Scarred by Emily McIntire

After picking up Hooked, and not being able to put it down, I knew I would need more. I am head over heels for Ms. McIntire’s writing style. There is magic in the way even the smallest details are described that keep the reader enthralled. Nothing pulls me out of a book faster than rereading the same exact line in every chapter to describe different scenes or characters. So, the fact that she keeps it new and fresh with all the wonderful, and very colorful, descriptions is like finding treasure within a treasure. I also love that she promises villains, and that’s exactly what we get. None of the sappy ‘I can fix him with love’ kinda storyline. Just an appreciation for what made us love the character and an understanding that not everything needs fixing. I also really liked how the characters have weaknesses. It’s too easy, and tempting, to write characters that are nearly invincible, but it takes away from the storyline and loses the emotional impact. Both Tristan and Sara know they have limits, that are used against them, and they have had to learn how to use their other strengths, or their enemies failures, to their advantage. The plot twist also successfully got me, which isn’t an easier thing to do. But the author also got me in Hooked.

It’s a bit of a slower burn starting out, allowing the reader to fully submerge in and enjoy the plot, get to know the characters and their motivations, and properly sets the mood before diving into that delicious spice.

I’d put the spice at 4/6. I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy an actual story with your kink. While there are some sweetish words and ‘good girls’, this is not a sweet and cuddly, prince charming type fairytale. There are definitely little call outs that link it to the Lion King, but they’re fairly gentle reminders. It just added another fun layer to the overall experience; seeing how many you can’t recognize. I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch the Lion King or see Scar in the same light again.

The only downside is that the ending felt a bit rushed. Specifically, chapters 55 & 56. They lacked all the emotional turmoil that fills the rest of the book. I felt like both scenes deserved…more. I did like how the epilogues played out, and I’d be very interested in another book about Simon’s story. It’s really just those last two chapters that felt flat.
