Summary
Once Upon A Time，
there was a king who passed。
He left behind two sons，
one beloved and one outcast。
The older of the two was set to take the throne，
but before he could he had to find a queen to call his own。
The younger one was known to be unruly and unhinged。
The chosen queen was warned to keep far away from him。
Beautiful and cunning， in the light is where she stayed。
But late at night， it was the shadowed lands in which she played。
Mistakes were made and secrets forged;
forgetting duty and her sense。
And while the new king had her hand，
her heart belonged to the scarred prince。

I loved this book。 I could not put it down。 I haven’t had a 5 star in awhile。 I thought it had a perfect ending。 The visuals for the book really felt I was there experiencing it。 I was not a fan of hooked。。 3 stars。。 but this was beautiful。

I’m feeling generous… was this good？ Not really， no。 Did I enjoy it？ Yes， very much… villains？ violence？ sex？ torture？ burning down a kingdom？ revolution？ It was made for me“You could burn down the entire kingdom until it’s nothing but charred rubble， and I would crawl over the embers with glee， so long as I could worship at your feet。” LIKE how can I not be obsessed

I LOVE this book。 It's a lion king retelling。 One thing I think people fail to realize with books like these is， you can hate the characters all day long and not agree with them， and STILL like the book。 You don't have to agree with， or even like the main characters。 But， also， if you don't like morally grey characters with god complexes that will literally kill for you， what are you doing here？ It is not meant for the faint of heart or anyone that wants a healthy romance。 It is depraved， dark， I LOVE this book。 It's a lion king retelling。 One thing I think people fail to realize with books like these is， you can hate the characters all day long and not agree with them， and STILL like the book。 You don't have to agree with， or even like the main characters。 But， also， if you don't like morally grey characters with god complexes that will literally kill for you， what are you doing here？ It is not meant for the faint of heart or anyone that wants a healthy romance。 It is depraved， dark， and twisted。 Tristan is a perfect morally grey character。 His god complex is beautiful。 😍 The best part is even the female is morally grey。 When do we really ever get that？ It's usually the innocent girl and the demented man。 This was a breath of fresh air。 She did a great job sprinkling in things related to the Lion King。 It was like finding little easter eggs throughout the book。 I love that the author has a detailed list of triggers for anyone that needs it， even though she prefers people to go in blind。 Hello， Collen Hoover， maybe we could get on this too？ The epilogue was beautiful。 I loved how it wrapped everything up and really felt like we got the ending that they all deserved。 。。。more

It was slow starting， but once I made it about halfway through the political intrigue， the spice， and the character development cranked up to 11。 Tristan and Sara became much more interesting， fleshed out characters once they were together。 My biggest gripes were about how slow it was to start， and how annoying some of th side characters were （like Xander）。

When I first read that this book is a Lion King retelling， I was a little concerned。 I LOVED Hooked by Emily， but I was a little worried how this one would play out。 Holy。 Shitting。 Balls。 This book made me *feel* things towards Tristan， aka Scar from the original story。 I may or may not have a huge crush on him now 🤣 This book was spicy， dark， thrilling， everything you want in a book！ This book had me on the edge of my seat， just like Hooked。 Safe to say I’m a fan of Emily’s writing 😅 I loved t When I first read that this book is a Lion King retelling， I was a little concerned。 I LOVED Hooked by Emily， but I was a little worried how this one would play out。 Holy。 Shitting。 Balls。 This book made me *feel* things towards Tristan， aka Scar from the original story。 I may or may not have a huge crush on him now 🤣 This book was spicy， dark， thrilling， everything you want in a book！ This book had me on the edge of my seat， just like Hooked。 Safe to say I’m a fan of Emily’s writing 😅 I loved the multiple POV’s hearing the feelings from both Sara and Tristan was so fun， especially when they tried denying how they felt about each other 😉1000000000% recommend this book to fans of spice， really cool and unique retellings， and anyone who can handle quite a bit of gore 😬 。。。more

I started on the fence。。。But I ended happy I finished。I wasn't a lion King kid， too old when it came out and annoyed by the obsession the kid I babysat had for it。However， Scarred is the Lion King we all need。 I love the characters， the way she interprets them from beast to men is amazing。 It's storytelling in its finest。 I do wish the books weren't one offs， I want more of these characters， but honestly can't wait to start the next one。 I started on the fence。。。But I ended happy I finished。I wasn't a lion King kid， too old when it came out and annoyed by the obsession the kid I babysat had for it。However， Scarred is the Lion King we all need。 I love the characters， the way she interprets them from beast to men is amazing。 It's storytelling in its finest。 I do wish the books weren't one offs， I want more of these characters， but honestly can't wait to start the next one。 。。。more
