Leopard’s Prey, book 6 of the Leopard Series by Christine Feehan @authorcfeehan. We all know I am a fan of Christine’s. 🤩And of course, this is a reread of the series for me!
I absolutely loved this book about Remy (Saria’s oldest brother) & Bijou (Saria’s childhood friend) so much! If you like MF, PNR, Leopard Shifters, & a strong FMC that tells the MMC how it is, then you will love this book!

Sixth in the Leopard People paranormal romance series. This story is set in the bayous of Louisiana, and the couple focus is on Bijou Breaux and Remy Boudreaux.
My Take
This one was weird. I liked the story idea, but I don't know what Feehan was thinking when she was writing as there were so many lame, oddly worded sentences, some of which have extra words that don't fit. Then there's that "accent" Feehan has written for her characters. It's not ringing true for me. I suspect I should go back and re-read Savage Nature, 5, and see if Feehan used the same styling.
If you're thinking of becoming a star in any field, read this. It may well turn you off the whole idea.
As I said, I like the story even if it does use the poor little rich girl cliché. Bijou does learn from past mistakes, and she takes a good man as her role model. I also appreciated that Feehan didn't stoop to the newly-deflowered-virgin who runs after her first time with a man. Although I am getting a bit tired of the conflict always having to be the age gap between two people.
I understand Bijou not wanting Remy to see her all messy, but is it really worth her life?? Then there's the tried-and-true "conflict" of not telling one of the protagonists information that can save her life or change the kinds of decisions she makes. Dorky and stupid. The invasion by Dion and Robert is clumsy. Loose thread about Bijou's mama's death. If Bijou never took anyone home due to embarrassment, then how did her daddy still manage to seduce them?
I'm getting bored...
The Story
Saria and a friend found a tortured body in the swamps and Remy is quickly called in. It's a double whammy for Remy as the killer is a serial killer who had disappeared four years ago. Now he's back. And so is Bijou, the girl-woman Remy has been obsessed with for years.
Being with her, protecting her, loving her, Remy learns too much about himself as well as the horrors of Bijou's life.
The Characters
Bijou "Blue" Breaux is the poor little rich girl with the daddy I'd'a like ta have strung up by his balls: Bodrie Breaux, the most famous rock star in history. Bijou inherited her daddy's talent, but not his morals. Arnaud Lefevre is Bijou's best friend and an incredible artist. Rob Butterfield is Bijou's manager; Jason Durang works for him and has been following Bijou.
Remy Boudreaux is a homicide detective in New Orleans with a well-deserved reputation. With sixteen years between him and Bijou, he's holding off. Saria is his little sister; his brothers include Gage, a sheriff of the parish, and Mahieu.
Angelina is one of the NOPD cops, and she's doing research for Remy. Dr. Louis LeBrun is the medical examiner. Judge Thomasson is corrupt.
Fellow leopards in the bayou include:
A newly pregnant Saria, who is gaining a name for her photography and still roaming the swamps, is happily married to Drake Donovan, who is bringing order and rules to the leopard clans. And they're happy with their B&B, the Lafont Inn (see Savage Nature).
Joshua Tregre and Elijah Losposts are both leopards and working as bodyguards at Bijou's club. More leopards are Logos, Dash, and Dion and Robert Lanoux who are brothers.
Pete Morgan is/was a shrimper, loyal to wife, family, and friends. Eulalie Chachere is a voodoo priestess whom Remy has consulted in the past. Thereze and Emile run a simple cafe with fabulous food.
Ryan Cooper insulted Bijou at the cafe when he tried to get her phone number; his friend, Brent Underwood was with him. Tom Berlander and Robert Lanoux, one of the leopards, are more of Ryan's friends. They hang with Jean and Juste Rousseau, a couple of criminal ringleaders on whom the police can't find anything. Bob Carson is a photographer from her past and a real scum bucket.
Catching up...
Emma Bannaconni is pregnant again and Jake is terrified.
The Cover
Between the threatening green and orange sky hovering over New Orleans architecture and the hologram title, the cover is a bright flash sandwiching Remy and his leopard.
The title could refer to the serial killer Remy is hunting, or it could focus on the woman he wants for his own, for both are Leopard's Prey.

This is the second book in this series that I’ve read. And this one is a definite improvement on Wild Rain. The plot (although still pretty over the top) was enjoyable. The Characters were interesting and the sex scenes were fun. Would have liked it if the murderer hadn’t been so obvious. I knew who it was the moment the character was introduced.

I enjoyed this book as it was set in LA. Despite never having lived in that region it is one that I enjoy reading about. It always feels warm, comforting, and down-home so to speak. I enjoyed this book because it tied that in along with the rich music culture of the area. It also took a slightly different and unique approach to the ever so popular "shifters" genre in romance. I do not enjoy shifter books on the whole. I find them to fall into the same tropes and avoid re-invention or different views. These are "creatures" that are open to interpretation and do not need to follow other author's rules. I did pick up two other books by the author but later DNF'd down the line due to repetitive plot points- damsel in distress, woman is clueless about the whole situation and afraid of change, men are hyper-masculinized and all-knowledgable, etc, etc. I am trying to be more objective with my ratings and changed the 5 star to a 3 star. I did enjoy this book but did not feel it was worthy of a 5 star.

We met Saria Boudreux’s brothers in Savage Nature. Homicide cop, leopard-shifter Remy Boudreux is the oldest and on the hunt for a serial killer that threatens everyone he loves and their way of life. It is not the best time for a big eyed waif from their past to return to the bayou and steal his heart but that is exactly what happens in this wonderful new addition to Christine Feehans’ Leopard series. This book has all the fast paced adventure, mind bending mystery and steamy romance you expect from Ms. Feehan.

I think I probably should have read this one instead of listening to it. I'm all for hot & heavy romance novels, but when it takes a trip back & forth to work (over an hour) to get through one love scene ... well, it may just fall into an erotica instead of a paranormal romance. Just saying.
Having said that, I love Remy & Blue. I adore all the leopards, and this was a great addition to that world. Mahieu totally cracked me up. I'm looking forward to the day he gets a book (hopefully).
It took a bit to weed through all the lust to get to the whole serial killer/stalking/murder for hire muck though. I definitely had a OMG I JUST FIGURED OUT WHO THE SERIAL KILLER IS moment though. I love when that happens (and I end up guessing right).

So when I finally found out who did it, I was so surprised, and at the same time, it made sense. Unlike this review. ;) When the murderer is first introduced in the story, I immediately thought this person did it! But then as the story goes on, it's like there is no way! Very sneaky.
