Scarred

This book is very well written, even better than the first book in the Never After series, “Hooked”. The story flowed better, it was a believable ending and the tie ins to “The Lion King” are top notch. The one thing I thought was a bit odd was when Sara was grieving over the loss of her friend, something she blamed herself for, and then was like “this is a good time for hot sex”. I get her point, that it allowed her to clear her mind and feel loved but I thought it was a bit insensitive, especially since she went right back to grieving in the morning. I understand comfort comes in many forms but it would have been appreciated to see Tristan comfort her like he was doing, with gentle touches and wiping away tears without it becoming sexual. It would have added another layer to his character.

That being said, I did enjoy this book and I appreciate the ending and how it is a complete twist from the original.
