Customer Reviews
what can you say?? an emerging talent for sure
As someone who has read many supernatural romance for women books, this is rather good. Actually better than good. I stayed in a chilly bath just to finish it! It has joined the sect of writers like Charlaine Harris ( grave series) Richelle Mead, Patricia Briggs and Kelley Armstrong. And this is a new take on the shapeshifter story and engaging one at that. Werecats. interesting. One who just wants to be a human but may be more than just a wereleopard much more..
Great novel. can't wait for the next one. please bring it out soon xx
A winner for me
This series starts with the book 'Stray' and that was an excellent debut in this genre. Rogue is the next installment and it doesn't disappoint. In this volume, our heroine Faith Summers is more active within her pride as she promised at the end of the previous novel. Her relationship with Mark is intriguing and passionate but is not the entire focus of the book-this is a heroine who stands on her own 2 feet and the plot itself is a great one, with a cliff hanger ending.
Truthfully, I find Faith a wee bit annoying hence the 4 stars only but as a fan of this genre and the owner of literally 100's of books in this vein, I can truthfully say it is one of the best new series I have picked up in a while. If you are a fan of Charlaine Harris or Laurel K Hamilton (with less sex than the latter and slightly more simple in style than the former) you will agree with me.
Good follow up.
Rogue is the follow up to Stray and picks things up a few months after the events in the previous book. Faythe and Marc are together as enforcers and as a couple, and life is going on as normal in the pack. When a number of toms are found murdered in Pride territory, their necks broken, these deaths are found to be linked to the disappearance of a number of strippers. Faythe and the rest of the werecats are plunged into a race to find the killers.
This book is well plotted and the comparisons to Kelley Armstrong's Bitten and Stolen are far less evident. The action moves at a fast pace and many of the characters are interesting and well drawn. The character sketches of the minor characters are great and I love the character of Marc but I'm continually left wondering why he loves such a selfish, immature character as Faythe. Yes she does grow up a little bit in this book and she is finally taking a greater involvement in the Pride, but she's doing it under duress and with no real intention of wanting to continue long-term. For a girl of twenty-three she's about as mature as someone five years her junior and her actions continue to hurt the people around her. My one real gripe with this series is Faythe, the angsty and angry, childish heroine that I wish I could shake some sense into. I know that Faythe is probably drawn the way she is as it gives the author lots of scope for future character development, but it makes it hard to love a book when you don't like the heroine. I like this series, but I don't think I'll love it until Faythe grows up a bit more. Here's hoping the cliffhanger ending of this book will lead to this happening in the next.
