LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this book! I couldn't put it down! Even to the point that I woke up in the middle of the night and read for an hour just to see what happened next!Laura Diamond created a beautifully crafted story about cat shape-shifters. I fell in love with her story after reading NEW PRIDE, but SHIFTING PRIDE made me fall in love with her writing. The story grabs your attention from the beginning and doesn't let go until the very end. Fraught with danger, romance, action, adventure and even a trip to the Bronx Zoo, SHIFTING PRIDE shows a new take on shapeshifters, getting us away from the wolves. I love big cats to begin with and this novel played into that perfectly.I loved Xavian from the moment he walked onto the page. He quickly clawed his way up my "book boyfriend" list as the novel progressed. He's funny, protective, charming, irritating, and even pretty cute. ;) I love how he watched out for Nickie right from the start, even when she had no idea what was going on.Nickie is a very strong character. She made the hard decisions and followed through. She sought answers even when she wasn't sure she wanted the answers. I love Nickie.SHIFTING PRIDE is a great stand alone novel! I very highly recommend it to ANYONE who loves shape-shifters!
