Pride by Rachel Vincent
5.0
Another amazing book in the Shifters series. Like the previous books, 'Pride' is full of action, excitement and the ever growing trouble of Faythe Sanders. However, it's the emotional and heartbreaking scenes that have kept my eyes glued to the pages this time. I thought 'Rogue' was an emotional book, but 'Pride' almost killed me. (Let me mention here that I have an extremely high respect for books that affect me emotionally. Most books can make you smile, laugh or get angry; but a book that makes you cry is hard to forget, because the characters have touched you too deeply to distance yourself from them. That is what happened with 'Pride'.)
With the way 'Rogue' ended, I'm so glad I had 'Pride' nearby. Faythe's trial is underway, conveniently located at a mountain lodge in Montana; equiped with log cabins, hiking trails and a forest full of stray toms causing serious trouble (but I don't think they advertise that one in the holiday guides). I'm not impressed with Malone and Blackwell, but every story needs a constant evil person (or people) to stir the pot. At least Faythe gave as good as she got. She's good at creating trouble and I love her for it...most of the time.
I love Greg as a father figure. He keeps impressing me with the lengths he will go to protect his daughter and Pride; and I love him calling Faythe 'kitten', teasing her because she will always be his little girl. I'm surprised with how many tabbies keep popping up. They're supposed to be pretty rare - and they are - but first Manx (in 'Rogue') and now another in 'Pride', at the rate Faythe keeps finding them, she'll start her own Pride of tabbies. There were a few gruesome scenes throughout the book, not overly described but the power of words and imagination turns minor mentions into horrific scenes; so well done to Ms. Vincent and her skill with words.
I have to say I'm really impressed that Jace managed to not get injured this time. He's learning to avoid the bad guys...and Marc's possessive temper.
And like before, I'm drawn to the romance side of the story. More than anything I want Fathye and Marc to be together, but nothing in that simple in the middle of the series. I just hope they get their happily ever after in the end. They better not have been put through hell for nothing.
While the plot may have torn me apart with emotion, it was a fabulous read and I loved every exciting moment.
5/5 Stars.
