Rogue (Shifters, #2)

After all the fun I had with Stray, I was expecting to love Rogue just as much. Sadly, I found it disappointing.
First off, although this one is smaller than the first book, I found it to drag. I thought the plot was very predictable, and we were missing all of the character interactions that I loved from the first book.
Also, Faythe's character wasn't what it was in the first book. I found her rashness to be more annoying than enjoyable. There were also times where a plot point was very obvious, and it took her some time to figure out. This is not the perceptive character I loved in the first book.
Lastly, I found the relationship in this book to be problematic. What was an equal power dynamic in the first book switched to a relationship that read as very emotionally abusive. I expect these alpha male type characters in a book like this, and I can enjoy them. But the love interest crossed the lines in a lot of ways in this book and Faythe did not have the power that she had in the first book, which rubbed me the wrong way.
Overall, I found this book to be a completely different experience than the first book. I do plan to continue on with the series, but I am going to take a break before continuing, as this book left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

"So far, I'm finding this much slower and just not enjoying it as much as the first one. Which is a shame since I flew through Stray :("

Yes, you really managed to describe how I felt with this book, and the difference from Stray to Rouge.. I'm struggling to finish this one and I'm really not sure I'll pick up book 3..
