The considerable number of books in the "Prey" series attests to its popularity. Most of the "Prey" books spend time on Davenport's romantic relationships, but Easy Prey focuses more on this area than many, showing Davenport at a crossroads between multiple perspective partners. Also, Easy Prey is a milieu book more than usual, as it focuses on the media and its effect on society. As discussed under "Characters," Davenport appears to be evolving between books, here gaining control of his violent nature.
