Nobody believes that she can partially shift and had no idea she had infected her human ex-boyfriend. Therefore nobody believes that when she murdered him, it was in self-defense and not to cover up her crime. Stuck in the mountains, not allowed to shift or go anywhere, Faythe is climbing the walls and could do with some action.

As things goes she gets exactly what she wanted. A rogue stray is wandering the mountainside and hunting humans. During the hunt to put a stop to the stray the Pride come by a wild teenage tabbycat. Young, scared and with no idea what has happened to her, Faythe is the only woman and person around for her to trust. Will she proof herself useful enough for the tribunual to keep her alive? Will she survive the stray's attacks?

Pride is the third book in the werecat series and there is no other werecat series out there worth reading except this one. If this was a movie I would have been on the edge of my seat the whole way through. From start to finish the book is filled with action, emotion and suspense. Faythe is an amazing character, Strong, sassy and realistic she is the kind of heroine you can not only relate with but would like to be yourself.

The whole series so far has been dark, clever and addictive and Pride just adds to those attributes. This is a must read series for any were or cat lover. This is one of my favourites and I can't wait till the release of book four, Prey, in July. Rachel Vincent is an amazing writer!

From the biggest names in paranormal romance, this book is filled with over 25 stories about vampires! In the world of the undead there are strange codes of conduct, dark rituals and mating games. Lilith Saintcrow, Keri Arthur, Jenna Black, Rachel Vincent & Vicki Petterson are just a few of the great authors who contributed to this mammoth book. Vampire Romance is the name and that is exactly what you get in this huge anthology.

I could go into detail and review each individual story in this book but that would take a lot of time. The general conclusion is that this book was amazingly good for an anthology. Not only do you have a wide selection of super authors but there are also alot of brilliant stories. Some of the authors have even written stories with characters from their popular books while others show they can write something different for a change.

Sure some were not to my tastes, for instance I am not a historical vampire romance fan, however the book in general was of very high standard and a must read for any paranormal romance fans out there. This was the best anthology I have read in a while and I hope they do this kind of collection again. Of course there are some other authors I would have liked to see in this one but all in all the genre was represented very well. Oh but there were no male writers...
