Gorya Amurov has always been known as the voice of calm for his family, but lately, the leopard that shares his life has become more deadly. He knows it could come to a LEOPARD’S HUNT and he fears what he would do in that case.

Maya Averina has worked for years to avenge the loss of her family and the damage done to herself. She will free those she can from trafficking, and no one will stop her. One fateful day she regretfully trusts the wrong person and the next she finds herself claimed by an Amurov. The very family that she was out to destroy. Fate certainly has no idea what she is doing when those two are chosen to be mates.

LEOPARD’S HUNT brings hopeful – and now happy – fans back into author Christine Feehan’s leopard world (the last Leopard book was released in November 2022), and many were worried that there would not be another book. LEOPARD’S HUNT is an engrossing can’t put it down read. Gorya has been in various other leopard books along with his cousins, but this is his love story. He hires Gideon and Meiling (hero and heroine from Leopard’s Scar) to end his life before he loses control of his leopard. Of course, that was before he met Maya. As the head of security, Gideon and Meiling join them as they work to close down the trafficking and traitors to various lairs who are still involved even after it had been forbidden by their leaders. It turns out that Maya and Gideon had the same abilities as leopard whisperers – read LEOPARD’S HUNT to find out how that works.

The hero and heroine are both damaged by the evil that struck them as children and only Ms. Feehan has the storytelling ability to bring them together, have them work together, see each other as they are and find happiness. Other fan-favorite characters from the past Leopard series books join in on the action and danger while adding in some touching and emotional moments. Though thought to be very bad guys, these leopards have joined together to fight the evil that destroyed – and continues to destroy – many lives. As a note of caution, there are some tough-to-read moments as the author takes readers through this couple’s early lives and other past events. Keep in mind that those actions, though not pleasant to read and could be considered triggers, made them who they are – perfect for one another and strong determined people – or rather leopards. A fantastic read that will leave, as they always do, readers wanting more.
