DNF at 67%, counting it as read because i wasted five and a half hours of my life on this (ok not that much because i listen at 1.5 speed but still)
i usually don’t write negative reviews because im sure someone worked very hard on this book (although the editor could have worked harder???) but you know what you did, Emily! you know what happens in that chapter and i don’t forgive you.

Scarred was everything I dreamed of in a book. Smutty, Plot Heavy, Gothic, Regency, TRISTIAN and a strong female character. When I started reading Wretched I truly believed that nothing could ever get close to the second book in the Never After Series and I was wrong.
ALL of the notion's directed towards the Wizard Of Oz in a retelling that isn't really a retelling gave me chills every time a name was dropped.
From the prologue you are introduced to three sisters. Dorothy, Nessa and Evie. Nessa is dead and apparently her sister Dorothy killed her. The first name drop was the shoes, RED shoes that were previously her sisters. Dorothy wore them to her sister Nessa's funeral. Which is obviously a nod to the wicked witch of the east being killed in the beginning of the wizard of oz. Her mother's name OBVI is Glinda (EMILY NEVER STOPS AND I LOVE IT.) Her fear of water, the strip club's name and bringing in all of the drugs was the smartest thing ever.
Dorothy isn't necessarily portrayed as an anti hero, but she is portrayed as a prissy bitch. I loved that twist lol (I have problems.) If you were a broadway lover, then you know wicked has a HUGE effect on me when it comes to Dorthy in the movie.
Evie is a character derived from the wicked witch of the west, everything about her leads to the conclusion. She's a bad bitch just trying to help her family out with her Poppy's (if you don't get it have you even seen the movie?) From the beginning I ADORED Evie and everything she had to offer. Her dialogue, the distaste she holds for her bitch of a sister and most importantly she takes what she wants. That being the MMC, Nickolas.
He's a DEA (cue Javier Pena). A playboy and also undecover. Seeing him develop throughout this book was great, setting everything aside for her is obviously the only choice for me to like this type of book. So that was executed perfectly. I LOVE the whole retelling vibe, the antihero heroine per se, the reformed playboy trope as well as the plot.

Dorothy, perfect and proper, Eveline, the black sheep, and the undercover agent out to stop them all. When Nick goes undercover to put a stop to a drug ring he starts falling for the bosses daughter. He needs to find out the supplier, but when he does, can he put a stop to the drugs or is he in too deep?

Hey Hi Hello WHAT DID I JUST READ?!🤯 I have some THOUGHTS so let’s get right into it🫠
First of all, WOW. I didn’t expect to fall head over heels in love with this book but here we are! I was hooked from page 1 and still am after being done with it! The Wizard of Oz was my favorite movie as a kid and I was skeptical yet intrigued to see what elements were in this book and of course I loved every minute of it! I loved seeing the different elements and even names of characters and trinkets throughout the book.
Nicholas (Brayden) Woodsworth THE MAN YOU ARE😩 I was in love with him from the first scene and loved seeing him battle with himself on what felt right and what was actually right.
And Evelina was the most amazing FMC I’ve ever read even though she gave me whiplash🥴 I loved seeing her walls come down bit by bit, and her declaration made me SCREAM (IYKYK🫠).
It was soooo satisfying seeing everyone who deserved it get their comeuppance, and that twist at the end?! I literally hollered cause girl WHAT?!😭 So unexpected but I loved it!
You know what else I loved? THE SPICE HELLO🥵🤭 It was delicious and I ate it up and made me feel things that it probably shouldn’t but eh what’re you gonna do?🙂↕️🤷🏽♀️
The only thing I didn’t like about this book is that it ended cause WHAT am I supposed to do without Nick and Evie?!😩😭
But yeah. This book was perfect and I loved and now I’m sobbing cause it’s over🙃
