With Lion's Share coming out in just a few days, I thought I would brush up to you newbies or veterans on Rachel's self-published-new book.
I read Rachel's Shifters Series way in the beginning of 2011, yes I know I've been living under a rock at that time my bad. I immediately fell in love with Faythe, her being so strong-willed and stubborn on top of it being a Tabby werecat.
Cats are about my favorite animal in the world and I really at that time and place I was looking for something with Cats in them and that how I came across Rachel's books. It had the right components that I was looking for in a book even though I didn't know what to expect once I started reading it.
You meet Faythe's family basically, her on and off again ex-boyfriend Marc, the brother's best friend girl crush Jace and then you meet a whole lot of trouble.
I finsihed her series as quickly as I could get them since I had to order some and wait for the mail to come, and then I re-read them . . . I still love them and then I re-read them again. Still REALLY LOVE them and then I secretly wish that there was more.
Well Rachel answers everyone's hope, she decided to dive back into that world and present New Rules, New dangers and A different Alpha.
Lion's Share is taken place a couples years after ALPHA the conclusion of Faythe's journey but don't worry she'll pop in every now and then in Lion's Share in Abby Wade's point of view. Abby is Faythe's cousin had went through a pretty traumatic experience (Taken placed in Stray) being tied up, beaten, and raped. Now she's older, more stubborn, more rules breaking and is running but from what?
Lion's Share is an NA romance genre, a whole new ball game with Jace being the Alpha in this story and Abby being a nuisance to him, he has to show her who's the boss . . . MAYBE?
Abby Wade has a dangerous secret.
Two months ago, she disobeyed an order, but instead of kicking her
out of the Pride, Jace offered her a job. Since then, she’s been
battling a completely inappropriate crush on the young, hot Alpha. But
when accepting his job offer seems like the only way to keep her
skeletons safely in their closet, Abby doesn’t hesitate.
Jace Hammond has a big problem.
A rogue is slaughtering humans in his territory, and he must
eliminate the threat before the entire shifter species is exposed. There
could not be a worse time for Abby to accept a job he only offered as a
boost to her confidence. Abby is smart, beautiful, and resilient—more
than enough to distract any man from the mission. Unfortunately, she may
just be the worst enforcer ever to hold the title.
As they hunt the killer, Abby’s secret becomes a threat to Jace’s
authority and to her own life. But the real danger is the grip she has
on his twice-shy heart.

A Look back . . .
STRAY
There are only eight breeding female werecats left . . .
And I'm one of them.
I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.
Despite
reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to
continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the
night a Stray attacked.
I'd been warned about Strays --
werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me:
attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two
of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.
This brush with danger
was all my Pride needed to summon me back . . . for my own protection.
Yeah, right.
But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever -- and whoever
-- I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays -- 'cause I
got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them . . .

ROGUE
Okay, so cats don't always land on their feet.
I
know that better than most. Since rejoining the Pride, I've made big
decisions and even bigger mistakes: the kind paid for with innocent
lives. As the first and only female enforcer, I have plenty to prove to
my father, the Pride, and myself. And with murdered toms turning up in
our territory, I'm working harder than ever, though I always find the
energy for a little after-hours recreation with Marc, my partner both
on- and off-duty.
But not all of my mistakes are behind me. We're
beginning to suspect that the dead are connected to a rash of missing
human women and that they can all be laid at my feet--two or four, take
your pick. And one horrible indiscretion may yet cost me more than I can
bear...
Released in April 2008 by Mira Books
PRIDE
I'm on trial for my
life. Falsely accused of infecting my human ex-boyfriend--and killing
him to cover up the crime. Infecting a human is one of three capital
offenses recognized by the Pride--along with murder and disclosure of
our existence to a human.I'm two for three. A goner.
Now we've
discovered a rogue stray terrorizing the mountainside, hunting a wild
teenage tabbycat. It's up to us to find and stop him before a human
discovers us. With my lover Marc's help, I "think" I can protect the
vulnerable girl from both the ambitious rogue and the scheming of the
territorial council.
"If" I survive my own trial...
Released in Feburary 2009 by Mira Books
PREY
Sometimes playing cat
and mouse is no game...Play? "Right." My Pride is under fire from all
sides, my father's authority is in question and my lover is in exile.
Which means I haven't laid eyes on Marc's gorgeous face in months. And
with a new mother "and" an I-know-everything teenager under my
protection, I don't exactly have time to fantasize about ever seeing him
again.
Then our long-awaited reunion is ruined by a vicious
ambush by strays. Now our group is under attack, Marc is missing and I
will need every bit of skill and smarts to keep my family from being
torn apart. Forever.

SHIFT
Being the first female werecat enforcer isn't easy. Scars accumulate, but I'm stronger in so many ways.
As
for my personal life? It's complicated. Choices worth making always
are. Ever since my brother's death and my father's impeachment, it's all
I can do to prevent more blood from spilling. Now our Pride is under
attack by a flight of vicious thunderbirds. And making peace with our
new enemies may be the only way to get the best of our old foe.
With
the body count rising and treachery everywhere, my instincts tell me to
look before I leap. But sometimes a leap of faith is the only real
option...

Laura
Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her
obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first
library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were
routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers
when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a little
novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of
fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known.
The Forgotten Ones is her first published novel.
