This is Book 2 in Rachel Vincent's series about werecats. Hey, it's not all about werewolves. ;-) In the world of werecats, females are rare, which makes Faythe extremely valuable. She's also the daughter of an Alpha and is being groomed to one day take over the Pride, even though that's not what she wants. She made a promise to stick it out for two years, however, so she's learning the ropes and how to handle enforcer responsibilities. But some past mistakes are going to come back to haunt her. A rogue cat is killing strays, and while the Pride could normally care less about dead strays, someone is calling the Alpha directly to report these kills. Faythe and her sometimes boyfriend Marc head out to investigate. Someone's hunting strays all right, and someone else is hunting the rogue. Faythe discovers a pattern linked to some human disappearances as well and realizes that the situation may be more dangerous than they originally anticipated. In addition, Faythe's old human boyfriend keeps calling, and he's pissed. Faythe will discover she's inadvertently responsible for everything that's happening, and the consequences might be more than she can swallow. My review of the first book, Stray, highlighted Vincent's excellent prose and potential, but thought the plot was laid out a little too much like blocks. I am happy to say her potential is showing through. This book was well paced with the various conflicts interwoven throughout. The story was great, with its own twists and surprises that make it exciting. Faythe's got a lot of issues, primarily relationship issues. Marc loves her and wants to be with her, but Faythe isn't sure she even wants to be with the Pride. She can't have it both ways, however. The Pride's sense of priorities is a little skewed sometimes, which also makes living with them difficult for Faythe. While the plot is resolved, Faythe is in big trouble by the time it's over, and that won't be resolved until the next book, Pride.

** spoiler alert ** "Has it got any sports in it?" "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles." A tale of swashbuckling adventure and true love (TM) I've watched the movie before, and I chuckled quite a lot whenever I read those scenes that I recognized in the book. Crackling and memorable dialogue that made me laugh out loud at times. "Life is pain, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something", hah. As for the author "abridgement" notes (it has been stated elsewhere by people that Florin is in fact a fictional place is this is an original novel, not an abridgement, William Goldman probably just wanted to make it as if he's really abridging a book to gripe about the industry ), some may find it annoying, but I found them acceptable till near the end. It was at about 4/5 of the book though that I lost patience slightly and started skipping through. If you feel that he's rambling too much, feel free to skip, it doesn't detract much from the story, and the rest of the story is good fun. One gripe I have: it's slightly annoying that the book ends with the first chapter of the supposed sequel ("Buttercup's Baby") and leaves us with cliffhangers everywhere. It's worse as the sequel would probably never be published. If you hate unresolved cliffhangers, stop reading after the story of Princess Bride ends and skip the last fifth of the book.
