"You always have a choice, Ellie. Always. This will have to be ours."Karina Halle is one of those writers you can always count on to never disappoint you - she is the like the band whose whole album kicks-a**, instead of only a few songs - her art consumes you completely, wrapping you up in the world she creates. Shooting Scars is an intense, raw, and gritty ride and I absolutely loved it. These characters are freaking brilliant - dark, flawed, slightly demented yet vulnerable.***Warning this review contains spoilers from Sins and Needles, book one in The Artist Trilogy, so if you have not read it - WHAT THE ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Do yourself a favor READ IT! ***Shooting Scars picks up right where Sins and Needles left off. Ellie is now in the hands of the man she has been running from for the past 6 years and has left Camden behind with his family. Javier has big plans for Ellie and the man responsible for her scars. He plans to make her a weapon and together they embark on mission fueled by vengeance, mind games and hate that leads them straight into the hornets' nest."This, Ellie, this is a whole new game with a whole new set of promises. Now, what I need to know is. Are you ready to play?"But Ellie and Javier aren't the only ones on the road. Camden with the help of Ellie's long time friend Gus also hit the open road determined to rescue their Ellie."All I knew is what I felt. And that the woman I loved, had always loved, had sacrificed herself for me. There was no getting past that. She'd embedded herself in my skin, like a tattoo I could never give myself."Mexican Drug Cartels. Exploding Coffee Creamer. Dirty Angel Wings. Revenge. Sacrifice.It is a wild ride, action packed, and full of emotion. I cannot say much more without spoiling anything - bottom line - THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. READ IT.
