Alpha (Shifters, #6) by Rachel Vincent

Alpha (Shifters, #6)Alpha by Rachel Vincent

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The unscrupulous new Council chair has charged Jace, Marc and me with trespassing, kidnapping, murder and treason. Yeah, we've been busy. But now it's time to take justice into our own hands. We must avenge my brother's death and carve out the rot at the heart of the Council.

It's not going to be easy, and loss seems unavoidable, but I have promised to protect my Pride, no matter what. With a target on my back and Marc at my side, I'm heading for a final showdown that can—that will—change everything forever. A showdown I'm not sure I'm ready for.

But life never waits until you're ready.

Absolutely loved this book. So sad to see this series end, but definitely looking forward to reading more by Rachel Vincent. She brings her stories to life. I laughed, I cried and I cheered as I read about Faythe and her Prides adventures. Faythe had to do a lot of growing up and make some adult decisions. Wonderful final book in Rachel Vincent's were cat series.

Shift (Shifters, #5) by Rachel Vincent

Shift (Shifters, #5) Shift by Rachel Vincent


Being the first female werecat enforcer isn't easy. Scars accumulate, but I'm stronger in so many ways.

As for my personal life? It's complicated. Choices worth making always are. Ever since my brother's death and my father's impeachment, it's all I can do to prevent more blood from spilling. Now our Pride is under attack by a flight of vicious thunderbirds. And making peace with our new enemies may be the only way to get the best of our old foe.

With the body count rising and treachery everywhere, my instincts tell me to look before I leap. But sometimes a leap of faith is the only real option….



My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I remember back to when I read the first book in this series and did not care a lot for it. Too much 'cat' terminology, I think. lol Now I pre-order them because I can not wait to read the next one.

This one was non-stop action packed from beginning to end. Faythe and her Pride are attacked by Thunderbirds, who up until now were thought to be practically extinct. Further investigation leads Faythe to the truth, Calvin Malone has set up her Pride to take the fall for a crime against the Thunderbirds that one of his own enforcers is guilty of. Faythe really begins to come into her own as the next Alpha in line and starts taking charge as she has to figure out a way to prove her Pride's innocence as well as save the life of Kaci, the young tabby that she has grown to love.

We see the Prides move closer to civil war as well as see Faythe struggle with her relationships with both Marc and Jayce. Lots of things left to come in the next book and I don't want to wait till October!!

Prey (Shifters, #4) by Rachel Vincent

Prey (Shifters, #4) Prey by Rachel Vincent


Sometimes playing cat and mouse is no game…

Play? Right. My Pride is under fire from all sides, my father's authority is in question and my lover is in exile. Which means I haven't laid eyes on Marc's gorgeous face in months. And with a new mother and an I-know-everything teenager under my protection, I don't exactly have time to fantasize about ever seeing him again.

Then our long-awaited reunion is ruined by a vicious ambush by strays. Now our group is under attack, Marc is missing and I will need every bit of skill and smarts to keep my family from being torn apart. Forever.



My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love, love, love this series. This book takes up right where the last one left off. Manx is going on trial for her life while dealing with the aftermath of the abuse she faced in captivity. Kaci, the young werecat that Faythe rescued from herself, is trying to deal with the shock of her first shift in which she killed her mother and sister. As a result she refuses to shift and it is slowly killing herself.

Amidst all of this Marc disappears and it is up to Faythe to find him before it is too late. Unknowingly stepping into an elaborate plot against her father, Faythe must face tragedy as she refuses to believe that she has lost Marc forever. What an action packed, heartwrenching chapter in the lives of the Pride. I can not wait till the next book comes out!

Pride (Shifters, #3) by Rachel Vincent

Pride (Shifters, #3) Pride 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…


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love this series. Faythe is on trial for her life, accused of infecting and then murdering her human ex-boyfriend. Seems that a couple of the Alpha's on the Tribunal determining her fate have a personal vendetta against her and she could be facing the death penalty.

When a couple of hikers go missing in the area and the Pride picks up scents of strays they are forced to take action. Finding a stray tabby was not in the plan, especially one who does not seem to know what she is. Faythe is the only one who can earn the tabby's trust and find out what is going on which of course puts her right in the middle of the danger, again.

Can not wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.
