Rogue

Prep, Book 2

De: Elle Kennedy

Narrado por: Carolyn Kang, Nelson Hobbs, Lee Samuels, Christian Fox, Jason Clarke, Stella Bloom

From New York Times best-selling author Elle Kennedy comes the return to Sandover Prep, where secrets lurk in the dark and no one is safe when they come into the light.

It's been a long time since Casey Tresscott has felt like her life was her own. After the car accident that nearly cost her everything, she's used to her family's coddling and the relentless whispers at school, no matter how much they sting. After all, she's found a safe harbor in her budding relationship with Sandover's golden boy, Fenn Bishop...or so she thinks.

Beneath Fenn's pretty, party-boy surface is a dangerous truth about the night Casey almost died. He thought lying to her was the right thing to do, but when the secret shakes loose, he just might lose her for good.

Because Casey is done being taken advantage of.

Grasping for the control she's been missing, Casey finally snaps—telling off her bullies, gallivanting with rebels and playboys, and shirking her headmaster father's strict curfews, despite the consequences. A desperate Fenn must ally with his stepbrother RJ and the other Sandover delinquents to uncover the full story of Casey's accident and the ones responsible if he hopes to win her back.

But what happens if Casey is no longer the same girl he first fell for? Is there any hope for their future if she's gone rogue for good?

is it just me.....

is it just me... or are there a few lose ends? is there supposed to be another book in this series?

great book!

I loved this as a second book. Maybe even more than the first. I loved all the imperfections of the characters and dimension they had. Adding different voices and perspectives from the different characters was such a good move. I am a bleeding heart for Lawson. I hope he gets a book soon. this was primarily Finn and Casey's story as they navigate lies, deceit, and finding the truth, add in normal teenage coming of age rebellion and finding yourself. Finn struggles with telling Casey the truth, really unsure of what it really is and maintaining loyalty to a friend. Casey struggles with not knowing the truth, loving Finn, not being able to trust Finn, and breaking out of the everyone's preconceived notation of her, including herself. love the rebel life. definitely worth a listen. narration was perfect. can't wait for the story to continue. it's definitely giving hyperbolic Euphoria vibes, but that's what makes it entertaining!

Lawson, Lawson , Lawson

Need a Lawson book. He's hilarious. I think Sloane has some anger issues, I also like RJ, but nobody compares to Lawson.

Loved Fenn and Casey!

Rogue is book 2 in Elle Kennedy's Prep series and picks right off where Misfit left off. In this book, we get Casey and Fenn's love story. Plus, so many more answers are revealed from that mysterious prom night. Casey and Fenn's journey to HEA is secret, lies, swoon, and love, but I loved getting the whole gang's POV throughout this book!

This book is narrated by an all-star cast including Carolyn Kang, Nelson Hobbs, Lee Samuels, Christian Fox, Jason Clarke, and Stella Bloom. Each narrator fully embodied their character and had me completely lost in the story in all the best ways! I love that each narrator gives a new perspective on an ever-evolving story! I look forward to more!

Enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this one! This series should be read in order since this book picks up shortly after the events of the first book. The romantic focus shifts from RJ and Sloane to Fenn and Casey but all of the characters we met in the first book are back for this installment. I found myself very invested in learning what really happened to Casey the night of the accident.

I loved seeing how things have changed for some of the characters. Casey’s point of view was new in this installment and I thought that her characters added a lot to the overall story. It was great to finally get the answers that I was looking for. I listened to the audiobook and thought that the group of six narrators did an amazing job with the story. Each voice was distinctive so it was easy to identify which character’s perspective had shifted to. I do believe that their performance added to my overall enjoyment of the story.

I received a review copy of this book from Bloom Books.

Very, very, very good!

This series is incredible.

Why, oh why, does it take so long to release the audiobooks?

Hideous behavior ruins the read.

After reading the first story of the two - written by someone who is Obviously a great author - I was looking forward to finding out what happens with the other characters in the first book of the series. But I am now going to turn the book back in. To listen to people narrating who are also very talented - portraying the parts very well - would normally be yet another reason why This second book in the series should be even more of a pleasure to read (listen to). Which should only emphasize how Much this portrayal of a person who acts terrible to Everyone around her - her sister (who this book’s story is supposed to be focusing on!) - her boyfriend - her father - her best friend - and just about ANYone who doesn’t agree with her - or in any way interferes with Her being the center of the universe! Normally - when reading any story where a character is needing to work out serious issues (tension build up in a story line - Fine) you accept that they might get a bit irritating at times. Such as in the first book the MFC comes across as “scrappy” even though it actually starts to lean towards just being a self centered witch with a B, but you go along with the story needing to evolve. But when the MFC of the Second book is supposed to be the Sister of that main character in the first book - but that older sister is still forcing the story to be all about Her and what She feels - or is worried about (which she seems to think gives her the OK to take out her snit on anyone else around her - including the poor shmuck who fell in love with her in the first book) it gets to the point where you can not HELP but loose All sympathy towards the main character in the first book who supposedly fell in love - - but Now who believes that she can be short tempered and spiteful and hateful to everyone around her including the boyfriend who she is in love with and her sister - all of which makes me wish I had not read the first book! Is the book about the story of the younger sister this time? If it IS? it certainly doesn’t read like it is. And any book in which the main character is as awful as this older sister is acting- - it is Not conducive to engendering ANY sympathy at any good feeling you May have developed from the romance of the first book - Plus cause a reader to not want to subject themselves to continue listening to the self-centered behaviors of the older sister (who seems to think that SHE Never makes any bad decisions - Ever) in this second book - it had to be Pretty Bad. Which is too bad - because I would like to find out the answers to the mystery of what happened as well as the interesting side characters. But NOTHING is interesting enough to want to endure the hideous self absorbed self righteous behavior of that bad tempered older sister. Apologies for the lengthiness of the review as well as the long sentences - but the criticisms would not make sense without explaining why excessive villainous behavior by a supposed good character would turn off a reader who was predisposed to like the second book in the series

No Chemistry between the p

I wanted to love this book so much because I liked the first book in the series so much. But how can you muster craving for the protagonists to get together when the heroine flirts and hooks up with others? That destroys the feeling of Chemistry between the protagonists.

Had high hopes

I love Elle Kennedy books and I loved the first one in this series. But this book just has so many eye roll moments. And was just a little underwhelming.

What a Rollercoaster

The drama and antics of the prep school kids from the first book only intensified with this addition to the series. As was the case with book one, these stores aren't sweet, soft stories. They're hard, mostly rich, troubled kids with big secrets and less than great decision-making abilities. lol. That's what makes it fun to read.

The focus was mainly on Casey's near drowning mystery, her relationship with Fenn, and changes she goes through as a result of finding out hard truths. The road wasn't smooth... lots of drama....but I found their relationship compelling.

Secondarily, there's the fallout from what Silas did last book, the growing relationship between RJ and Sloane, and poor Lawson continues to mask his feelings with substances. He finds an unexpected morality chain in this book. (And I seriously just want to hug him). I love Lawson a lot.
