    About this ebook



    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...

      I love this series once I start reading I can’t put them down till the very end
    • 5/5
      I am still loving this series. I am enjoying all the twists and turns of the series. I sometimes see what's coming, but more often then not, I'm blindsided. I love that about a good book. I love not seeing what's coming. It makes me want to keep reading.I love Faythe and Marc's interactions. I am starting to like Faythe, she's starting to grow up but she still has a long way to go. I can't wait to see what comes next, especially since Marc has been exiled from the Pride.

      Bought for MyselfRead for the BBA Series ChallengeOverall Rating 4.75Audio Rating 4.50Story Rating 4.75Character Rating 4.75Note: Hard to believe a series that I barely stuck with after the first book because of not liking the heroin has come such a long way! I LOVED this book and at this point I am totally hooked.What I LOVED: Faythe has come a long way baby! I can honestly say that I really care what happens to her. The way she handled the 13 year old tabby is what really turned the tide for me. That entire storyline was magnificent. Pride really yanked at all my emotional heart strings. Faythe's dad has always been a favorite of mine. In Pride, he is absolutely, by far, my favorite character. What he does for his Pride and Faythe is just the epitome of true love and loyalty.What I LIKED: I can't give anything away but I am trying to figure out where the Malone story is going. I know where I would like it to go (Paging Hannibal) but it is adding an extra layer of conflict that is interesting to see play out. The back and forth between Faythe and Marc is playing out slowly but I feel their connection. Their love story is secondary to me but truly important to the story. Marc is a fantastic character and a good representation of what is possible with a Stray. I really liked Keller, the bruin. I hope he shows up again through out the series.Complaints: NoneWhy I gave is a 4.75: This book knocked me on my *ss and really pulled every emotion out of me. I can't wait to read the rest!
    • 4/5
      highly entertaining book. I was on an emotional roller coaster along with Faythe. The staid old fashoned rules of the pride made me want to rebel along with the strays and Faythe.

      Review for “Pride” by Rachel Vincent Faythe is on trial for her life in this third installment of the Werecat books. Things don’t look promising, Faythe’s turned her ex boyfriend by accident, then killed him in self defense. But in Faythe‘s world it is guilty until proven innocent. Since she has no witnesses, things look grim. But the political currents swirling underneath this trial run deep. Someone is trying to manipulate Faythe and her family like puppets. A female teenage werecat is running loose on the mountain as well. Time to save the family, the kid and herself, but what is it going to cost.I really love this series. It gets more intricate, more exciting and richer in character with every book.
    • 4/5
      This book pretty much continues where the last one (Rogue) ended. Faythe is in the fight for her life, cause of one small accident. I kinda have a love/hate relationship with Faythe. She is a great heroine, but sometimes her actions are really dumb. You just want to shake her.I loved this story, I thought it was a much better than book two. It was entertaining, driven, shocking as well having some heartbreaking moments. Plus the plot wasn't all about Faythe this time. A new tabby has come on to the scene. I hope we'll see more of her in the next book. I was hoping for a different ending, but it could have been alot worse. I don't want to spoil too much, so if you read the book you'll understand what I mean. If your fan of shifter books, this is definitely one to check out.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book. I was bummed how Faythe and Marc's relationship turned out. I am ready for them to marry and have kids. They are the perfect couple, even if Faythe wants to be stubborn and not see it. This book went really fast for me. I think it was because I wanted to know how Faythe's trial turned out, and if she was going to be found guilty for killing Andrew and infecting him. I really enjoyed the finding of Kaci in this book too. Even though I could not believe all of the things she did when she first turned into a cat. It was just a really fun twist to the story, since books 1 and 2 explained there aren't that many Tabby's-girl cats-out there. I could not stand Calvin Malone in this book. Not that he made the story bad, because he didn't. He actually made the story better because he makes you so mad by the way he acts. He is one of the Alpha's in the book and he goes through every angle to make sure he can get to the top of the counsel. He is a slime-ball.
    • 5/5
      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!
    • 5/5
      Faythe's trial is on the run in a secluded mountain area and it's not looking good. Two out of three alphas standing as judges are against her, and her claws isn't the worst she could loose.Unsuprisingly, Faythe's future isn't the only one at stake because another alpla seems pretty inclined to drag Greg (Faythe's father) into the dirt.Pride's affair aside, a couple as been missing for a few days and the pride is forced to get their hands dirty after being informed by a surprising visitor that strays were most likely evolved in that disappearance. But nothing is what it seems!As always I am deeply in love with Faythe and Marc, their break up is sad but more tragical events are in the way. The turn out of events really broke my heart and I hope they find a way to avoid the hopeless situation they are stuck in.The book was fast paced, plot is well knot, action packed, suspense kills you 'til the end. All you can ask for is in that book. I said it before, but if you haven't read that series, it's a crime. You must read it!Off to read prey now!
    • 5/5
      I was saddened by Marc leaving Faythe because he was forced into it. The whole way that they tricked her into letting him leave so a "pure blood" could be accepted wasn't any better than what the bad guys from the previous books had planned for her. I am dying to know if Marc and Faythe ever actually do get married and what happens between Kaci and Jace.
    • 3/5
      I started reading Pride REALLY wanting to like it. I mean, it has one of those great covers that demand that you pick up the book and start reading. And the premise of the book was really compelling, too. It stars a young female werecat (referred to as a tabby) who is on trial for her life. Faythe stands accused of not only deliberately infecting her ex with lycanthropy, but also murdering him to cover up the crime. And she doesn’t have enough friends in high places to guarantee an acquittal. Or even a slap on the wrist sentence. Not a bad plot, huh?Honestly, I expected this book to read more like the majority of the urban fantasy or supernatural romance novels I’ve read. You know, lots of excitement, interaction between supernatural beings of all shapes and sizes, conflicting romantic interests, erotic moments, and lots of blood and violence. Quite frankly, I got almost none of the above.I think the biggest problem was using Faythe’s trial as the central theme of the book. Over and over, we are drawn back to tribunal. Repeating facts, having the law of the pride repeated to us. It is almost like a lesson in werecat law and social hierarchy that drags out for hundreds of pages. And when there are so many other far more exciting plot lines left unexplored, it is like a smack in the fact to a potentially phenomenal book. Aside from the trial, there isn’t a whole lot going on. A few strays causing a little bit of trouble on the mountainside. Of course, one of the strays ends up being a tabby named Kaci, and in werecat society such a thing is unheard of. Kaci’s story is actually the most interesting part of the whole book. While you will most likely figure out a part of the mystery surrounding her, you will also be shocked at the end by the rest.All in all, I give Pride three (very generous) stars. It wasn’t a bad book by any stretch of the imagination. But it was full of so much wasted potential…
    • 5/5
      Okay, for starters, if you haven't read either of the first two books in this series, I seriously suggest that you do, otherwise you may end up lost and not really getting the story of what's happening. In Pride, there is a lot going on with Faythe and Marc and the territorial council!Up in the mountains, the council has convened a trail for Faythe and her crimes, but needless to say if you're a fan of Faythe, we all know how her mouth tends to get her in trouble. Which it does, plenty of times throughout the book! But what I loved about this book in particular was that Faythe knew what needed to be done whether or not she was going to get into trouble, especially if she had the others behind her. Especially when Kaci was discovered to have been a werecat and not just any werecat cause she's not a stray either! Hmmm....I'll let you sit on that one. And if you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about.But even with all of the stuff that she did, killing a rogue and helping with Kaci, in the end, she ended up losing something very important to her. But we all know that there is going to be more and I can't wait to dig my claws into Prey!Rachel Vincent has always had very interesting and flawed characters. Faythe is far from perfect and her character tells you that almost all the time. Marc loves her but would do anything to make sure that she is safe. Her father, although very proud, had some difficult choices to make in this book too! So it seemed that even though everything turned out okay, there is still more to the story. Rachel's plots are so intricate - that I feared for Faythe even though she is a fictional character. Certain parts of the story almost made tears come to my eyes. That's how close I've gotten to the characters within that plot! We'll have to wait and see what's going to happen in Prey!
    • 4/5
      In this book Faythe is on trial for her life. During the trial, at a Montana resort, tensions run high when local hikers are missing and a bruin (a shape-shifting bear) identifies local strays as the culprits and events mean that once again Faythe is at the centre of the action. This is an interesting series of books and Rachel Vincent is adept at keeping her readers guessing at the possible outcome.
    • 5/5
      Rachel Vincent is one amazing author. I love her books, and can not wait for each new book. Pride was another in the fabulous Werecats series. Faythe on trail for her crime of infecting a human by accident began the rollercoaster of this book. I am beside myself with the outcome of Faythe and Marc's unique situation. The introduction of a new tabby was refreshing in this book, also that she is a tabby with a nack for more trouble than Faythe was very entertaining. I will be anxiously awaiting the next book to see if the Faythe and Marc can save theirselves and the pride.
    • 4/5
      This book sees Faythe on trial for the killing of Andrew. Whilst this does create a nicely delimited source of tension, particularly when it appears that they intend to execute her, the fact that inside the front cover advertises the next book rather gives the game way. Faythe's battles against repressive alpha males aren't new, and giving her new males to have to fight against doesn't make them spark into fresh life. The fact that one of the judges is wilfully ignoring all the evidence for political gains could well pay off in later books, but it's a trope that's well worn and there's nothing surprising in this example of it.There is a lot less action than in other books - at least in part because a lot of it focusses on the politics, and that's a shame because what action there is certainly makes things run a lot more smoothly. Most of the side plot focusses on a werebear who comes to complain that cats are playing by his hut, and of course they're strays. There's some fun and games and some seriously icky moments with this - there is at least one stray who is insane to be dealt with. There is also what appears to be a stray tabby around, although the reminder of the genetics of werecats gave away the twist quite easily.All that said, it's still a good solid 4-stars for me, and I will look forward to the next book, hoping it picks up again.
    • 5/5
      "Pride", gets my highest starred rating for the series thus far. "Pride" is the third in Rachel Vincent's Werecats series and my favorite to this point. As I was reading the book I was thinking this book would be about a four star rating, but as I look back at the tale, I can't find a thing to justify taking off a star. "Prey" picks up where the "Rogue" left off. Werecat Fayth has infected her ex-boyfriend and than left him, creating an environment in which he went crazy without another were's guidance. Fayth never realized she even infected him, since she was in human form at the time. When he attacked her, Fayth killed him in self-defense. Now she is at the mercy of the Werecat Tribal Council. What are they seeking? Since there are some prejudiced members of the 'jury', they are seeking the death penalty. Since Faythe hasn't any desire to breed werecat babies, she must prove her value to the werecat community, if she has any hope of staying alive. Now they are sheltered at a lodge up just south of the Canadian border in free territory. Recently some hikers dissapeared and that mystery leads them to a group of stray, crazed werecats, amoung other things. Can Faythe prove her worth, by helping to capture the werecats? The werecat politics detailed here are intriguing, the 'evil' werecat alpha may have been more evil than the stray murdering werecats, and a new young tabby is introduced. Marc and Fayth have some issues playing out with their relationship as well, but its certainly not the main focus...(thats a good thing, in my book). I actually found Marc to be more well drawn and unique than in the first two books, where I couldn't really decide if I liked him for Fayth or not. My favorite character by far here is a new one and I hope not one just introduced for this volume. He is Keller, a werebear or bruin, who lived in the mountains and Fayth believes he and others like him are the true 'bigfoots' people have reported seeing over the years. I would really like to see more from this unique and intriguing character. Fayth hasn't been my favorite lead female character, and she is still too impulsive and self-involved, but she makes some strides here. Her compassion and tenderness with the new tabby shows Faythe is a good hearted person, her affection for her father is also fun to watch here. While she is still far too impetious, at least in this installment, she is more aware of the consequences for being that way. I have to also point out that Vincent does one of the best jobs of ending a serial book that I have found. She manages to wrap up 'most' all of the main mysteries or stories going on in the book with her climax and then leaves several intriguing threads that make a reader more than a little eager to read the next one. I can see several directions Vincent could take the Werecat books, and the possibilites are astounding!
