Review - Betrayed: Days of the Rogue by Nicky Charles


If you haven’t read Nicky Charles’ Laws of the Lycans series,  go start it now! All her books are available FREE for download from her website, and they are too good to miss! Her latest instalment is Betrayed: Days of the Rogue, and oh, did I ever enjoy this one! I’d have to say it is my favourite so far.

When I started this book, I thought it would be more centred around Damien, the werewolf who has gone rogue after the loss of his mate.  While it is in fact a continuation of Damien’s story, the book belongs truly to Eve – a young woman who not only recently discovered that she is part Fae, but also has begun to come into her gift as an empath.  Escaping the busy city and all the noisy minds there, she finds herself in Grassy Hills, renting a cabin in the woods from the gorgeous Rafe McCrae.  As far as she knows,  Rafe is an impossibly frustrating man busy fixing up a series of cabins in the woods to rent – when in reality he has taken a sabbatical from his work rehabilitating rogue werewolves. When he realizes the rogue Damien is sniffing around Eve,  Rafe immediately takes action to both protect her and get to the bottom of what Damien is up to – but can he do it without falling for Eve, a dangerous prospect for more than one reason,  in the process?
 
As I said, this is my favourite book of the Laws of the Lycans series. It was very involved with many twists and turns, varied connections between characters, and a story line that kept me guessing everyone’s motives right up to the end.  Not only did it have great suspense,  this book in particular I found had me feeling deeply for many of the characters as I hoped they made the choices I *knew* were in them.  The romance, as always from Nicky Charles, is top notch with lots of build up and steamy scenes.  (I will never look at a front entrance wall the same way again. ;) )

Even if this book was regularly priced I would be recommending it,  but since it is free, you have absolutely nothing to lose! Give the whole series a go – while it is heavy on the romance,  it is more than just an indulgent read.  Four solid stars from me, for both the book Betrayed and the entire series.
