Eveline embodies everything he´s against, and he´s been sent here to be her downfall. When he realizes the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he´s been fantasizing about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust. He´s an undercover DEA agent, and he´s hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. But Nicholas Woodsworth´s real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. That is, until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey.under a totally different name. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, she´s sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways.
With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister´s murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Eveline doesn´t have time for anything else. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her family´s drug empire, she´s her father´s ruthless secret weapon. Eveline Westerly has always been the bad guy. i’m excited to see what the author does next.From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Wizard of Oz. i’m eager to read the next installment when it comes out. i found them cringy and awkward.Īs a whole though, i enjoyed this book. I also didn’t really like the poetry scenes. i’m sure there’s readers out there who’d love it, but it wasn’t for me. the author explored some kinky stuff, which didn’t work for me. it was the perfect amount.Īs for the things i didn’t like, i found the spice got weird. i didn’t find it lacked in history nor was it a pile of info dumping. i loved the setting and all the backstory we got. While being fast paced, the author didn’t skimp on any of the important world building. i prefer a fast paced/action packed book, and this was right up my alley. scarred was relatively slow compared to hooked and wretched. i thought it was refreshing and interesting.Īnother positive i had with this book was the fast paced nature.
One of my favourite things about this one was that the “bad guy” was the female, instead of the typical male scenario’s we see.
for those who struggle to see which retelling this is of, it’s wizard of oz (the only book i figured out on my own was hooked, everything else i had to google).
while my rating for wretched is the same as hooked, i found i liked hooked more. it was way more enjoyable than the second book in the series. wretched reviewĬompared to scarred, wretched was a step up.
