Welp… I’m calling it on this series. I had high hopes but something about it just feels dull. The characters and storyline in this one kind of felt the same to me as the first book, which was meh. 

I’m sad, though, don’t get me wrong. I WANTED to love it. 

Tropes:
Fiancés Brother
Enemies to Lovers

Another great and smutty book in the Never After Series. It never fails to make me smile when the villain gets their happy ending. Finding out the hero was not so heroic after all makes you love the villain that much more. This fractured fairy tale retelling of Lion King is amazing. The scarred prince and the mad king facing off throughout the book just further proves there are two sides to every story.
A few of my favorites quotes from the book...
"His tone is deep. As if it was made in hell, then woven through silk. A gentle caress that singes your senses."
"That's the difference between me and other people. They run away from the bad things, and I become them."
"But our strength is impatience. In planning. That is what topples empires. Together we rule, divided we fall."
"Death inevitably changes you. "
"I'll be damned if this woman wasn't molded in the heavens and plucked from the sky just for me. "

I loved this book sooooo much Tristan aka the scarred prince was my literal favorite character in the whole book as much as you get to love the characters in the book you end up loving the story just as much if not more i was a little irritated of how slow it took for Tristan and Sara to get together but when they did omg was it worth it so far i honestly think scarred is my favorite book in the never after series i haven't read wretched or twisted yet only hooked and scarred i loved hooked but scarred was a perfect mix of character and story line it will forever be in my top 10 favorite books it is most certainly a five star from me😍😍😍💖💖💖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

another 5 stars for emily mcintire, another perfect fractured fairy tale. i may have loved this one more than wretched, it was so easy to root for tristan and sara, and i loved again that they both had nefarious goals from the start. i love a cunning fmc, and tristan is truly the dreamiest morally black (dark grey?) anti-hero. read tw’s if you are easily triggered and don’t read if you hate blood!!!
