\"synopsis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prince Kael has just lost his father to an assassin, and he\u2019s the next target. A murderer is on the loose, the kingdom is in disarray, and Kael is determined to make the person responsible for killing his father pay. But falling for the beautiful Cara, panther-shifter and main suspect in his father\u2019s murder, wasn\u2019t part of the plan. He\u2019s not at all sure she did it, and he finds himself going against everything he\u2019s ever known just to claim her.<\/p>\n

The ceremonial Hunt is approaching, and mates must be chosen to run together. The hatred between the tiger and panther species is all they know. If Kael and Cara follow their hearts, it could mean treason and death.<\/p>\n

I received a copy for a honest review<\/p>\n

This is my first Harper A. Brooks book and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I love shifters stories and the take the Brooks gave is her own little spin on the beginnings of feline shifters. Her storytelling pulled me in from the beginning with how it started right away and there was no lag time between the happenings in the foreword and the story itself.
\nOur story happens during a time and place that panther shifters are shunned and hated, tigers are the ruling felines with the other feline races in the middle.
\nCara is a panther doing all that she can for her younger sister and aging grandmother. It’s hard though because being a panther they live on the outskirts of the great city where there is little animals for hunting and no one in the city wants to trade with a panther.
\nKael is the tiger prince, the next Rei or king in their world. He’s known nothing really other than his training as the next Rei and the things he’s learned from his father.
\nThe Hunt is where a male picks his mate and they run through the sacred forest hoping to receive blessings from blessed mother Sajara.
\nCara and Kael meet when the current Rei, Kael’s father, is murdered in the town square while announcing the hunt will start soon. Kael thinks that Cara is the assassin and takes chase, Cara being a hated panther does the only thing she can do…..RUN.
\nCara will doing anything for her little family including being falsely imprisoned. During the time leading up to the Hunt lots of things happen, but the most important thing I think is Kael learning that maybe his father didn’t know everything about his people and Cara learning that it’s ok to take care of her grandmother and sister, but she can not forget herself while doing so.
\nThe Hunt was a sweet little shifter story with some intrigue mixed in. I would definitely read more stories set in this shifter world.<\/p>\n

\"img_0381\"<\/a>
\nHarper A. Brooks lives in a small town on the New Jersey shore. Even though classic authors have always filled her bookshelves, she finds her writing muse drawn to the dark, magical, and romantic. But when she isn’t creating entire worlds with sexy shifters or legendary love stories, you can find her either with a good cup of coffee in hand or at home snuggling with her furry, four-legged son, Sammy.<\/p>\n

She writes historical and paranormal romance.<\/p>\n
