Gryphon's Pride by Kaye DraperMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting Start to An Urban Fantasy Reverse Harem Series
I’ve not read this author before and I decided to take a risk on a book that wasn’t actually in Kindle Unlimited, which is rare for me when I don’t know the author. However, I was really pleased with my purchase. The book itself is a longer length novella, so it didn’t feel like I was being short changed. It was a nice bite sized treat.
The story revolves around Gesa a gryphon who has left her clan and is trying to make it in a human city. Humanity is aware of supernaturals but don’t really ‘see’ them. Gesa is working as Supernatural Bounty Hunter and she is quite inexperienced and undertrained. She is searching for a missing man when she comes into contact with a fae bartender, Oisin. Oisin is also living separate from his clan. Both characters are lonely, and are attracted to each other.
I like how Gesa is a big strapping lethal killing machine. She stands 6’ 3” tall and is muscular. Oisin is much more slightly built and shorter. There is a nice reversal of roles here and Oisin isn’t your usual alpha male. He’s a surprisingly complex and interesting character. He ends up joining with Gesa in her hunt because he likes her, is lonely, bored and fae naturally love to hunt.
I think this series shows great promise and I look forward to treating myself to future books.
