I just finished Stray. I’m not sure if I’ll read Rogue or not. I didn’t find Faythe a sympathetic character, I wasn’t fond of the triangle between her, Marc and Jace, and I found the violence off-putting. But – wow! – it kept me reading, and I think that’s doubly impressive since the book (clearly) wasn’t a good match for me.

hey rachel i liked the book stray cayse even though faythe did get annoying she’s still young. i can’t help but get mad when i finished i was so curious and i didn’t have the 2nd book but hopefully reading the 2nd won’t keep me guessing. i’m still getting around t reading the 2nd one, i bet it’s really good and can’t wait.
with all my love

There is no need to attack a reviewer and infer they are childish and simple-minded because their opinions differ from yours, Maria.

I feel sorry for you Jia!!! I understand that you didn’t like the Stray or Rogue but I think your simple, straight forward mind just cant take it all in at once. You are used to books with the same plot, same conflic and same outcomes. It is obvious that the author is athempting something new by making you feel Faythe’s struggle to change. Rachel Vincent doesn’t want the same plot for her books: the main character makes a mistake, she grows up, then lives happily ever after. The End!!! If that’s what you want in a book then I guess her books aren’t for you, they leave no suspense or room to grow. How OLD are you??? If you’re too old to remember what it’s like to make mistakes over and over again, while your family still loves you, then you have more problems than liking Stray or Rogue. Are you perfect? I know I’m not, and I’m still making daily mistakes and I am glad that I have the support that I do. Dont you have family and friends? I can easily relate to Faythe, NO! I’m not a werecat, but Rachel Vincents imagination has caused me to see my life a little different and grow a little more, through Faythe and the rest of the characters. I hope that before you go on and insult authors the way you did, you should consider how many books you’ve writen, how many fan-based websites you have and how many people travel across states just to meet you. Who’s gonna remember you? In 50 years Rachel Vincents books will be around for other generations to read, what do you do????!!!!

Have a sweet day JIA!!!!

Love you Rachel Vincent

I loved stray and rogue is even better. I agree as a reader I get very aggervated with Faythe..but I also like flaw characters..I like characters that mess up..sometimes as in real life we start on a path that is taking us in the wrong direction and as such everything has to crash down around us before we realize this..I like the fact also that she is fighting so hard against her own destiny as many of us do..I also like the fact that she is so torn between her two worlds..in life you think you want one thing but after many trials you found out you had what you wanted along…I dont think the whole were society is such a big deal..yes maybe they arent like real prides in the animal kingdom but then they are human to so there will be human things that mix with it and even cancel some things out..the other characters I enjoyed to and would read and would love to see off shoots of stories concerning them…I like the fact that fayths world is spinning out of control on her and she is trying to find her own place…I like the loyalty the characters show each other…I just have really enjoyed the books so far and find myself goin crazy waiting for Pride this fall to be released

Wow.. a D? Honestly no offense, that is the great thing about books and all of us who read them, we see different things, but it sounds like we read a different book. I liked the first book Stray – a lot! Rogue too…hmmm. I like Faythe, I see beyond the snotty brat, to what she will become. I had hoped to see a bit more change by the end of book 2, but I will continue to read the series. I think Rachel Vincent has something to offer dark fantasy (or urban fantasy as we are calling it these days).

Tracy, Nice to see another fan of Rachel Vincent. I just finished Rogue yesterday (will be posting a review this weekend on my blog:) and am still very much enjoying the world. I agree that Faythe has some growing up to do, but Vincent has time to do that since she has (I think) a six book contract.

I love this series!!! I was in love with Stray and stayed up till 3am last night reading this book. I was not disappointed! I love Faythe and danger always seems to follow her. And I love the whole love triangle with Marc/Jace/Faythe I just can’t get enough of it!!Yes Faythe can be selfish at times, but you can see her character realizing this slowly and maybe by the next book or the 4th book she may have gotten it. But I for one and enjoying this long ride and hopefully Rachel will not stop writing them anytime soon..Keep them coming Rachel V.!!

Huh, this review surprised me since I recall enjoying the book. Maybe that’s because I hadn’t heard anything about it before I picked it up. I’ll have to re-read Stray, since I don’t really remember much about it, to see if I really agree or not.

Regarding the “cat stuff”, IMHO a were culture seems more realistic when it doesn’t mimic the real world animal culture. Not only are the weres more intelligent than their animal counterparts, they have a human side as well.
