I got this one from Netgalley as an eARC in turn for a fair and honest review. Â Rebecca was a member of the Pride as a child and was kicked out of the pride as a teenager because she didn’t have the ability to shift forms, now several years later the Pride brings her back to solve a murder of one of their own. Â A photo of the dead shapeshifter in mid change is sent to a tabloid reporter, so Rebecca must prevent their secrets from being revealed as well. Â Her investigation leads her back to the Pride as one of their own is the killer.
The one thing I liked about this book is that it took place in Canada, so place the author had described I had been to so that was kinda cool, and that was where the cool factor ended. Â I read almost exclusively Urban Fantasy so I have read some really exceptional books and have some pretty high standards. Â The thing with Blood of the Pride is, it wasn’t a bad book but it wasn’t particularly memorable or original. Â While I do realize that it is extremely hard to come up with something new especially in this genre but something has to hook your interest the plot, the
characters…something. Â Sadly here that wasn’t the case.
The story moved along at a good pace so it was a quick read, but the story just wasn’t engaging enough for me. Â I didn’t care who committed the murder or if they found them or not. Â I found the romance between Rebecca
and Brandon just kinda bland, there was no conflict no tension nothing to get into. Â I read a ton of books on weres and in this one I honestly couldn’t figure out til the end if they changed in to big cats; lions, tigers etc or house cats or something in between. Â So for me this book is a 2.5/5 it didn’t suck but didn’t have a lot to recommend it either, I
doubt I will grab any other books by this author.
2.5 stars.  Meh could take it or  leave it.
