Arrived today! Thanks for sending!

Ooh, I just love these books! Again, the story was gripping and I liked all the twists. Although, the love story was quite too much for me in some points but I liked it how it was solved. I'm deffinitely going to buy these into my permanent collection!

I also like it when an author knows where to stop... I don't know if Faythe Sanders would be as interesting after ten books, Sookie Stackhouse is already so worn out...

Thanks for organizing this ring!

I'll mail this book today. Travel safe! :)

Oops... I just finished the previous one and moved to this one and found out that I haven't remembered to register this. Sorry about that, book has been here already couple of weeks. It is now in the top of my reading priority.

Wow. It was so gripping. Haha, I was mostly afraid, which way Faythe was going to chooce.

But how can I live without Faythe now? I want a book about afterlife in cat world. Without adventures. How the little ones grow up and how everybody finds love. I hate, when book series end up just after all adventures, I would like read a few pages epilogy. But I think same as Appelsiini, it is great that Rachel Vincent knows when to stop.

I'll send this tomorrow to Ossiefry.

This book arrived a couple of weeks ago and I didn't manage to journal it!
I loved this book, it had me in tears a few times, but then I've been a bit emotional lately so that wasn't to difficult. Faythe's indecision between Marc and Jace was getting a bit tiresome, but I like the way it turned out. I agree it's a good time for Rachel Vincent to stop, how many adventures can one person go through in so short time?

On it's way to rrrcaron.

Received in the mail today. Have a few books to read beforehand, but will get to this one soon!

Was content with how the series ended. Hated to see the death ofFaythe's dad, and was happy she chose Mark. I'm really glad I had the chance to read this series. Thnks or sharing! Sending last 2 books to next reader...
Ruth

Ahhhhhhh the last two books :-S I don't wanna read them, I don't wanna read them, I don't wanna read them!

But I HAVE to know what happens!!! Thank you vampirequeen for this amazing spiral, cannot believe this will be the end :(

Well the last book in the series, yet it didn't make much of an impression on me as the first three books did. I don't know why, maybe it's because she couldn't choose between Marc and Jace (she does in this book), and I can't possibly relate to that.

I think the fighting should've been in more detail, and although it wasn't exactly quick, it could have been more engaging.

I really liked the ending, it kind of wrapped things up and made my life complete. However I really wish this wasn't the end. I want it to continue, I want to know that a new book is on it's way out, as I want to see how their lives continued on. Guess we may never know.

I have to admit, I was expecting a devastating ending, what with it being the last book in the series, guess that's up to you to decide whether it is or isn't.

I shall send this on in the next few days :)

Almost snatched the posties hand off when he offered these to me yesterday, so happy was I to see them. Thank you most immediately Jonniboi, and of course all others in the book-ring-spiral!

Prey, book 4, was so all consuming I was almost scared to get started with SHIFT as there are some really important things I ought to be doing just now but when I pick up this addictive series practically nothing else gets done. Hum, will I take a breather between books 4 and 5, so I can work on those "important things" ...that's a good question?

Wow, that was a blast. It took a while to come down from the tension on finishing as I was braced for yet another unforeseen tragic issue to jump up at the end. Thank goodness instead for some time for the troops to gather, grieve, assess and re-build.

From the beginning I indulged in some teeth gritting as Faythe’s choice between lovers Marc or Jace was not resolved till the last gasp – enervating pacing but I could see in the context of the plot how that was useful. On the plus side of the pacing there is more high-octane action than you could throw a stick at, an old friend re-appears to help out, and the Thunderbirds get in on the action, this time in support of Faythe’s Pride. Marc like a brilliant general comes up with a surprise option on the battle plan that alters the outcome and satisfyingly there are also many issues of deeply conflicted decision making for the characters that are the heart of Vincent’s creations!

So more torturous plotting and heart-wrenching scenes of tragedy – and yes I was in tears at the major tragedy. As the story has been working in my mind since I put the book down I have been wondering what form the future would take for Faythe her friends and family, whom I was certain would support her in her desire to follow her father’s wishes and be the Pride’s Alpha. The terrain is altered but still formidable; what now happens to the council, what will become of those who opposed reform and change now Malone is out of the picture; what about tabbies choices; there’s the issue of human partners; can strays gain recognised positions in Prides? I like the way Alpha ends with some major points altered, yes some really pivotal deaths have occurred, but much could up for grabs.

It’s a good book at that leaves those sorts of issues in its wake!

Hi Ythan – again as I did with books 3 & 4, PRIDE and PREY I couldn’t resist posting books 5 & 6, SHIFT & ALPHA to you. Here we go then the last book in this adrenaline fuelled series!

One last thing let’s all of us raise the roof with a lustily loud and echoing round of cheers for vampirequeen for setting this book-ring-spiral off on adventures that I many happy others could take part in. Many thanks from rainbow3 …

Arrived safe and sound.

Thanks very much.

Enjoyed this book and liked the ending but I still want to know more. I want to be there at their wedding, see their children grow up and how their extended family change over the years.

Would probably be best to see their future in a tv series than in a book(s). I guess I'll just have to use my imagination until/if that occurs.

Thank you vampirequeen for offering up this great series, very glad I got a chance to read it. Will really miss Faythe and her Pride.

Returning this book and Shift back home to vampirequeen.

Ooops, forgot to re-catch this one! I got it back ok!
Thanks everyone for participating and I hop you enjoyed it. Reckon I'll give em another read through and then off away for good.
