowling the neutral territory, Faythe, her brothers, and all her father's enforcers are on a mission to get to the root of these mysteriously linked events.

I'm happy to confirm that the hints of maturation and resolve we saw in Faythe throughout Pride Shifters 3 are all present and accounted for in PREY. She's very intent on the important things in this book. She hasn't lost sight of them and she is aware, in a way I don't think she ever has been in the past, of how her actions and her past affect her present and, more importantly, her future. I have always liked Faythe. But I liked her most of all this time around. Better than any of the other characters, in fact, which is saying something as I am kind of a fan of Marc. And Jace, too. But I loved how dogged she was about finding Marc and fulfilling her obligations to her father and Kaci, even to Manx's little son. That said, I would be remiss if I did not note the elephant in the room in PREY. A sense of inescapable doom hangs over this story and I had the distinct feeling that that horrible thing you're afraid will happen the entire time would not actually take place, and then, just when you think it's safe to let out that breath you've been holding, the equally but different horrible thing you're not thinking of would bash you over the head. And I was spot on. When it comes it deals a direct blow and from that moment on things are messy and painful and very, very conflicting. I finished completely unsure of how I felt, torn over what went down in the end. And nothing is going to help me figure it out but reading Shift Shifters 5 and seeing how Ms. Vincent chooses to let the chips fall. I'll just be over here crossing my fingers they don't fall the way I'm afraid they will. (less)

In Prey, Faythe has to deal with heartbreak after heartbreak. How Faythe managed to deal with all the things that happened to her, I don’t know. I was in floods of tears at several points while reading this book. So unbearably sad, I can’t tell you.

We see Faythe at her strongest in Prey; her determination and unwavering resolve can only be admired when she does what she believes is right, even though the outlook is far worse than bad. But we also see Faythe being weak, in a way that’s going to change everything from this point onwards. But you can’t help but to agree with or understand her each and every action throughout Prey. She is most definitely a force to be reckoned with, just amazing.

All the characters we love are back, but things get a hell of a lot more serious for them all. There are a lot less laughs, and a lot more anger. Politically, things for the South Central Pride take a huge turn for the worse, and everyone is running on all cylinders to keep the ship sailing through the storm that is Calvin Malone. That nasty git really digs in his claws and refuses to let go. Oh, how I would love to belt him one!

The plot is just unbelievable; not only is Prey incredibly sad and tugs at the heartstrings, but it also has a storyline that is true to form for the Shifters series, full of action, danger, and adrenalin, and one that keeps you guessing right to the end. How Rachel is able to create such involved storylines, and make them so fast paced, exciting, and powerful is something to be in awe of. Rachel is one fantastic writer!

I could go on and on about how truly awesome this book is, and how awe-inspiring Rachel is for creating such a wonderful series, but so much goes on in this novel, I’m at risk of spoiling the book in a big way. If there’s just one series you have to read in your lifetime, Rachel Vincent’s Shifters series is it. I couldn’t recommend these books to you more if I tried. Make this your Shifters year. I can’t wait for when Shift is released on 1st March.

Prey picks up some time after Pride left off, and is infinitely better. Marc has been exiled from the pride following Faythes trial, and is now living in the free territory. A trip through the free territory to take Manx to her trial allows faythe to reconnect with Marc, only to have him go missing quite soon after that, with Faythe le...more

This series just keeps getting better and better. In this book the emotions get stronger and the storyline becomes more cruel due to what happens to Ethan (which I'm not happy about by the way). In Prey we see the characters evolve more, with Faythe becoming more willing to stay in the pride and fight for her territory. She becomes more focused on the job of finding Marc and ruthless in her search. The encounter with Pete Yarnell (a...more

I have a love/hate relationship with this book. On one hand, it had me riveted by the plot and I couldn't stop reading, even when I hit the proverbial train wreck. Which leads me to my other hand, (view spoiler). I waited a day after reading before rating and...more

Shelves: 2012, audiobooks, werewolves-shifters

I would enjoy this series a lot more if it weren't for Faythe. There are moments when I see the appeal of this character, but for the most part, I simply find her annoying.

Something else that I find mildly irritating: Faythe's habitual observation that the person on the other end of the line can't see her shaking/nodding her head. The werecats communicate often via phone, so Faythe notices herself doing this a lot. I should've taken notes while listening because there was another habit of hers t...more

Oh my God. Did all of that really just happen?! My head is still trying to wrap around everything. Especially the Ethan thing, which I'm not going to say, and just what will be happening in the next book. This will be a short review because I'm getting deeper in the series and I don't want to reveal any spoilers.

All I can say is this is a fantastic series. Gets better and better and it's so action filled and Faythe...more

Quotes from Prey

“Ethan was loyal and funny and protective. When we were little, he was the brother most likely to make me cry—and mostly likely to wipe away my tears.” — 81 people liked it

“I’m saying that I can wait. For now. But when things get back to normal—assuming that ever happens—I want my shot. We can make each other happy, Faythe. I know it. And I’m done walking away from things I want just because they don’t come easily. You’re worth the work.” — 68 people liked it
