Okay, so cats don't always land on their feet.

I know that better than most. Since rejoining the Pride, I've made big decisions and even bigger mistakes: the kind paid for with innocent lives. As the first and only female enforcer, I have plenty to prove to my father, the Pride, and myself. And with murdered toms turning up in our territory, I'm working harder than ever, t...more

Jan 23, 2010 I ♥ Bookie Nookie rated it 4 of 5 stars Recommends it for: Fans of Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series.

I have been more than pleased with this series--although I am only
2 books into it. I like the fact that Faythe seems to be embracing her
roots & her status as possible future leader of the Pride. I have enjoyed
watching her transformation from the whiny brat-like twenty something
who is in serious need of a reality check to the more mature leader
who is learning when to hold and when to fold...she hasn't perfected
the art of diplomacy, but she is working on it.

I'm officially obsessed!!!! Like the action and drama in this totally makes up for the first. And Faythe is so hardheaded and badass at the sametime(but wouldn't you be,too?)

This story picks up three months after the first. And is packed with hard hitting parts. Things like the drama between Faythe and her boyfriend Marc. Her position in the pride. The murders of stray tomcats. Dealing with a jungle cat and a newly formed stray. And her still trying decide what she wants.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The first book, Stray, was better and I only gave it three stars so this book is getting two. This book summarized in a word: boring.

The first third of the book was pretty good. It kept my attention and I was interested to see where the author was going. However, around the second third of the book, the book hit a lull. The only action was a couple of dead bodies with broken necks. Woohoo. Exciting. Oh, and the main character, Faythe's, angst over everything under the sun.

3 stars to the slow first half; 4 stars to the much better second half.

Rogue takes place a few months after the events of Stray. Faythe is settling in to her new role as the first ever female werecat enforcer. She is partnered with on-again, off-again love interest, Marc. Faythe has made some serious concessions since Stray: She's willing to stay at the Lazy S as long as she can train to be an enforcer, and she's freely admitting her love for Marc. The couple seems very happy at the beginning of...more

Book one of this series dragged a bit for me, but the premise was interesting enough to have me pick up book 2. Rogue has tighter writing/plotting and I really enjoyed the book. If the protagonist, Faythe, is sometimes a bit too self-centered, I forgave it because it feels like the author is going to take her through an arc that will have her mature.

Great second addition to the series...the more I read the more I fall in love with the characters. I will say that Faythe still has some immaturity to deal with, the way she treats Marc leaves me fuming sometimes but I think that is part of her growing up process. I just wish she would realize she is pushing him away rather than keeping him close.

The reason I give for her somewhat immediate plunge to stardom and bestseller lists lie on her idea to use big black cats instead of wolves as shapeshifters in her world. With one of the few strong heroines, who actually have coverage for their badass behavior, it was no wonder that Rachel Vincent has come and plans to stay.

"Rogue" follows the life of Faythe Sanders after she has returned to her Pride in Texas. Her stay is involuntary, being forced by her father to serve her Pride for three years before she could earn her freedom. However she does feel the perks of it working as the only female enforcer ever, monitoring the borders and getting rid off stray cats, who have no business in her Pride's territory. Everything starts off blissfully enough. Faythe is content with her life and relationship with Marc, her long time lover, but when a series of murdered tom cats start appearing out of nowhere every second matters and peace is a very abstract and far away concept. Parallel to this unnerving commotion in the werecat community, humanity takes notice of a strand of missing stripers. The disappearances overlap with the locations the dead toms were found and a frightening pattern is established. There are two criminals on the loose and one is after the other.

[Due to some spoiler alert, I would try to convey as less as possible from the plot, but whatever is revealed I urge for people, who would like to enjoy these discoveries of their own to skip as much as possible.]

Responsible for the death of the werecats appears to be a mysterious tabby, which elevates the situation at hand to a new level of complicated. Tabbies aka female werecats are a rarity among werecats and thus are handled as if made of glass. Having a tabby committing several capital crimes sets a dilemma, which only heightens the excitement of reading the novel. As far as the stripper kidnapper goes there are some unsettling revelations, which date pack to the first novel from the series “Stray”. Old villains resurface with a brand new weapon in the face of Andrew, Faythe’s human boyfriend.

This novel is a success in pretty much every way imaginable. I was curious to know what will Faythe get herself into, because after “Stray” there wasn’t much plot to hold on to. Most paranormal series have characters with a job, which can act as a plot finder. Faythe has still to finish college. Others use an arch villain in a grand good vs. evil battle; “Stray” ended quite definite although that was not entirely the case. In using the thinned tolerance towards about territory, the controversial regarding of female werecats and judicial system of the Pride Council Rachel Vincent draws the plot. Solely using world building as to move characters and tell new stories has yet to occur often.

Small details barely mentioned in “Stray” and “Rogue” sew together both books tightly. Both stories melt together in one rounded experience for Faythe. The wholeness and interconnection of what was and what is happening in both titles contribute to the pleasurable experience of reading Rachel Vincent. The three month silence period from Luiz, villain one from book one, happens to be the period to nurture Andrew through scratch-fever. This same Andrew we left with a cold in the first book. I rediscovered how such buried bits and pieces spring back to life to kick my head. This I call the Why-the-heck-didn’t-I-think-of-that effect, where the answers lay in front of you and yet you stomp through. In this regard Miss Vincent has utilized techniques, which would fit perfectly in a mystery novel ala Agatha Christie.

The prose involved is certainly another aspect I enjoy greatly as Rachel knows how to write a fighting scene and is the mistress to explain how pain can feel, spread and disable the body of its functions. Hand to hand combat hasn’t been depicted as clearly as in the Rachel Vincent novels and it’s diverse and entertaining at the same time. This I think is hard to pull off, since I have had my share of writing some fighting scenes and you have to admire the perfectionism in getting everything right to the very last comma. Plus I think the balance between what goes inside the character’s head and what he is doing or enduring is equally hard to pull, but effortlessly demonstrated.

However I could have been more satisfied, if Faythe hadn’t been a tad too stubborn in her relationship with Marc. I like Faythe’s hard character usually, because it’s totally explained. Living with almost only men, tends to give you a testosterone rush, which explains Faythe being a tomboy. She is rough around the edges and it feels natural, a quality most authors can’t quite deliver to their heroines and urban fantasy can’t suffer more. But, there is that word, when it came to make and making a commitment, her love and feelings would have prompted her to take the risk, which would make her character fuller instead of going in a rut about no strings attached. I perfectly understand that Rachel needs some base for further material on their relationship for the next installments, so the newly created rift is like a gold mine. My opinion on the matter would be to take the step further and see how she deals with the attached strings. Later when disaster strikes and a new rift opens, I would like to see the new problems, which in my opinion would be an even bigger gold mine. Of course this is just a minor glitch, which shouldn’t spoil “Rogue” too much.(less)

Second in the Shifters urban fantasy series revolving around the Sanders Pride and Faythe Sanders in particular.

My Take
Faythe drives me nuts. She's a whining prima donna who expects everyone to drop everything for her. I think her daddy's a bit blind when it comes to Faythe. After all the exposure she's had to Pride politics and governing, I'd expect her to be a bit smarter. But then I may not be fair. She is in her early twenties with a teen-attitude about her parents' exposure. I can also unde...more

I mean, she's torturing the poor guy. She leaves him at the alter, gives him an ultimatum that he physically CANNOT break the gets all huffy about him saying no, runs away to college and sleeps with some other guy, leaving Marc in the cold for 5 years, of which he NEVER went to some other woman to be with and practically just vented by killing Strays more than ever. Then she comes back only to mess around a little with one of her brother's best friends then ends up with Marc again but only for a few seconds because then she realizes what she slept with him (she was drunk before) and is about to run off but then stops and decides to think it through this time. That gave her some points for aiming THEN shooting for once. But, no, then she gets kidnapped, put in a cage, and beaten an potentially raped. Then when she escapes she happily jumps into Marc's arms. Yay, because through all of the heart break she caused him (remember those five years she left him? Well, while he was still pinning for her the whole Pride community laughed in his face for staying with her)he never gave up on her.
That was all in the first book. In this book? Turns out that she turned the aforementioned college boyfriend into a Stray (albeit, accidentally) just like how Marc himself was unwillingly turned Stray when he was a kid, which makes her the very thing that he hunts down and kills.
Then he gets past all of this and asks her to promise to SOME DAY marry him. Not even then. You know what she says? "Oh . . . I . . . don't know . . ."
And yet despite this I still rate it 4 stars. I guess I'm a sucker for a guy with dedication and characters that turn into cats that look like black leopards. I mean, come on. I like werewolves even though I fancy myself a cat person. How do you expect me to react to this series, despite it's flaws? (less)

I would really recommend reading this series in order & although there won't be spoilers for Rogue in this review I can't help but give away some things that happen in Stray. If you've not started this series yet then I suggest you don't read any further.

The story continues several months after the end of Stray and as she promised her father Faythe is now working as an enforcer alongside Marc, who she is also now dating again. She is still unsure of her long term plans but is enjoying being an enforcer and is determined to prove herslef to her father & the rest of the Pride.

It isn't long before strange things start to happen though. The Pride starts to get anonymous phone calls directing them to the bodies of dead strays in their territory. They also discover a pattern of missing human strippers that seems to be linked to the bodies and Faythe is getting threatening phone calls from her ex-boyfriend Andrew. Is it all a coincidence or is everything somehow linked together?

I really enjoyed reading this book, Rachel Vincent has a way of sucking you into the story and making it impossible to leave. Faythe is strong and independant but she can also be selfish and immature. At times I wanted to shake her but the very fact that she has her weaknesses makes her seem more human. None of us are perfect and it can be easier to relate to someone who has such obvious faults. There is also a lot of room for Faythe to grow up throughout the series & I'm looking forward to watching this happen.

I love the relationships between the Pride members and it is easy to feel like you know the characters personally. Marc is fantastic & I really have to wonder at Faythe's sanity when she pushes him away, sometimes it is really hard to see why he puts up with some of the things she does. I also really like Faythe's brothers. We didn't really get to see much of Faythe's mother in the previous book but she comes into her own more in this book and you get to see more of her influence on Faythe's character.

As with the previous book there are lots of things going on and although I was able to make some guesses about how things were going to tie together there were a lot of things that came as a complete surprise. The book ended on a major cliff hanger & I was just relieved that I already own Pride and was able to start reading it immediately! If you haven't already discovered this series then I can't recommend it strongly enough.(less)

She's agreed to set aside her college degree in order to help her father, the local Alpha of a pack of werecats, as an enforcer. Even though Faythe's dad runs a tight ship it's not all bad - she gets to spend a large amount of her time honing her fighting skills (aka kicking her brother's trash) and hanging out with her boyfriend Marc. However, time spent on her father's ranch is never quiet and after a string of tomcats turn up dead and human women go missing, Faythe and the crew must try to put the pieces together before the rogue cat can strike again. But Faythe's choices have a way of coming back to bite her in the butt (sometimes literally) and this time the consequences may even effect her place within the Pride.

Faythe caught my eye in the previous werecat novel Stray with her fierce determination to become something other than a simple brood mare for the Pride. She's tough and impulsive and frankly still has a bit of growing up to do as far as relationships go, though to some extent I think she realizes it. Marc sure does. I will admit that watching their relationship develop in Rogue could often be described as a lesson in patience, but it was also obvious just how much they truly care about each other. To my way of looking at things, that's the very first step Faythe has to take in the growing up department and she does a decent job of taking it head-on. As a rare female in a large group of males, I can understand her desire to stretch the bands of convention - and for often butting heads with the macho males shes is constantly surrounded by. What makes me laugh more than anything however is Faythe's ability to attract trouble and cause disturbances wherever she goes. Seriously, the girl is a walking time bomb and I'm happy to simply follow along and watch the sparks fly.

What has to be the best part about returning to Rachel Vincent's world of werecat shifters is getting another up-close look at Faythe's relationship with her loud-mouth brothers and, most notably, her stead-fast parents. I was glad to see Faythe begin to bond with her '50s minded mom - who in my opinion holds much more power than Faythe ever gives her credit for. It never fails to make me smile when I see The Sanders as one big, scruffy family who can't help but snapping to attention every time their dad goes into Alpha mode. Heck, I probably would to. And that's not even mentioning the ridiculously soft spot I hold for Jace.

With a great story and a heroine who is really growing into her own, Rogue raises Vincent's werecat series up to a new level.

Another awesome book by Rachel Vincent! I can’t tell you how much I love this series so far, and how great it is having Faythe narrate it.

Much more story than action in this novel, and not as dark as Stray, but that doesn’t take away from the greatness of these characters and the lives they live. I can’t go into much detail as this book is so complicated, the smallest thing could be huge, but a lot of the story involves investigating, looking for evidence, and putting the pieces together. I wouldn’t say the book is predictable, because it is so complicated, but I managed to put several puzzle pieces together myself, and work out some of what was happening.

However, when the action does kick in, it’s awesome! Rachel has this unbelievable talent of writing the action scenes in a way that you can actually see them; it comes to life, and it’s literally like watching a movie! Some of the detail is a little bit stomach-churning, but I think that only highlights what is amazing talent.

I love the characters in this novel! Faythe annoys me sometimes with always wanting to rebel, and with her keeping some things to herself, when you just know it’s a mistake, but her humour, her strength, and her loyalty when it comes down to the crunch make up for it all. I so wish I could meet Ethan and Jace, they are just two of the coolest guys ever, I love their playful, cheeky attitude. I have to say I much prefer Jace to Marc, Marc is too serious for me, but to each her own. And Owen! Oh, I want to hear Owen speak! I want to hang out with Owen and just listen to him talk the whole time. He’s such a sweetie!

Another brilliant book by Rachel, and I can’t read to read the next, Pride!

There is a slight change in Faythe as she takes on the role of an enforcer but her rebellious streak is still there at times and the contrast between the two sides of her is really interesting. I also like how her random thoughts (normally a reprimand to herself) are added, and some made me laugh at th...more
