Review: Scarred (The Lost Sovereign Book 3) by Anna Hawke

About the Book
An immortal woman masquerading as a human. A powerful man who can’t afford to trust her. A corrupt ruler determined to destroy them both.

Naomi is gifted with a rare power vital to their species’ survival. Hiding among the mortals has allowed her to evade detection from the brutal men who hunt her. A chance encounter draws the attention of Zayn: the ruthless, honorable prime building a rebellion against the oppressors of their world.

Defending his legion from any danger has always been Zayn’s priority, no matter the toll it takes on him. With her real identity a mystery, Naomi’s presence in his territory risks everything. He only knows that she fears the men he’s sworn to defeat. Nothing has prepared him for the battle he must wage to win her heart—and protect her from those who would seek to exploit it.

With the rebellion hanging by a thread and a tyrant tightening his grip, they must decide whether their fated bond can withstand the looming supernatural war—or if it will shatter under the strain.

Author's Note
Scarred is a dual perspective paranormal romance with urban fantasy elements. As part of the Lost Sovereign series, it can be read as a standalone, but we recommend that they be read in order. While the romance within sizzles, this series is fade to black/closed door.


MY THOUGHTS

I loved this book so much! The gripping opening line pulled me right into this fast-paced story. I was glued to the pages! It's my favorite book of the series! Each book gets better and better, which is saying a lot because they’ve all been top-notch.

I really liked Zayn and Naomi. The chemistry between them was off the charts! Zayn had a strong personality. (That could be a lot at times.) But I liked seeing his softer side. And I loved seeing the bond between him and his siblings. Naomi had been through a lot, which is an understatement. I loved seeing her inner strength and her character growth. I was so proud of her!

If you’re a fan of closed-door paranormal romance, you’ll love this series! I can’t recommend it highly enough. While this could be read as a standalone, I’d still recommend starting with book one.

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
