Wow - how to start...This book has been out for a few weeks - I believe I have all of Karina Halle's books.  I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them.  When Shooting Scars came out I was so anxious to know what would happen with Ellie, Javier and MOSTLY Cameron...Sins & Needles (1st of the trilogy) was so well written with such a different story that I just did not know how "Shooting Scars" was going to live up to it...I was actually "nervous" about reading it.  Shooting Scars is even BETTER than Sins & Needles!!! How an Author can take a story and make it even MORE exciting and MORE suspenseful than the 1st I just don't know - When I read Karina's stories - I feel like I am in a MOVIE...and that my mouth is hanging open MOST of the time.  SS is exciting, suspenseful, sexy and just all of it wrapped into a story the does NOT leave me hanging BUT has me biting my nails for the 3rd and final book "Bold Tricks".  I am totally "Team Cameron" BUT I have to say, I would NOT be ashamed to wear a Javier shirt either...I am so "Switzerland" when it comes to those 2 men.  In fact I think I should just get a "Team Ellie" shirt - I LOVE her strength and her sense of survival.  From the beginning of SS where Ellie is getting to know Javier again after 6 years and Cameron "also" getting to know his "exwife" again - and Gus coming back into play with the story I found so many twist and turns throughout-The way Karina describes her scenes - makes me feel like I am Looking at a picture in the book as I am reading.  Gus's character this time is so important and I Loved the part he plays in Ellie's "rescue".  Cameron finds his inner strength from the LOVE he feels for Ellie and Javier finds friends in the most Unexpected people.  I LOVE this book and recommend it for ANYONE!!! It will NOT disappoint!!!
