What a THIIIICK read first off lol.. but it was so good.. it kept me hooked on what's going on.. there are still some u solved questions, but the ending did an amazing job letting the readers in on some of those answers.. the ending definitely made the whole book amazing because it let the reader in, but also there is still more mystery to what happens next.5 s Rachel1,887 92

So, I've been slowly losing my mind waiting for In Prey We Trust. Cass wants to say it's the second book in this series but it's really the third, that prequel was a full-blown book and it's important to the series so it counts. Anyway, I've been dying for this book and it surpassed my expectations and I had some pretty high expectations.


Dolly! My girl has come a long way since Come Out and Prey. Sure she still has moments of vulnerability and doubts but with the support of her guys and her BFFs, she's steadily working on her issues, overcoming a lot of her issues. Dolly is finding herself, finally, without negative interference. D has more confidence and insight, she's using her intelligence against their enemies. It's glorious.


They're a family and it's all because of Dolly. The guys have their issues too and just they've been helping Dolly she's been helping them as well. The changes in them are noticeable. Fitz can focus, Felix is playful, Renard is more mischievous, Chess is more confident, and Aubrey is happier. All thanks to Dolly being in their life, they're more cohesive as a group. It's obvious that each of the guys loves Dolly, although she's not ready for it yet but she's getting there. Which is good they are a fantastic group. The dates are great, movie nights, smutty reads, group shopping trips, a costume Halloween party (they had a group theme, Disney villains), Thanksgiving, and more. Dolly is living the dream. Fitz is still my favorite. The best thing about Fitz is that he gives absolute zero shucks. He's gonna what he s, do what he does, and love who he loves. And if there is a threat he's going to become a bigger one. Gods, I love a psycho.


I have to pay omage to the side characters. Rufus and Cori are D's best friends. They hang out with her and the guys, doing all sorts of things from dinners to studying to plotting the destruction of their enemies. They are true friends and I loved getting to know more about them this time around. Rufus and his gangster family come into play and we finally learn some of Cori's history too. One of the things that I got the most joy from is the ever-changing/rotating nicknames of Rufus, Cori, Dolly, and the guys. It's the best ever and I crack up every time. Also let's not forget about Raina, Captain, and the crew. These Prey animals are major support for the gang, they had a key role in the story and deserve their props.


The Pred Games was big in this story. There's training, teams, matches, bets, drugs, fixes, and more. It was far more interesting than any sport I've seen, Cass managed to keep me interested in a sport which is a feat in itself and I enjoyed it. Besides that, there was the mystery aspect that was simultaneously slowly unfolding while also keeping us guessing. There are so many enemies coming from all kinds of angles and the gang is gathering clues trying to figure things out. There are more tunnels and vaults to explore, more missing kids, attacks, and a major cover-up. We finally get more information about the magic users in this world. The casters are witches, mages, wizards, and elementals. They can use spells, incantations, and etc. However, that's not all, apparently, this world has not only demis (descendants from deities) but it also has the Fae and I am stoked. I'm slowly piecing things together and I have a theory that centers on my favorite Frenchie. The one major question I have is who/what is Dolly?


Gods, In Prey We Trust was spectacular and it made my soul happy. I love these characters, the humor was superb, and the plot was fantastic. I'm a mystery lover and Cass has created a mystery that gets deeper as the story goes. Apex Academy Capers is one of my favorite series, I'm completely addicted and I'm not sorry. However, I will be a sorry soul while waiting for the next book, Eat. Prey. Trust. I'm already freaking out.

Between the professors making her life hell with impossible school work load, and what Dolly finds in her bed at the reptile dorm, along with the the prey they assign her in the Pred Games, Dolly is really developing physically and mentally and she is acquiring new gifts for her bunny. The development of her men and her in their relationship is wonderful. The mysterious disappearance of students, what, why, and how are yet to be answered. This book kept me glued finding it difficult to put it down and of course there is a cliffhanger! I will be keeping an eye out for the next one. I assure you this book does not disappoint.

In Prey We Trust by Cassandra Feaherstone is a phenomenal academy shifter fated-mates tale. There is a focus on the division of predators and prey along with popularity contests.  Reminiscent of high school on its worst day!  This is book two in the series Apex Academy Capers and really needs the background to make sense.

    I absolutely LOVE this series.  The characters are wonderful.  They are unique, quirky, funny, and a little bit crazy.  The world-building is amazing and personality continues to learn more with new twists and reveals.There is plenty of spice with this story.

     I rated this 5 out of 5 stars.  I didn't want to put this down as I discovered new enemies twists with every turn of the page.  I love the humor in this book whether it be little quips,  or cute nicknames. There are laughs a plenty.  If you enjoy  shifter romances with fated-mates, academy series, mythical creatures, and found families you must read In Prey We Trust. TheheartofBrigid484 9
