Clearly the author does not disappoint in this book. I loved it! I love the sexiness of the names, and that good Cajun alpha male writing. This book also has a thrilling plot with a serial killer(s). Bijou and Remy have excellent chemistry and the heat of the mating is amazing. This book is going on my. Keeper shelf!!
I can not recommend this book enough. I love all of Christine Feehan's books. Leopard's Prey is Remy Boudreaux's story and he lives up to the anticipation he built when he entered the scene the first time in Savage Nature. This is a fantastic book and I recommend to everyone.
There are just some authors that when I pick up a book, I might as well just ensure I have the time to sit and read it through. Ms. Feehan happens to be one of those authors and this was one of those books.
Amazing book, as expected of an exceptional author that brings the bayou and shapeshifter society into new focus. I love the vividness of these stories and the "real" problems of people. Sprinkled with a little fantasy and lots of love, this book keeps you hooked until the end. And you don't want to know how often I changed my opinion on who the murdering culprit is - the clues kept pointing to different people! It was maddening and exhilarating at the same time.
I can recommend this series, and especially this book, to any fan of Feehan, shapeshifter romance lovers and murder suspense readers. It's exceptionally good! You'll enjoy it.

"I'm goin' to kiss you, Blue. So don' do anythin' rash."
She blinked at him. "Why?"
"Because I know a thing or two about makin' a public statement." His hand slipped to her throat, and he lowered his head that scant few millimeters to her mouth.
Time stopped for her. The ground under her feet shifted. He led her right over a cliff where there was no way back. Lights danced at the back of her eyes and her body seemed to melt against his. Her body didn't feel her own anymore. He'd lain claim to her and all he'd done was kiss her.
Christine Feehan has always been a must read author for me. I didn't like Paranormal romance until I read her Dark Series, and I fell in love. Then when she started on this shifter series of Leopards, I was captivated. I would say that Leopard's Prey is going to be added to the top of the list of favorites. From the previous book Savage Nature, we are introduced to the Boudreux family, and we see quite a bit of Remy, when I heard that the next book would be his story, I learned that patience was NOT one of my virtues. Now for those of you who haven't read this series yet, it isn't mandatory to read the previous books, but I would recommend reading Savage Nature before you read this.
Remy, as a homicide detective, has been searching for a serial killer, and he is determined to find him before he kills more. When he returns home from New Orleans, he comes across a woman he hasn't seen in years, but has constantly thought of Bijou or also known as "Blue". A Beautiful and mesmerizing Jazz singer, who is the daughter of one of the most popular rock and roll singers. On the surface most people see Bijou as stuck up and spoiled, but Remy knows that is far from the truth. He knows that she was raised in a home without a mother, and a father who only dragged her around for more fame and glory. But when she returns home, both he and his leopard are drawn to her, and he comes to the realization that she is his mate...his to protect and love. Bijou has had to do things in order to protect herself. She grew up with drugs and sex being a top priority to her father, but Remy showed her how someone can truly care about a person, and she was determined that her life would not be her fathers. Now she wants to sing Jazz and settle down at home. But there is a serial killer on the loose, and has focused on her. Remy is overwhelmed with his feelings for Bijou, but he will have to find the killer before he destroys everything that Remy holds dear.
Remy is a full on ALPHA male, he needs absolute obedience from those under him. When he discovers that Bijou is his mate, all of his leopard instincts go into overdrive, and he can barely control them. I loved that even though Remy likes control, he doesn't go all domineering on Bijou, he respects her and I loved how sweet and tender he is at times, but then other times he is very like a alpha male, but in a way that will make the room sizzle and spark. Remy just had me from page one. Bijou is very independent and strong willed, and the last thing that she wants is some alpha male trying to control her movements. I enjoyed how she stands up to him, and doesn't let him run over her. She does have some vulnerabilities that I found endearing in her, and I could help but love her and her strong spirit.
I absolutely adored Leopard's Prey!! An amazing story that reminds you of why Feehan is the queen of paranormal romance (at least for me she is). This one is probably one of her best work. A stellar story that has the pages filled with sensual romance, intensely packed suspense story, and a setting that is enriched with history and passion. A sexy read that everyone has to have in their library. A story that sparks from beginning to end, and will have you at the edge of your seat! You are in for one hell of a ride folks!! A AMAZING STORY TO MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THE MAGIC OF NEW ORLEANS!

I have said before that Christine Feehan is one of my favourite authors and that will never change. I love everything she writes.
Leopards Prey follows Remy Boudreaux, a homicide detective (who we were first introduced to in Savage Nature) and Bijou (Blue) Breaux a jazz singer and daughter to Bodrie Breaux, a very popular rock and roll singer.
Remy knew Blue from when she was an 8 year old child. He rescues her one night from an incident and when he goes to take her home is disgusted by what he finds her father and friends doing and decides she is not safe at home either. He leaves her with Pauline Lafont (a character we again first met in Savage Nature). Not long after that he left and joined the service and never saw her again, other than regularly following her in the news.
Remy is now back home and Blue is also back home to stay. It is not long before sparks fly and Remy realises Blue is his mate.
Remy is investigating a serial killer called the Bone Harvester who leaves 4 bodies over around a two week period. When Blue notices that the places the murders take place are all the same place/date/month/year of here she has done gigs they start to wonder if it is a coincidence or are they linked somehow to Blue. And then when attempts to murder Blue start to happen, Remy needs to solves things as quickly as possible, however there are multiple suspects for who could be after her.
I have read this book 6 times now, and each time I forget who the Bone Harvester killer is until his name comes up.

Oh thank the gods, I am finally done with this book. This story was a complete and utter bomb for me, I cant believe this made it past the editing department.
This was beyond predictable, the amount of effort that was put into just how cold and detached the murderer was was a bit over kill and then some. It was like pulling teeth waiting for Ms. Feehan to finally tie the details together.
My second big complaint was the impractical sex scenes. Um if your jumping someone for the first time, and they are insanely sensitive and insecure in your intentions and you go immediate into the "rough" stuff, more than a few girl's first response wont be 'oh baby' but get the fuck off. Im completely unimpressed by the lack of consideration for what some girls first times can be like and how Ms. Feehan seems to believe that writing how they can all be perfectly fine with rough sex the first time around.
Point number three, as someone with Ling hair, I can say just how fucking impractical it is Bijou has hair that goes down to her butt, and yet, they can have perfect wild sex and not get caught. How she can save Arnaud in muddle water and save him from drowning under a tree but not get caught herself. How she can have a single clip in her hair and not have medusa style hair going on.
Over all this book was drivel and even the overly done sex wasnt even interesting in the end.

Well... That was a book. While it had some lovely high points and some interesting concepts and I love that there was a mystery that almost completely overrode the romantic plot. I enjoyed the banter and the fierceness of the sister and the brothers and the bonds. I was less than enamored of the main couple because the whole thing came across more than a little creepy-stalky. Not Edward-Bella level but definitely not quite healthy and I am glad someone slapped the hero upside the head over his excuses that it was all his leopard's fault. There were also way too many villains and suspects. It went beyond complex and into the realm of ludicrous.
The sex scenes? Started out hot and then moved onto repetitive as they happened more and more.

This was my favorite of the series. They all are easy reads and I have liked several characters more than Remy and Bijou but for some reason this book just comes together on all ends. It really isn't a mystery who the killer is but you will see when you read it.
Remy is dreamy but truly I am a Drake fan. I give this book 3 1/2 stars.
