Özet
PREY
Thirty-two-year-old Angie Powell has always spoken her mind, but in the presence of Dare Callahan she nurses a simmering rage. After all, why give Dare the satisfaction of knowing he can push her buttons and push her to the edge?
Three years ago, Dare returned home to rural western Montana and opened a hunting business to rival Angie’s. Complicating matters is the fact that Dare has asked Angie out (not once but twice) and has given her a gift of butterflies in the process. Angie has no patience for butterflies. They only lead to foolish decisions. And now the infuriatingly handsome Iraq war vet has siphoned away Angie’s livelihood, forcing her to close up shop.
Before Angie is to leave town, she organizes one last trip into the wilderness with a client and his guest, who wants to bag a black bear. But the adrenaline-fueled adventure turns deadly when Angie witnesses a cold-blooded murder and finds herself on the wrong side of a loaded gun. Before the killer can tie up this attractive loose end, a bear comes crashing through the woods—changing the dark game completely.
Luckily, Dare is camping nearby and hears the shots. Forced together for their very survival, Angie and Dare must confront hard feelings, a blinding storm, and a growing attraction—while being stalked by a desperate killer and a ferocious five-hundred-pound beast. And neither will stop until they reach their prey.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Mostly, cut out the repetitions, and the long-winded exposition. We don't need to hear umpteen times how Chad is underestimated by everyone, that Dare is grouchy or that Angie has low self-esteem in relationships. Linda Howard is normally good at 'show not tell' but she slipped up there. The middle part, though it did a decent job at exploring the developing relationship between the hero and heroine, went on too long for a suspense novel. The bear's point of view was odd - it didn't really fit the book. Enough could be learnt about it from exposition and his grisly actions (and remains of actions).If you’ve listened to books by Linda Howard before, how does this one compare?
Not anywhere as good as Open Season or Mr Perfect, but a decent listen. The narrator made the most of the book.Have you listened to any of Abby Craden’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I haven't, but I thought she did a good job.Do you think Prey needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, it's fine as a stand-alone.Any additional comments?
I love books about the great outdoors, so that hit the spot, and unlike some reviewers, I was not put off by the realistic description of a man-eating bear. I could have wished for more suspense throughout the book, because suddenly, we're stuck in a two-day wash-out, and the action is suspended. Linda Howard's gift for dialogue comes to the rescue to give us some fine exchanges between hero and heroine, but not enough to keep the suspense afloat (despite all that water).Good premise, too many repetitions

What was most disappointing about Linda Howard’s story?
The way she went on and on about unimportand details. It's like she had a thin story to start off with and then had to pad it out to reach a respectable amount of pages. She's usually quite good and quite funny, but the sense of humour was entirely lost in this book.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Overpronouncing the last sound in every word: womannn, passinggggg, etc. And she sounded so overly emotional ALL THE TIME. How can you sound heartbroken when talking about a stopsign? Seriously. The narrator can make or break a book and as this book wasn't great to start off with... well, she didn't exactly make it better.What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Annoyance. With myself, mainly. I had read the reviews and I should have known better.Any additional comments?
Just walk away. Don't click. Don't download. Just walk away.Don't. Just don't.
