Description: 

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.
 


Review:
F*ck. This book. This book. All. The. Feels. I waited I don't know at least 2 years for the sequel to Crow's Row? And I kept imagining just oh my god what would happen to my sexy Cameron and sweet Emmy and BAM this book came out.

Do you understand how many things that I want to write down but I just can't describe in words. This book. This book from a list of AKHFKJFSKGKDFKDJKF to NO JUST NO is like so high up. I swear this is so fucking good that I can't even. I need a moment. Also, the third book, if there is going to be one. Yeah I need that too. Because CAMERON AND EMMY AND BILLY.

Oh yeah, there may be some little spoilers. Ahem Billy. But you won't fully understand them until you read the book which you should, you must and now you will!!!! It has been such a long time since I have read such a beautiful book okay! Like first it starts out depressing because ahem Crow's Row. Then journey, journey, journey, BAMZ. Hola. The plot is just so intense. And the characters are just so so so beautiful and wonderful. Oh and my dahling Griff. You poor thing. You suffered my dear. I love you still. Also, meatball you baby boy. You kept our sweetie Emmy alive <3

Have I mentioned how much I loved this book? Because it was beautiful! Really beautiful. It was a little fast paced at some parts. A little too fast for my taste but I think it was still really wonderful and great and just. 

Also, Cameron. JULIE! How could you make Cameron suffer so so so much :'( Oh poor baby. I just want to snatch him out from the book and stroke his head. It's going to be okay baby. It will be. (At the end of the book SO GO READ IT.)

I swear Crow's Row was great, fantastic, so addictive and then Scare Crow is like ∞ times better. Like yeah it DESERVES that ∞ sign.

Before I posted this and I was in my room I was literally just lying there. I did this for Crow's Row and now I'm doing it for Scare Crow. I mean did you ever have that book you just got so attached and mindblown to it that when it ended you just didn't know what to do? Yeah, this is the book. After posting this I'll be going back to my bed room and doing so again.

Like this.

 And yeah this.
 And obviously this.



I just really have to get it out first.

I really really really wanted to give it a 5 out of 5 stars but I felt the ending was a bit too fastpaced for my liking. As I mentioned sort of. However, it totally deserves a 4.5 because it's just so so so so so so
so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so close to perfection and there's no 4.999999999999 anywhere. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go read this book. You will not regret it!

If you really need some more incentives. Here are two of my most favourite quotes/moments :)


♥ 
"Hey, Buddy,
Stay the fuck away from my sister.
Sincerely, B.
P.S. Thanks for watching over her. Thanks for everything. But seriously, don’t even think about it."

♥ 
Love,” he corrected me. “Never loved, never supposedly. Love in the past, the present, and the always.


Oh look, I started crying again. Okay bye bye. Go read it. Here are the links to purchase them.
