Pride by Rachel Vincent

Pride (Shifters, #4)

by Rachel Vincent

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.

If I survive my own trial...

After killing Andrew, her previously human then infected ex-boyfriend in self-defence, Faythe goes on trial for infecting a human and murder infront of the werecat's territorial couil tribunal in Montana. Calvin Malone, an Alpha for anothe pride is one of the judges, and plans on making Faythe's life hell - what she has left of it. Malone wants to go for the death penalty. The only way Faythe can save her fur is y prooving she's needed by the council. When the werecats get a visit rom a bruin - a werebear - who complains about some strays that are making an annoyance of themselves near his territory, and a very young abby shows upwith assumed memory loss, the prie and Faythe will have their paws full.

Rachel Vinent does it again! Another fantastic book- one that shows Faythe in yet another light. I can't tell you how much I love these books!

Faythe really shines in this book when it comes to helping the young tabby. We're used to strong Faythe, rebellious Faythe, loyal Faythe, but in Pride, we also get who I consider to be maternal Faythe, and sh's just awesome.

Te storyline in this book is jus brilliant, especially concerning the young tabby. You can't help but make various assumptions about her, ut Rachel pulls a new twist out the bag and you will be completely blown away by what is actually going on.

Again, not a hge amount of action in this book, as the focus is n Faythe's trial, and the tabby, but when there is action, you really are sitting on the edge of your seat; Rachel really knows how to get the adrealine pumping!

Theres a not a huge amunt more I can say without spoiling the book - which is a testament to how brilliantly Rachel plots out her books and makes every detail count. For the Jace fans, there's a lot more of him in Pride than in Rogue, but there's also a lot of Marc too, for his fan. Not all of the characters we know make an appearance in this novel, as it is not set on the Lazy S ranch, but most get a mention.

Overall, a brilliant book all Shifter's fans will love!
