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.
