Have I mentioned how much I love the covers? No? Let me digress into that for a moment. We got to see Gina/Red on the cover of Red and we got to see the deliciousness that is meant to be Morgan's naked chest as well. On Scarlet we get more Gina/Red looking badass in black and red leather plus Morgan looking badass with injuries, a fierce look on his face and unfortunately completely covered. The third book, Crimson (due out in November), promises to have a beautiful cover as well. I'd be down for prints of those covers if I thought I could get some.
Back to business. We left Gina and Morgan ready to embark on their new relationship after the threat of Morgan's cousin Kane was eliminated, Gina stepped down from IPTT to find out more about her Other self (her werewolf side) with Morgan in Nuria and Roark Mongomery is three fingers down and swearing revenge left, right and center at Gina and Morgan.
Montgomery is like those classic villians who are willing to threaten anything and everything to get what they want. He doesn't scruple to abuse his power (discreetly) or drug people into compliance or blackmail people into compliance...hell he doesn't even scruple to have them tortured and killed if it suits his goals better. The man has no 'this is going to far' switch at all. The only thing that keeps him in check is making sure things stay as secretive and far removed from him as possible. The only moves he wants made are the ones that can be used to deceive the public into doing what he wants. Quite frankly I can't stand the man at all, but I appreciate the unrepentant evil that he represents. The future is bleak, barren and little better then desert tribes for the most part--that sort of atmosphere deserves a man who will do whatever it takes to grab power.
It also deserves a hero and heroine who will do whatever it takes to make it better and Gina and Morgan fit that bill mostly. They are both preoccupied with personal problems throughout the book--Morgan with his dead wife and kid being cloned and Red with her feelings of uncertainty and uselessness. Red's head is definitely more in the game then Morgan's is for this volume. Morgan runs headlong into what anyone with half a brain would recognize as a trap. That left Gina alone in Nuria, with half the town convinced she had purposely gotten rid of Morgan, the other half convinced that she was dangerous because she couldn't control her werewolf side and all of the town convinced she was sleeping around.
The Nurians surprised me the most I think in this book, but then again Morgan is their Alpha. He is the one who kept them in line with just a hitch of his shoulders. The rumblings from last book of wanting to replace him I think never completely went away and with him running off without a word to anyone but Gina, it must have made folks very worried. Scared too. Add to it the frame job that made Gina look like a murdering slut...well...
I bought this book and read it within the same 10 hour window. I am eternally grateful that I have Crimson from BEA to read next because I'm not sure I could wait until November. The end makes for some interesting dynamic shifts and power struggles, not to mention personal developments I am intensely interested in.… (plus d'informations)
