A Prep Novel
From New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy comes the return to Sandover Prep, where secrets lurk in the dark and no one is safe when they come into the light.
It’s been a long time since Casey Tresscott has felt like her life was her own. After the car accident that nearly cost her everything, she’s used to her family’s coddling and the relentless whispers at school, no matter how much they sting. After all, she’s found a safe harbor in her budding relationship with Sandover’s golden boy, Fenn Bishop…or so she thinks.
Beneath Fenn’s pretty, party-boy surface is a dangerous truth about the night Casey almost died. He thought lying to her was the right thing to do, but when the secret shakes loose, he just might lose her for good.
Because Casey is done being taken advantage of.
Grasping for the control she’s been missing, Casey finally snaps—telling off her bullies, gallivanting with rebels and playboys, and shirking her headmaster father’s strict curfews, despite the consequences. A desperate Fenn must ally with his stepbrother RJ and the other Sandover delinquents to uncover the full story of Casey’s accident and the ones responsible if he hopes to win her back.
But what happens if Casey is no longer the same girl he first fell for? Is there any hope for their future if she’s gone rogue for good?

What I thought about Rogue
Ah, the lifestyles of the young, rich and delinquent are front and
center in Rogue, the second book in the Prep series. The headmaster's
daughter Casey Trescott still doesn't remember what happened to her on
prom night and Fenn is there to hold her hand (and more) when she needs
someone. They develop a very sweet friendship that is just about to go
to the next step when Casey finds out a secret that devastates her
relationship with Fenn.
Eager to break out of the mold she thinks
she's trapped in, she starts standing up for herself. I really liked
this Casey, just as much as her softer side. She takes changes and takes
care of her enemies, and in the process attracts Lawson, the school
drug addict bad boy. I kinda liked them together.
The story is
told from multiple points of view and I felt like I got to know all of
the characters better. At first I was skeptical because there are more
than two pov's, but it did keep the pace of the story moving forward and
also helped with the preview of what may be going down with Lawson in
the future. Can't wait to see what's going to happen there.
I'm a
sucker for a good parent-child moment and Fenn and his father are a
terrific part of the story. I really loved what happened there between
them. I don't want to say more than that, but Fenn and his father are
some of my most favorite moments in Rogue. I still have reservations
about Casey and Fenn, and I could see some future bumps in the road for
them. There are uncovered details from the prom accident that aren't
accounted for and I'm hoping we find out more about Gabe's cryptic
message and what really happened to Casey that night.
I enjoyed
Rogue enough to read the ending twice, and the story left me thinking
about these characters after I'd finished the story, which is what great
stories do for me. However, I thought the first half of the story
lacked something that I can't totally identify easily. The second half
offered lots of drama and some deeply felt emotions from the Sandover
guys that made it easy to connect with them, even at my
way-past-high-school age.
So overall, I liked Rogue and the
entire cast of characters. Casey's rebellious period and Fenn's anguish
made for good drama, and some of the secondary characters like Lawson
and Silas are getting interesting. There's still loose ends to wrap up
so I'm looking forward to a bit more Sandover Prep.
