Review - Scare Crow - Julie Hockley


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.


My Review of Scare Row

Everything that I thought I knew, I was wrong.  This book is about darkness, betrayal, love lost and so much more.  Emmy is on her own after Cameron dies, she is lost with out him.  Having been given a chance at a normal life away from the cartel, she wants none of it.  Emily wants revenge against those that hurt Cameron. At least she still last Meatball.  I LOVE THAT DOG.

Cameron had to die, so he keeps telling himself that.  It was to protect Emmy.  She was a target, he had to get her out and give her a chance to live a normal life.  Cameron is on a mission to take over the cartels and get back at those that hurt Emmy.  There are those that need to eliminated.

Only Emily really believes that Cameron is dead.  Griff is in love with Emmy and Carley wants Cameron to tell Emmy the truth.   Cameron is calculated and ready to make those pay. My only issue was Emmy. I understand that she was hurt and wanting to get back at those who she fought killed Cameron but she was not taking care of herself and that pissed me off to no end.  She needed to grow stronger.  I hope now she will.  I want to see her kick ass.

What worked for me was dual POVs.  I loved being inside Cameron's head. There are so many other thing that I want to share with you but I won't ruin it for you.  It's with the read.

The book ends with a sorta HEA.  Not really.  There is a lot of unfinished business for both Emmy and Cameron.  I shall wait for the next book.
