His Prey

by D.F. Krieger

Nyna is willing to be a sacrifice, but is she willing to make a sacrifice to keep his love? Given as sacrifice to the Wahya to ensure the safety of her tribe, Nyna must prove that despite being prey, she is worthy of being the mate of a hunter. When a great threat shadows the Wahya and Awahi, Nyna has to choose between her courage to fight for what she loves, or her place in her husband's eyes.

About the author

When D. F. Krieger was banned from writing contests at her school, she immediately set it in her head that she would become a professional writer. Since then, she has thrown away her plans of world domination through books, but she still enjoys writing. Her tastes run from classy urban witches to dragons, space pirates to shape shifters. By the time she pens her final book with a hand ravaged by age, she hopes to introduce her readers to many alternate worlds, lines of thinking, and captivating characters.

You can find D. F. on the East Coast, hiding away from the real world with a gleam in her eye and a plot in her head. She resides with her husband, kids, and pets; who all kindly put up with her random bouts of laughter (over things she can't explain) and journal collecting fetish.

This next title by none other than the lovely D.F. Krieger earned itself a full five stars from me. I’m a stickler for indigenous titles no matter how fantastical or realistic. Overall I enjoyed His Prey, the characters were strong and the writing superb. The first scene between Nyna and Atian had me holding my breath. Tasteful and taboo all at once, my two favorite things. One of the greatest aspects of this short work was the pace and the exposition of the overall story. His Prey earned not only a good rating but a spot in my “reference” section. I’ve said this before with romance shorts, I wish it was longer. The characters and plot were so strong that I think it could have been an excellent long piece. Part of me just doesn’t like letting go of good writing so that plays a huge role in my “I want it longer” tantrums. I really enjoyed this and highly recommend it. The cover is lovely as the story! I expect nothing less from Breathless Press!

I didn't really enjoy the first part of this book with the whole 'death of the maiden' and talks of killing and spears, but the rest of the book was really interesting and I loved Atian's character. The author could have made him so stereotypical and one dimensional, but instead he was real, caring and I couldn't help but crushing on him. Nyna is also much more than just a submissive deer shifter and I loved what the author did with her.

If you like shifters, organic backdrops and adorable love then pick up His Prey.

Ah, this was great read. I was intrigued by the premise and I loved the whole world building. I want to read more! If I have one criticism it's that it was too short. I hope there will be more stories set in this tribe, because I would love to read a longer story. We were really just given a glimpse at these intriguing tribes.
