Faythe Sanders is back at home with the rest of the Pride after the tumultuous events chronicled in the first book, STRAY.  Her father, the Alpha, is determined to test her at every turn as he wants to ensure she has the skills she will need in the future.  But trouble follows Faythe around and now toms are being murdered on their territory.  Who is behind these deaths and what do they want?  And what will happen between Faythe and her lover, Marc?

ROGUE picks up right where STRAY left off and this ride is just as wild!  Rachel Vincent takes readers into the heart of her werecat world, showing the ties that bind the Pride.  The hierarchy of the various Prides is gradually being unveiled and it will certainly be interesting to see where the third book takes us!

ROGUE doesn’t necessarily have any huge surprises as I actually anticipated the direction Rachel Vincent was headed with the series after finishing STRAY.  However, this series has all the elements of a fanatastic series- great characters, excellent storylines, adequate suspense, and true emotional heart.  It’s hard not to be drawn immediately into this world and be thoroughly captivated by each and every aspect.

Faythe is beginning to mature and she is trying hard to do the right things.  It is not always easy to be honest and Faythe is learning the hard way that her behaviors have consequences.  It’s hard not to admire Faythe’s independent spirit, though!

ROGUE only increases my admiration for the writing skills of Rachel Vincent.  I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this book; it is one of those books you have to set everything aside just so you can sit and read.  ROGUE is highly recommended!
