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.

One for the girls..
|
if you are interested in why a ring tone is ironic to the situation and a changeling society that has a few egotistical females and many big chunky males that have to look after them this is for you.. However if your not feeling particularly emotional and prefer action this book is certainly not for you.
I only managed to get a third of the way through before I through it away in violent rejection...
Maybe its a girl thing!!!

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.

Rachel you are an amazing writer. If you like kitties I suggest you read this, great take on were cats.
The story grips you from start to finish. You find yourself trying to add up the mystery ,with the characters. It's a great read, with lots of humour and action to get the heart racing.
I recommend anyone to read this book, can't wait for the rest.

Wow!

Faythe & Mark return for book 2 in this excellent series, 'Were-Cats'. A great follow on from 'Stray' certainly bringing you back into the action of the pride. Faythe is now an enforcer in the Mid-Western Pride, teamed with Mark, her adoring lover.
The plot is great and full of surprises, that I know I should be expecting! A really great read, can't wait for the next one to come out!
