Product Description
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, though I always find the energy for a little after-hours recreation with Marc, my partner both on and off duty.
But not all my mistakes are behind me. We're beginning to suspect that the dead are connected to a rash of missing human women and that they can all be laid at my feet--two or four, take your pick. And one horrible indiscretion may yet cost me more than I can bear....

I loved Stray, the first book in this series, and I was far from disappointed with Rogue. 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.

If you've read my review for Stray you've probably guessed that I was slightly apprehensive about reading the next book in the Shifters series.
Still, I decided to give this one a try as I was told it does actually get better and it did. Although, not one of the greatest books I have ever read, Rogue was a vast improvement to Stray.
My main problem with Stray was how intolerable the protagonist Faythe was; she was self-centred, stupid (at times) and pretty much a spoilt brat who didn't own up to her mistakes. It made it really hard to relate to her and sympathise for the mistakes she did happen to make.
Faythe develops a lot throughout Rogue. Even though she still makes a truckload of mistakes she still admits to them and tries to rectify them enabling me to sympathise with her just that little bit more.
Be that as it may, the plot-line was a little bit predictable at times and seemed too similar to the first book in the series.
What I did love about this book though was it's pace. There was always something happening throughout the book whether it was a fight with Marc, investigating another murder or just Faythe getting in trouble again. It was what kept me reading for the most part.
All things considered, Rogue was a thrilling read that was a colossal improvement to book one in the series. Plus, the ending gave me a whole lot of reason to read on. To the next book!!

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.

I can't begin to tell you how glad I am that Faythe has, at least to some extent, grown up a bit. She isn't perfect by any stretch, but she is far more tolerable. Read more
