Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Continuing a solid series
Review: I was delighted to discover the characters from "Judge" and "Werewolf" meet and join forces in this third book by Gherbod Fleming in the Predator and Prey series. The action scenes are brutal and nicely paced. Although depressing and dark, I throughly enjoyed the situations the hunters got themselves into... some shocking twists too. I'm totally hooked on this series and can't wait for the finale in "Executioner".

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Predator and Prey got off to a great start in my opinion. Vampire and Judge, the first two in the series, were both great reads. The third book, Werewolf, was an ok read with the hope that maybe it was a "setting the stage" book and the series would go back on track. I thought this book was a more interesting story than the third and in that sense it was better than the last, but I'm really getting sick of the characters. They're still all wrapped up in the same place that they were in previous novels, leaving me wondering if they're going to spend the next several books whining and moaning and griping at each other and making self-destructive choices. But, as said, it's well written and an interesting tale for all that. As long as you can put up with listening to a bunch of poor me, no one understands, I'm the only one in the world with that problem... so on, et al. I can't, hence a mediocre rating.

Summary: Here are the missing chapters from P&P: Werewolf!
Review: The most important thing I can say about Predator and Prey: Jury is that it is more of an extension of Predator and Prey: Werewolf than its own story. So, if you haven't read P&P: Werewolf yet, you need to go get it in order to understand and connect with the characters in this book. If you've already read and enjoyed that novel, then you'll probably find something of interesting in P&P: Jury, which picks up where the other left off.

As to THIS book - well, there's not a whole lot to say. A strange coincidence brings the characters from Predator and Prey: Judge to the home town of the characters in Predator and Prey: Werewolf, and general chaos ensues. I didn't find the book particularly interesting, as it just felt like "missing" chapters from _Werewolf_ were stretched out to create an entire novel with no new "substance" added. There are two big battles in this book and A LOT of people die (some you wouldn't expect), but there really isn't much else to it. I can't recommend it to people that aren't into the World of Darkness nor to those that haven't read the earlier books. If you are a hardcore fan that wants to read the "missing chapters" from P&P: Werewolf, though, this book is for you.

Side note: One of the stories in _Inherit the Earth_ is actually a chapter FROM P&P: Werewolf. Just an interesting little tidbit there.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: The P&P-series had a great start. P&P: Vampire and P&P:Judge were both two great books, P&P:werewolf was ok. This one ,unfortunately, is the worst in the series so far. The characters from P&P:Judge and P&P:Werewolf are here brought together. That is Douglas Sands, Kaitlin and Black Rindle. The book is filled with depressive social-realism. Kaitlin's perspective which was refreshing in P&P:Werewolf is in this book excruciatingly boring. If you are looking for horror and a plot with surprises, then don't read this book. Nothing that happens here is surprising.
Contents? the wyrm, hunters vs werewolf, pregnancy
Let us hope the next book brings this series back on track.
