This was a gift from Steven Montano in exchange for an honest review.I'm giving Black Scars a Strong 6 out of 5. Thats how much I like it. I've continued to start on book 3 Soulrazor before I'd even written this review!Once again the world is still at war and Cross is still caught in the thick of it.With a new but ancient evil; The Sleeper; threatening to awake, Cross and a group of mismatched mercenaries are in a race against time to get to the Ice Ruins to find the one thing that can stop this newly awoken ancient evil. However, Cross soon finds that he has become the new target for The Sleeper. Will they find the Woman in the Ice before The Sleeper finds them? Cross is one again forced to go places and do things that He never thought he would. His skills as a warlock and a warrior are once again put to the test and his limits are pushed even further.Mr Montano' writing style is once again amazing, as I found myself drawn in from the start. The descriptions are detailed enough that I can imagine myself being there in the story seeing and feeling everything! The setting and the characters have grown and progressed; ruined earth has been given extra depth, characters are bigger than ever, and the shadows are darker than before!I definitely recommend reading The Blood Skies books and would highly recommend reading them in order too.Favourite Quotes:"There was a body on the ground in front of them, and it was still moving. Greasy innards dangled from the waist where the legs had been torn away from the torso. Thick chains still attached to the bulkhead, held the severed limbs a few yards away."Loc 4973 Kindle."Cross looked at the vampires in the crowd, and they were as stoic and as still as wax statues. They had deep eyes like pits and moon-pale faces. Lips drew back to reveal grey fangs dripping dark venoms."Loc 6948 Kindle
