Veena’s review of Leopard’s Hunt (Leopard, Book 15) by Christine Feehan
Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 20 Feb 24
Gorya Amurov maintains his calm facade, no matter the provocation, and has built himself a reputation of being the family peacekeeper. Unbeknownst to his family, his leopard is almost out of control and this last assignment that he takes on to head up a territory in Louisiana and put it to rights will most likely be his last. Little does he know that his life is about to change in far-reaching ways.
Maya Averina has lived a life too sad and devastating to tell, and now she has fashioned herself into a finely honed weapon, avenging herself on all those who have harmed her and the people she considers family. The last thing she expects is to be trapped by someone she would normally consider beneath her, but before she can rescue herself, a leopard sweeps in and does it for her – a leopard with a familial line she has reason to hate.
Two damaged people brought together by events outside of their control, do they even have a chance of a future? The story takes them into the past and brings them back into the present as they battle old enemies and work hard to survive, surrounded by Gorya’s bodyguards and his cousin, who has come to shield Gorya’s back.
Another winner in the series, fast-paced action with some suspense and unforeseen truths.
Grade: A
