Christine Feehan is a New York Times bestselling author known for her captivating paranormal romance novels, and her Leopard Series is no exception. This series explores the world of shapeshifters and their complex relationships with humans and other supernatural beings.
The plot of Leopard’s Prey revolves around Joshua Tregre, a powerful leopard shifter who is the head of security for his clan. When he meets Sonia, a human woman who is being targeted by a dangerous criminal organization, he becomes her protector.
As their relationship develops, they must navigate their differences and the challenges of their dangerous world. The story is set in the Louisiana bayou, and the vivid descriptions of the setting add to the atmosphere of the novel.
One of the strengths of Leopard’s Prey is the character development. Joshua and Sonia are complex and well-written characters with distinct personalities and motivations.

The plot structure is well-crafted, with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged. The themes of family, loyalty, and love are woven throughout the novel and add emotional depth to the story.
However, Leopard’s Prey is not without flaws. The writing can be repetitive at times, and some of the dialogue feels stilted.
The plot is also predictable in some places, but the strong characters and action scenes make up for this.
Overall, Leopard’s Prey is a thrilling addition to Christine Feehan’s Leopard Series. The well-written characters, exciting action scenes, and immersive setting make for a captivating read.
