If you like a quick read with little (if any) character development and lots of action, then I can recommend this one.

If I may... There is a LOT of character development in the 'Prey' series, just not in one book alone. If you start at the beginning of the series, you can follow the development of ALL the characters. "Stolen Prey" is the 22nd book in the series, and without reading the first 21 books, does stand alone as a fun read. But you miss out on all the little growth details about Lucas, Weather, Del, Letty, the two strong-arm cops, Virgil, etc., etc., that really make the books shine! Start at the beginning and find out why Lucas was kicked off the Cops, but winds up heading the BCA, and how he and Weather found themselves together, and why Sloan left to run a bar, and what Virgil caught in the last tournament....

Virgil is great! I can't wait for the next installment. He's worthy of the trust that Lucas puts in him...
My wife prefers Kidd and LuEllen though. She thinks they are a good match!
