Leopard's prey

This one was good. I like the way the lair worked. I did not see the way the mystery was coming to an end until the very end.

I enjoyed this book as it was set in LA. Despite never having lived in that region it is one that I enjoy reading about. It always feels warm, comforting, and down-home so to speak. I enjoyed this book because it tied that in along with the rich music culture of the area. It also took a slightly different and unique approach to the ever so popular “shifters” genre in romance. I do not enjoy shifter books on the whole. I find them to fall into the same tropes and avoid re-invention or different views. These are “creatures” that are open to interpretation and do not need to follow other author's rules. I did pick up two other books by the author but later DNF'd down the line due to repetitive plot points- damsel in distress, woman is clueless about the whole situation and afraid of change, men are hyper-masculinized and all-knowledgable, etc, etc. I am trying to be more objective with my ratings and changed the 5 star to a 3 star. I did enjoy this book but did not feel it was worthy of a 5 star.
