Scarred

The Never After Series

De: Emily McIntire

Narrado por: Paul Woodson, Ella Lynch

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.

Scarred is a dark royal romance. It is not a retelling, and it is not fantasy. It has mature situations and themes which may be considered triggers for some. Listener discretion is advised.

Great story, narration meh

Enjoyed the story, unfortunately I couldn’t connect with the narrators. I’m picky with my narrators though.

Fantastic

4 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 4 🎧

I really enjoyed this book. I had so much fun putting all the characters names to Lion King characters and guessing who was going to be the true villains in this Never After story.

Sara and Tristan were fantastic, as were so many of the supporting characters. Simon was adorable and I adored the queer nod to Paul and Timothy. The spice was spicy and the betrayal was high. This was so much fun.

The audio was great. I thought Paul Woodson and Ella Lynch were wonderful and I loved the way they brought these characters to life.

I enjoyed the book graciously, but the Audibile within the book option didn't work I had to actually download audible to play narration. Which we terrible. Maybe my signal maybe not hope they fix option. The author is wonderful with her craft can't wait to see her to bring other stories to life. Great Read.

Not for kids lol 😆 but definitely a fun lesson ♡

very good book definitely a bit of smut but it was a good book to read.

AMAZING!!! *Spoilers*

I cannot even explain to you how good this book is. I thought Hooked was my favorite book? No, Scarred is so, so much better! The Lion King was so brilliant of an idea, and the references to the movie are everywhere. I really enjoyed Michaels death scene at the end. Remember how in the movie, when Mufasa was hanging from the cliff? And Scar says “Long live the king” and pushes him off? Well in Scarred Tristan says “I would say, long live the king, but that wouldn’t be true.” The thought process that McIntire had to go through to come up with lines like that must’ve been very hard😂. It’s things like that for me, the little details.

To be honest, though, I wasn’t a big fan of Sara. She was just a regular old character that I never really got attached to. Plus my focus was mainly on Tristan🥵. The tattoos, along with his jet-black hair and rings got to me.


All in all it was a FANTASTIC READ! Read it in three sittings. Can’t wait to read Wretched and then Twisted in 2023!
