I have to say this is still not one of my favorite series, but they are always good solid reads. Specially now that Faythe is starting to mature and see the reality of the shifter world! Not everything had to revolve around Princess Sanders! Thank God!

OK, so in this book Faythe in on trial for # 1 - infecting her ex-boyfriend by accident, turning him into a Stray and # 2 - for killing him! Faythe goes on trial, and it turns out there's a pretty good chance she'll get the "death penalty". Yes, ta ...more

Ok, this book was very good. I liked it better than the first 2. It managed to draw me in and not want to put it down. Now that I've finished the book, I just want to jump into the next book in the series to continue the story.
The plot is very well developed. The conflicts are constant, and intriguing. Even though I hate the werecat politics, it gave insight into the characters. I feel like the main character, Faythe is growing up and maturing, which is really good to see. I hate it when charac ...more

May have slight spoilers.

In author Rachel Vincent's third novel of her Shifters series Pride we pick up at Faythe’s trial.

In the last novel we found out that Faythe had accidentally turned her ex-boyfriend into a werecat, which is a death sentence. Seeing as she is female and said she did it accidentally though she is going on trial for them to decide her fate. Not only that but to make things worse, Andrew said human ex turned werecat is now dead, Faythe having killed him in self-defense. But t May have slight spoilers.

In author Rachel Vincent's third novel of her Shifters series Pride we pick up at Faythe’s trial.

In the last novel we found out that Faythe had accidentally turned her ex-boyfriend into a werecat, which is a death sentence. Seeing as she is female and said she did it accidentally though she is going on trial for them to decide her fate. Not only that but to make things worse, Andrew said human ex turned werecat is now dead, Faythe having killed him in self-defense. But to the council that is judging her it just makes things look even worse.

Faythe is facing a death sentence. There are three council people that she has to convince and one of them is dead set against her and the other believes every word he says.

Not only that but the mountain where they have met, free land, is being run over by stray’s and a couple hikers have went missing soon they learn that their ‘leader’ is trying to claim the land as his territory and is after a young tabby—a female werecat—to complete his ‘pride’.

I loved this book, the trial was pretty stressful and suspenseful even though I knew Faythe was not going to die—there would not be other books in the series if she did—but even knowing that it was still pretty tense while reading it which speaks of the author’s writing.

I was very shocked in parts of this book—happenings with Marc though I won’t say what—one has to wonder how things will play out in this line because we still have Jace there as well and though Faythe does not love him like she does Marc—I think it would be possible for the two of them to have a relationship if there was no Marc in the picture.

But Faythe does love Marc and he is in the picture but Faythe is going to realize in this book just how much she messed up in the last book/past and though it is mean to say and maybe a little unfair of me—retrospect and all that—but I kind of think Faythe deserves the hurt after all she has put Marc though.

The council man Malone, the one that hates Faythe so much? Man is he a tricky one not to mention a certified ass, but again he is tricky and pretty smart he has long term plans and has put it into play in this book.

Overall again I loved this book—Rachel Vincent is a wonderful author and I can not wait to start on the next book Prey. I also think I may try her other series, the Soul Screamers series? I have heard good things about them but have never picked one up before, I am not even sure I know what they are really about. ...more

rated 3.5
If you've read my previous reviews for this Rachel Vincent Shifter series you know i have mixed feelings about it. Pride is book three and sees Faythe growing up a lot, she still has her spontaneous streak that sometimes lands her in hot water but overall her maturity was nice to see. Faythe is dealing with the fall out of 'Rogue' killing her ex boyfriend in defence has her before the council on charges of murder, if she can't prove she didn't deliberately change him and then kill him ...more

I rate this book 5 stars. This book had way more action from start to finish than the other two. I'm Really enjoying this series but,after a cliffhanger like that one I don't know what to do if Mark isn't going to be in the next one as much. I'm really liking him more so, after this book and I feel for Faythe she's trying real hard to grow up. ...more
