Publisher's summary

"I'm on trial for my life. Falsely accused of infecting my human ex-boyfriend - and killing him to cover up the crime. Infecting a human is one of three capital offenses recognized by the Pride - along with murder and disclosure of our existence to a human.

"I'm two for three. A goner.

"Now we've discovered a rogue stray terrorizing the mountainside, hunting a wild teenage tabbycat. It's up to us to find and stop him before a human discovers us. With my lover Marc's help, I think I can protect the vulnerable girl from both the ambitious rogue and the scheming of the territorial council.

"If I survive my own trial..."

Faythe and her mouth

When we left our heroine she was in trouble for killing her ex-boyfriend in self defense. Of course this books picks up where that book left off. Here are a few of the highlights of the book.
1. Pride politics plays heavy.
2. A lot of strays are converging on this particular area.
3. There are several power plays to unseat Faythe's father from the council.
4. Romantically Faythe proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that she has not the brain to tie her shoes with.
I am not sure that I have ever given anything short of a five star in the series. Faythe has alway been best at surviving, by doing what was necessary Yet when her life is on the line to the council she cannot keep her damn mouth shut. Although she is known for her mouth, she is also known to bite her tongue when danger would make things worse. She doesn't which it too far out of character. Then she has tried to win back her Beau since the end of last book. When she is faced with her love being exiled she never even thinks, or tries to put the ring on(At least the right finger). To save his life!! This is not the Faythe of the previous books and few times has a character fallen so far outside herself without some development to explain the change.
I have always had an issue with characters acting outside their developmental curve. There was no reason, or stimuli to account for the unfaythe character inhabiting this book. Unless it was left out because of cuts to the book. I would recommend people choke through this one because I believe the next book will make amends for this book. The writing is spot on but the whole books just reads as a setup for the fourth. I am a large fan of this author, this showing is below her talents. I look forward to number four and hope the rest of the series performs better.

Long live Faythe and Mark!

Fantastic read!

I absolutely LOVE the entire Werecat Series. Rachel Vincent has created a seducing world that 'lies just beneath the surface' of our real one. It is believable, inventive, full of intrigue, and consistently exciting. I have been placing her 'scheduled release' dates in my calendar so I have the next book as soon as it arrives! Faith is a likeable & rebellious character with honorable morals and her story, life, and relationships are ALL interesting! Can't wait for the next book in March of 2010! *There are sex scenes - not frequent or overly prolific (more romantic in nature) but still detailed & I recommend the reader be at least 18.

This series gets better with each book.

OK, so, the first book in the series, the heroine is whiny and bratty, and at times, very hard to like. But with each installment, she grows, and you really begin to root for her. This book adds new and interesting characters to the werecat series, and really makes you want to listen to the next. The council that is trying the case of Faythe makes you want to grind your teeth, they are so narrow-minded, but it really adds to the suspense of the installment. I really wish that the author would explore a series with Jace as the main character, because I find him really intriguing. The narrator, who I did not like at all at the beginning of the series, is also growing on me. Now I can't think of someone else voice being anyone but Faythe. As with any series, you will want to definitely start with the first book, or you may have no idea what is going on.

Good sequel

I liked the first couple of books in the series, but I think Pride and Prey (the sequel to Pride) are the best so far. Yes, the lead character is angry and doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut - but it really doesn't detract from the overall story, which was more involved here, and even more so as the plot continues on into the next book. If you enjoy supernatural sci-fi, you will enjoy these.

Rachel Vincent Amazing Book

I highly enjoyed reading this book and would incourage others to read it. Although it is better if read in order the books are excellent on their own and are easier to get into

Nearly managed to finish listening to it.

Juvenile. Silly. A little Trashy but not too graphic. Basically this female quasi-cat is angry all the time, explodes into unthinking outbursts but we are still asked to believe that she is her wise father's choice to inherit the running of his clan and family and the choice mate of every male standing in the vicinity.

Running With the Big Catz

This is one of the rare times I will say don't start the series with this book--go to the beginning and read up to this book or it won't make much sense. You could possibly read it on its own, but it will be so much more enjoyable if you know the history of the characters and their natures.

This particular addition to the series is quite a wild ride as Faythe is on trial in this one, and she still can't manage to keep her mouth shut and behave. Poor girl. At least she's true to her nature. I'll give her credit for that. But I don't know how her dad survives her. The plot is full-out emotion in one form or another for most of the story. There's a lot going on here, and now I can't wait to dig into the next one!
