Book Description

Seventeen year old Pride is a tracker—a werewolf with a hunger for blood. Taught to trick and to lure, she is the perfect killing machine.

Kept leashed in the cellar by a master who is as ruthless as he is powerful, Pride dreams of freedom, of living a normal life, but escape from the compound is near impossible and disobedience comes with a price.

When she learns her master intends to breed her she knows she has to run.

Pride soon learns if she is to survive in the wild, she must trust in the boy who promises her freedom, the same boy she was sent to hunt.

With life and death hanging in the balance the two find themselves on the run from the Paranormal Task Force—officers who shoot first and ask questions later—as well as her master’s handlers.
Can Pride flee the man who has held her captive since birth and find sanctuary in the arms of a boy who has captured her heart? Or will her master find her first?

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! November 4, 2011
By Paula
Format:Kindle Edition
Shapeshifter Pride is a seventeen-year-old girl who has been raised in captivity as a killing machine. When her cruel master decides it's time to tame her, unless she wants to be broken her only option is to run. She knows running will bring harm to people who are already suffering but she's left with no choice. These same people willingly make sacrifices in order for her to win freedom for them all.

Her chance for escape comes when she's sent to capture a shapeshifter named Logan, a boy who represents everything she'd like to be. Although the attraction is instant and mutual, Logan is a long time gaining her trust. The fact that he has secrets of his own and is unwilling to share them makes it more difficult for her to believe in him.

This debut YA novel by the talented Cat Kalen will appeal to teens and adults alike. I stayed awake well into the morning hours in order to finish it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thought provoking read. January 15, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
At first glance PRIDE"S RUN by Cat Kalen appears to be nothing more than an entertaining YA shape shifter story. But as I read I realized that once I looked past the paranormal aspects of the story I was really reading about man's ability to justify inhumane acts against his fellow creatures whether human or animal.

Pride is a young shifter who was bred and raised to be an enforcer for the cruel leader of a drug cartel. She dreams of of freedom, of escaping, but knows by doing so she puts the lives of the other shifters she cares for in danger of reprisal. There's a hint of romance in the story, but the focus is on Pride's bid for freedom and justice.

Ms Kalen's story delves into the minds and hearts of an enslaved people. Using a paranormal element she shows the horror of slavery and brings home the truth that no matter a person's race, no man has the right to own another.

I look forward to reading more of Pride's journey to freedom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Adventure, Unforgettable character! November 2, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Pride's Run - a YA paranormal action and romance. Pride is a werewolf who has grown up in captivity, forced to kill for her drug lord master, forced to turn on family and friends just to survive. Pride is finally pushed over the edge and decides to escape - it is then that she meets Logan, a boy that sees more than a the killer inside her. But most off all this is the story of a girl who has to come to trust herself, to beleive in herself as a hero, instead of as a failure.

I really enjoyed this YA paranormal adventure! Pride really caught me, and I have to admit that I have a teeny crush on Logan. :) A first book from Cat Kalen but definitely not the last.

3.0 out of 5 stars For a younger crowd
Long and geared more toward a younger (18-25) crowd. Interesting plot with a lot of violence though not as graphic as others I have read. This would be rated R if it was a movie.

4.5 stars, TOP PICK, Romantic Times Magazine on Pride's Run.
This is the first book in the fantastic Wolf's Pride Series and has a strong, brave, independent protagonist. The action is thrilling and constant, and the characters are so well written that readers will have a hard time guessing who the bad guys really are. Completely different from the other werewolf novels out there, this one's a keeper.
