Synopsis:

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...

My rating: ★★★★★

Assuming you have read the other 2 books, we all know that Faythe has huge trouble!! God, there’s so much going on I don’t even know how to put it on paper…err, internet paper?? Lol

I think I’ll start off with Faythe’s trial. So the Territorial Council was called to order because Faythe has been accused of infecting her human boyfriend then killing him to cover up her crime (which is soooo not true…okay, part of it is). However, the Council doesn’t believe her! She admitted to infecting Andrew, but that was an accident! And Faythe killing him was also an accident. But they are saying that she did it to cover up the fact that she infected him! WTF!! And her verdict…well, I’m not gonna give it away because its something you just have to read!.

So while Faythe is dealing with all this and the 3 Alphas (her dad is not involved in this trial because of his relationship with Faythe) try to make a decision, there are Strays around that are causing trouble. Now, they are in free territory, which means that the Strays are allowed to roam freely. However, there are two missing hikers…yes, human hikers, and they think the Strays have something to do with it. So naturally it’s up to the Pride (in this case Prides) to put a stop to this. And OMG you will never suspect what the Strays are trying to do! It’s just crazy!

Even crazier…they found a tabby!! Oh. My. Gods. Faythe thinks she’s a Stray, but the others don’t agree with her. I also thought she was a Stray, but boy, were Faythe and I wrong!! And this is where I’m thankful for taking Biology; with all that recessive and dominant gene stuff…I actually understood what they were talking about!! lol

And another thing: werebear. Yeah, I’ll let you think about that for a sec, lol. I actually had no idea they existed (they’re proper name being bruin)! Rachel, you are awesome!! :D

As for the Marc-Faythe-Jace thing…well, we know that Faythe and Marc broke up. So I thought maybe Jace would get a chance. But no! Nada! And no, I still don’t care for Marc. Jace on the other hand…*swoons* I don’t know why Faythe doesn’t give him a chance. I mean, how could you not fall in love with that guy ;) lol. Well, not just Jace, but the Wonder Twins in general. You just can’t resist their charm. And by Wonder Twins I mean Jace and Ethan. Haha! I loved that!

I really enjoyed reading this book... I loved it! But Rogue has been my favorite book so far. Oh, one more thing... Team Jace... and Ethan ;)
