Book 6 of the lost shifter series - Andy is the last of Mitchell's missing brothers, but he doesn't want to be found. He kidnapped one of the trackers sent to find him and crashed the coalition's computer system - so now Vapor, a panther shifter, is sent to bring him back - as a felon.Vapor thinks it will be easy as Andy/Andrew is only young, except Andrew turns out to be well-trained and well equipped. I enjoyed the sparring between Andrew and Vapor, and the conflict between what Andrew believes and what Vapor is trying to tell him. We're also introduced to Owen and Shane; a tiger shifter and leopard shifter that Andrew grew up with. The three shifters were raised by Edward, and the more Vapor hears, the more he becomes concerned that Edward has been manipulating them.Andrew is a likeable in his own way, but a serious brat, Vapor is a little over-arrogant - Andrew helps knock that out of him. Owen is probably the weakest character in this, he comes across as sweet but very easily influenced. And Shane reminds me in a way of Zsadist from the Black Dagger Brotherhood books.Again this is one of the darker books - Andrew, Shane and Owen have not had a happy homelife.I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more of the series... Vapor has been tasked to find and bring home missing brother Andrew. As the best tracker in the coalition this should be a piece of cake, however Andrew has thrown a grenade in his car, shot him, drugged him and managed to escape every time. Andrew has been told he was sold by his family and was raised with two other shifters by a human in an Oliver Twist type situation. They are mercenaries who do anything for money. Although Andrew is starting to get hooked on Vapor and when he overhears his "mentor" telling Shane to kill Vapor, he and Owen decide it's time to leave and try and protect Vapor. This leads to their capture and return to the fold where Vapor finally admits that he is Andrew's mate and Andrew and Owen are pardoned because they saved Vapor's life. I quite enjoyed this, I felt sorry for poor Vapor who kept getting bested, it was very hard on his ego and my heart broke for the three young shifters who had been abused and bullied into working for the bad guy. Although really, how many freaking bedroom do they have in that damn apartment?
What do You think about Ruthless Pursuit (2010)?
The banter between these two was wonderful! I adore Andrew.
