Short description
After escaping the brutal confines of her master’s estate, can seventeen year old Pride find love and freedom with the boy/wolf she was sent to hunt, or will her master recapture her first and shorten her leash, or worse, end her life?Extended description
Seventeen year old Pride is a tracker—a werewolf with a hunger for blood. Taught to trick and to lure, she is the perfect killing machine.Kept leashed in the cellar by a master who is as ruthless as he is powerful, Pride dreams of freedom, of living a normal life, but escape from the compound is near impossible and disobedience comes with a price.
When she learns her master intends to breed her she knows she has to run.
Pride soon learns if she is to survive in the wild, she must trust in the boy who promises her freedom, the same boy she was sent to hunt.
With life and death hanging in the balance the two find themselves on the run from the Paranormal Task Force—officers who shoot first and ask questions later—as well as her master’s handlers.
Can Pride flee the man who has held her captive since birth and find sanctuary in the arms of a boy who has captured her heart? Or will her master find her first?

Pride has spent her entire life in captivity, learning to kill as both a human and as a wolf. But when her master threatens to mate her with an alpha that wants to kill her, she's desperate to escape. Before the full moon, she's sent out on a mission to track a suspect. If she uses this time to escape those she calls family at the master's compound will be punished or killed. Will she run for freedom or remain in captivity until she is broken?
Pride's Run is a gritty and sometimes bleak picture of imprisoned werewolves and their drug dealing handlers. Ms. Kalen builds a world where you can't help but cheer Pride onto victory. As the story is told from Pride's point of view, we understand her strengths and weaknesses. I particularly enjoyed the struggle Pride endured to be comfortable in both her human and wolf skin. Pride's Run is a fresh spin on the werewolf mythos and shouldn't be missed by any fan of the genre.

Pride's Run is a paranormal young adult novel with well-rounded characters that leap off the page. Kat Kalen's writing is evocative and draws the reader into the tense scenes in a way that makes you feel you're right in the thick of the fast-paced action. My heart was in my throat as I raced through the pages. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Pride's Run - Amazing Paranormal Psychological Thriller of a Read
Cat Kalen’s debut YA book Pride’s Run is a wild rollercoaster, paranormal psychological thriller. The minute I started reading I fell in love with Pride—a strong, wounded teen wolf who craves freedom more than anything. But freedom at the cost of her fellow friends who are still trapped in a crazy man’s state-of-the-art military styled prison won’t cut it for her.
Pride might have been born as the runt of the litter in the puppy-mill prison but she’s anything but weak. She’s pride of heart and mind and her journey from the compound, through the wilds of a National park and her exploration of discovering “herself” were honest, heart-wrenching and powerful.
Kalen did an amazing job drawing me in to Pride’s wolfish nature and her attention to detail blew my mind. I don’t want to spoil things for other readers but I loved Logan, the alpha male teen who encourages her to embrace both the female side of her and her wolf side. I equally loved bad wolf teen, Stone. Reading Pride’s Run felt like watching a great paranormal teen movie and I want more. Can’t wait for the sequel, Pride Unleashed.
