Some of the situations she gets into are so ridiculous that you almost have to think that the author didn't know how else to move the plot along.Īlso, Faythe fights her attraction to Marc for most of the book, so much so that she bites his leg to the bone in cat form when he tries to rub his scent on her. There are countless times where Faythe does the one thing that she shouldn't do, resulting in her own kidnapping, attempted rape, beating, and so forth. Um, hello? Did you miss the part about the kidnapping and rape? Why not wait for a better time to throw a temper tantrum?

But Faythe gets it into her head that she wants to live outside the Pride so she tries to negotiate with her Father to leave. So naturally, Faythe's family decides that they need to protect her at all costs. A tabby was found beaten and raped and very much dead, and then soon after another tabby goes missing. The thing is, someone is hunting the tabbies, female werecats, and so Faythe's Father makes her come home from college so she can be protected by her numerous brothers and the enforcers working for him.Īt the best of times, Faythe is mildly retarded. She doesn't want to be stuck in the role of mother and housewife so she tries to run away from it all. Faythe wants to go to college and try to have a career and a life separate from her Pride. For some reason females are very rare, although it's never really explained why. But as you start to learn exactly what she's running from - responsibility and family obligation - the sympathy turns to annoyance.įaythe is one of the few female werecats in the United States. In the beginning I could sympathize with Faythe nobody wants their life decided for them. I went back and forth from really liking it and then really hating it. I had a really difficult time with this book.
