This book was even better than Cinder!

While Cinder took half of the book for me to feel interested, Scarlet had me in the first chapter! I felt as if I related to Scarlet as a character a lot more than I related to Cinder, so experiencing the world through Scarlet's eyes not only held my attention throughout the whole book but also had me emotionally invested. And while I love Prince Kai... Wolf and *Captain* Thorn really just made this series even better. I mean, we have three of my favorite fictional male tropes in one series: a literal prince charming, a rogue werewolf, and a snarky, morally gray "pirate"; come on. I mean, "perfection" is a strong word but it's necessary for this context.

This book had a lot more action in it than the first one did too, so maybe that's why I couldn't put it down. But basically, I loved this book, and Scarlet and Wolf are my OTP. I hope I can snag the next book from my library soon *fingers crossed*.

Content warnings: No cursing. Gore is pretty high with t0rtur3 and lots of fight sequences that are disturbing in nature. Romance consists of mildly detailed kissing (no spice). One questionably forced kiss may disturb some readers however in the context of the situation, I had no issues with it. As always, my DMs are open if you'd like more details.
