If you

Redmerski, Madeleine Abducted (The Estate, #1) by M.S. Willis, and Seduced in the
Dark (The Dark Duet, #2) by C.J. Roberts then you will LOVE this book!
Basic Summary
Nineteen-year-old Emily Sheppard is
losing her sanity. Ever since her mob
king boyfriend, Cameron Hillard, abandoned her for her own good, Emmy has been
attempting to move on with her charmed college student life as if nothing
happened. Now rejected from the
underworld and left grieving over Cameron’s alleged death, Emmy realizes she
belongs nowhere. Worse yet, she is now
keeping a dangerous secret.
After just a short time with Emily,
Cameron has lost control over his world.
As he miserably attempts to return to what is left of his life and
unravel the mess he has made of the underworld, Emily’s hate turns to
desperation. She needs to kill the
kingpins responsible for Cameron’s death before they come looking for her. As Cameron secretly observes Emily, he has no
idea of the danger he has place her in—or that it may already be too late for
him to save her.
Scare Crow is a tale of revenge, terror,
and love as Emmy and Cameron embark on separate journeys to face enemies,
correct past mistakes, and find their way to their destinies.
First Impressions
Wow, well right off the bat you not only
understand the depression that Emily is in, you feel pouring off the pages
making you depressed and despondent as well.
From the very first word I could not put this book down and so far my
heart is just breaking for Emmy all over again.
Immediately you thrown back into the dark seedy underworld that Cameron
lives in, while at the same time watching Emily learning how to survive
again. So far this book is just so heart
wrenching and depressing and I love every single second of it.
What I Loved
There is so much I loved about this book;
I don’t even know how to begin. My heart
just went out to Emmy immediately and watching her just going through the
motions of life without actually living it was just so sad. I was immediately hooked the minute I opened
this book and I just wanted Cameron to come and take Emmy away from her
depressing life, to be her hero again and I couldn’t put this story down until
that happened (or desperately hoping it would until the very end).
I liked that this story switched
back and forth between Cameron and Emily’s point of view, this way you didn’t
just get what was going on in Emily’s life you got to see what was going in
Cameron’s as well. I love that Emily and
Cameron both disconnected from the world after he faked his death, they both
became robots in many ways.
I loved that this book explained
more of Cameron’s world, and his relationships with the other drug lords not
only in the US but in other countries as well.
It was great to see how things worked in his world because a lot of those
things were left out of the first book, he explained the most basic things in
Crow’s Row but you never got down and dirty with his world. It was awesome to see not only his caring and
loving side but you got to see his ruthlessness and his business savvy. I loved being able to see the drug lord at
work finally!
Not So Much
I really don’t have a lot of complaints
about this book; I loved every single minute of it. I guess my only con would be that with this
talk about underworld and darkness was just a tad corny to me. I know organized crime is exactly that, organized,
and there are many layers and facets to the drug business, but I have a very hard
time wrapping my head around all the drug bosses in the country sitting down
and listening to a twenty-something year old kid.
I love that Cameron is smart and knows his shit when it comes to the underworld, but at the end of the day he is child compared to some of these other
drug bosses yet they listen to him and they have go through him and the rest of
the coalition to make decisions. That
was just a little too unrealistic for me I guess.
This Book Was…
Amazing!
I loved it from the very first word to the very last word. There are tons of twists and turns as which
always keeps you on your toes, wanting more.
I couldn't get enough of this book and I am left with a severe book
hangover. There were times my heart was
pounding, and there were other times I had tears in my eyes. I
absolutely love Emily and my heart broke for her every time she would try becoming
happy and then hitting another wall. I
wanted to take away all her pain and at a certain point I wanted to scream at
Cameron at times. I was desperate to
know how all this was going to end for Emily and Cameron and I am counting down
the seconds till the third book comes out.
