Summary: Coonor Vega, physically and emotionally scareed by his past has returned to the lust, exotic landscape of the Panama rainforest - his birthplace, and hopefully an escape from the guilt that consumes him. Free to roam at last, the leopard in him longs to take control, but knowing how dangerous that would be, Connor must resist. However, there are more serious issues to deal with. Connor's been brought back for a specific purpose: to help save his people from an evil threatening their existence, and to avenge his mother's brutal murder. And this time he means to take care of buisness.

Review: this book started in the middle and by the middle of the book it had pretty much ended. Or at least the romance, or love part of the story. But it was hard to keep on reading, though you should, it was an awesome end. It’s just that the whole time I was reading it I felt as if I was missing so much. Even though she had done it so we knew what the hell was going on with them, and there past. It still had a feel of something special hidden. Almost like you were a voyeur to the whole story, it’s actually very weird. Or I find it that way. It’s like it needs something more. like there should be a short story about what happened before this book, that to me would make this book a lot more interesting, as it is, it’s mostly about a chick in love with someone who’s betrayed her, her becoming a leopard, so she’s horny, and half way through the book they have made up and are together forever. But that’s not all of the book, it just seems to take up all of your mind. Really a rogue wanting her, and kidnapped children, a sadist couple, who aren’t a couple anymore and an old man who can make you feel save when all you should be doing is running in the opposite direction. All done in a rainforest that’s use mostly for killing humans, trafficking and drug running. It’s exciting and thrilling and makes you want to have someone like that loving you. It’s... a great book, but...

Pod deets: Leopard People series, book five

Pub: 2011, The Berkley Publishing Group

Format: paperback, mid; 367pp w/21 chapters

whose: Drake & Saria

summary: When Saria Boudreaux finds a dead body in the Louisiana bayou near her home, her first instinct is to go to the police. But there's a problem: It looks as if the victim may have been killed by a big cat - and her brothers are all shape-shifting leopards. 

  Sent by the land's owners to investifate, leopard-shifter Drake Donovan is ready for anything - except the insatiable hunger that rocks him when he meets Saria. Deep in his soul he knows that she is destined to be his mate. Torn between protecting her brothers and finding the truth, Saria treads warily around the powerful shifter. Yet as they venture deep into the mysterious bayou on a hunt for the killer, Saria finds herself longing for Drake's touch and the sweet realse of surrender.

Review: This book was really good, though I found to be a little repetitive in descriptions threw the thoughts but the first thing I love about this book is Saria. She’s a great lass, with her neglect, her childless childhood and her streak of independence, she’s the type of woman you would think is going to be annoyingly bossy but she’s not. And she’s something perfect. Really I loved her character in this book. Though maybe it helps that Drake is her mate and that he’s the type of man that any woman would die to have love them. it’s one of those books that wasn’t anything you would expect because nothing threw the whole book was expectant. You were thrown from one moment to the next, thinking you know what the hell was going on, when you had no real idea and even when you are pretty sure you know who the killer is, you could be so wrong.

   Its one of those books that is interesting to a point that it nearly becomes boring, but I think that could be for the fact that you didn’t know where it was going, you always had to think, always had to remember things that you didn’t think was all that important. But it’s good, I love her concept of leopard people it’s done so well.
