Are you an adventure lover? A thrill seeker? A back to nature sort of person? If you answered yes to any one of these questions then PREY by Linda Howard might be the perfect book for you. However, if you're more like me, a couch potato who doesn't even like to think about camping and other outdoor activities that test my survival skills even if only in the pages of a book, then PREY may not be the book for you.

Angie Powell has returned home to take over her deceased father's business. What was once a prosperous business is now facing difficulties because of the economy, and because a rival has set up "camp" right next door. Dare Callahan is a former military man, and runs a hunting guide business right next to Angie's. By the very nature of the business people tend to look to a man to guide them versus a woman, but there are still a few who look to Angie. One of these is Chad Krugman whom Angie has taken on a trip once before.

I will tell you that when Angie goes scouting for signs of the bear that Krugman and his associate are supposedly hunting she finds a very disturbing site, and insists that the camping trip be postponed so that authorities can be notified of her find. From that announcement forward nothing goes the way Angie or Krugman planned.

For those readers who love adventure, and surprising twists and turns I'm positive their eyes will be glued to the remaining pages.
