Rogue

Vincent, Rachel. Rogue. Ontario, Canada: Mira, 2008. 394 pages. (Mystery / Romance)

The main characters in Rogue are Faythe, Greg; Faythe’s father, her three brothers – Ethan, Parker, and Ryan – her friend Jace, her boyfriend Marc, and her ex-boyfriend Andrew. The story takes place somewhere in Southern Texas.

The problem that Faythe faces is trying to find out who is killing Toms and why. Faythe also needs to find out if she’s ready to be the Pride leader and if she can handle the consequences if she makes a mistake. Faythe goes about solving these problems by taking things as they come – not knowing how to take them or not – and by showing everyone what she can do. Interesting events that happen throughout the novel are the mysterious phone calls, the secret murderer, and all the little mistakes Faythe makes that turn into disasters.

The character I’m most like is Faythe because she cares a lot about others, we both have the same fashion, we’re both paranoid, and we both make tons of mistakes. Nothing from this novel has ever happened to me, except the fact that Faythe becomes very paranoid throughout it. There are many scenes in this novel that have a very big impact on me: whenever Marc and Faythe get into arguments. The reason they have a big impact on me is because their very depressing, and at times they don’t make me want to read anymore of the story. The one thing that disappointed me with this book was the fact that – for the most part – the same thing happened over and over, and that it was very depressing, boring, and really wasn’t half as good as the first book, Stray.
