Series Review! {Series Rating - 4 & 1/2 Stars}

I have to admit that I feel in love with this series from page one and it has been a solid relationship between me and Faythe鈥檚 world ever since.

I have to admit that I feel in love with this series from page one and it has been a solid relationship between me and Faythe鈥檚 world ever since.

Fayther is a werecat and when we meet her in Stray, she has left her fianc茅 and her life in her Pride behind in pursuit of living a normal life as a college student and not have to deal with the pressure of being one of the few Tabbys {female werecat} in the United States and having to get married and have babies.

See, the thing is, in Faythe鈥檚 world a Pride is passed on from mother to daughter, but the Alpha is the man with whom the daughter marries. Because of the power that the job entails, there is a lot of political maneuvering and it is very rare for a Tabby to get married for love.

Faythe鈥檚 parents are one of the few exceptions and Faythe herself will not accept anything else. She does love Marc, the man she has chosen as her own at an early age, but she wants to escape the political and familial pressures of the Pride, so she runs off to try and get that 鈥渘ormal鈥� life she has being vying for.

A lot happens throughout the series and Faythe鈥檚 world get turned upside down too many times to count.That emotional roller coaster is what makes this series so amazing though, and it鈥檚 impossible to deny Rachel Vincent鈥檚 talent when it comes to story telling and constructing a story and world such as the Shifters鈥� one.

I LOVE Faythe! Yes, she can be annoying, stubborn, hard to deal with, rude and infuriating at times, but her flaws are what makes her so lovable and believable in my eyes. She is also extremely strong, kick-ass, protective of those she loves, loyal and ready to fight for what she believes in no matter the consequences. All that more than balance out her annoying flaws, by far. She grows up and matures so much through these books that is a joy to follow her journey.

There is a romance in the series and it鈥檚 unavoidable to fall in love with Marc. He is the sweetest and most badass shifter, his love for Faythe is unparallel and if there is something that I really don鈥檛 like in the series is Faythe鈥檚 constant ambivalence towards their relationship. You just want to slap some sense into her sometimes and Marc鈥檚 willingness to wait for her is borderline pushover. However, their love is utterly believable and you can鈥檛 help but spend the whole series rooting for Faythe to get her act together, which becomes even more exasperating when Jace gets in the picture.

All in all, Shifters is a great Urban Fantasy series that has it all. An unique world full of wonders and believability, an awesome kick-ass heroine, a couple smexy heroes and a LOT of action. What can you want more in a book series? If you haven鈥檛 read this series yet, you seriously need to make up for lost time and get cracking! ...more

May have slight spoilers.

In author Rachel Vincent's fourth novel in her Shifters series, Prey we pick up a little after we left off in the last novel.

Marc has been banished to the free-land with all the other strays because of a political attack on Faythe鈥檚 father (the Alpha) and Faythe is on her way to see him.

Well, they are going thought the free-land to take Manx to her trail and Faythe is going to get to see Marc while they are in the free-land.

Things do not go as planned though and their r ...more

Rachel has out done herself yet again. I was very impressed with the newest addition to the Werecats series. Faythe is one individual that is constantly having to learn from her mistake the hard way. I wonder if it ever going to end. I have followed Vincent's writing from the first book, and she is one HELL of an author. Prey is the fourth book in the Werecats series. After nearly being executed for the infection and murder of her ex lover, Faythe is now in the struggle of her life when her fath ...more
