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 thoughts
Pride picks up right where Rogue left off. Faythe is on trial for not only infecting but killing her ex-boyfriend. While on trial a series of events occur leading the trial a little off course while they deal with the new situation.

I love how fast the story moved. You not only had the trial taking place with Faythe's life hanging in the balance but the falling out of Marc and Faythe, the stray attacks in the woods and the introduction of a new tabby. This installment in the series is definitely a page turner. I really liked the whole story behind the new tabby but again, the whole family aspect really shines through. There are a lot of times where Faythe points out how strong her father is and how proud she is of him. I cannot wait to read the next installment in the series.


Favorite quote...
"Radley rolled his eyes. He actually rolled his eyes at my father. Alpha of the south-central territory and head of the Territorial Council. Sure, I did that all the time but I'd also peed on his lap when I was two. No one else got away with such disrespect toward an Alpha, which meant Radley either didn't know who my father was, or didn't care." - Faythe
