Nineteen-year-old
Emily Sheppard is losing her sanity. Ever since her mob king boyfriend,
Cameron Hillard, abandoned her for her own good, Emmy has been attempting to
move on with her charmed college student life as if nothing happened. Now
rejected from the underworld and left grieving over Cameron’s alleged death,
Emmy realizes she belongs nowhere. Worse yet, she is now keeping a dangerous
secret.
After
just a short time with Emily, Cameron has lost control over his world. As he
miserably attempts to return to what is left of his life and unravel the mess
he has made of the underworld, Emily’s hate turns to desperation. She needs
to kill the kingpins responsible for Cameron’s death before they come looking
for her. As Cameron secretly observes Emily, he has no idea of the danger he
has placed her in—or that it may already be too late for him to save her.
Scare
Crow is a tale of revenge, terror, and love as Emmy and Cameron embark on
separate journeys to face enemies, correct past mistakes, and find their way
to their destinies.

I first fell in love
with Crow’s Row when I read it back
in 2012. It was an awesome story that I loved pretty much instantly. Needless
to say, I was super anxious, waiting for the sequel to come out. When I heard
it was releasing in March, I was over the moon ecstatic. Finally I would get to
see more of Emily and Cameron.
Scare Crow pretty much picks up right were the
previous book left off. Emily is still broken up over Cameron’s death…vowing to
make those responsible pay. And Cameron is still very much alive, trying to get
his organization under control.
I liked seeing her
Emily changed…how Cameron’s ‘death’ changed her and how she coped with that. I
could totally understand her wanting to make the people she thought was
responsible pay for what happened to Cameron, but her ideas were not very
realistic. That was pretty much expected though, since she has no experience in
killing or doing anything underhanded and dirty. But I was rooting for her the
entire time.
I liked the story, but
not as much as I was hoping I was going to and not as much as I loved Crow’s Row. This is the part were it
might get a little bit spoilerish if you like to go into the book without
knowing too many facts. So STOP here!
I did not like that I
didn’t get to see Cameron and Emily share any kind of scene until well past the
first half of the story. That was a little disappointing. And the ending? It
was…okay. It wasn’t the ending I was hoping for. It still left me with some questions,
which I was not expecting at all. But I
just recently found out that there will be a THIRD BOOK!! So I am placated…at
least until it comes out.
RATING: 3-3½ out of 5.
