Wow, definitely a 5-star rating. Loved this book! The first book in this series was a very good stepping stone for setting up the story-lines in this second book. I loved the way how the different characters and plot lines came together. Also, I really like the new main characters introduced in Scarlet. It was a fun fast read: there is plenty of action, adventure and romance (and humor from Iko and Thorne). This book was also more terrifying than the first, not in a horror kind of way, but some unnerving stuff goes down -just saying-... 
 Really looking forward to reading Cress!
