This Fallen Prey (Casey Duncan, #3)

by Kelley Armstrong

“Can we let him go? Please? Lay bets on how far he gets?” “Nah,” Anders says. “Lay bets on what kills him. I vote grizzly.” “Cougar,” I say. “Exposure,” Dalton says. I look at Dalton. “Boring.” “Fine, rabbits.” “But the rabbits haven’t killed anyone.” “Yet.”

That’s what we are, isn’t it? We are those vampires who cannot continue until we have picked up every grain of rice. The shepherds who cannot ignore a sheep in danger. The law keepers who cannot shoot to kill if there is room for mercy. The humans who cannot put their dog at risk, cannot let their lover suffer the loss of her pet.
