"Second book in a trilogy that started with Skin Hunger. Like that book, Sacred Scars begins very slowly, yet takes off in unexpected directions about halfway through, setting us up for what could be an amazing finale. I think these two books are quite good, not your typical fantasy novels, but will require very patient YA readers."

Sacred Scars Listener Reviews

" It started out a bit slow, but I eventually found myself drawn in by the story. Sadima is a fantastic character, and everything develops beautifully. "
— Jennifer, 2/7/2014 -
" Repetitive in parts. I liked the first book in the series better. "
— Cass, 12/22/2013 -
" ...WHAT HAPPENS???? "
— Alex, 12/6/2013 -
" I'm usually a fan of the first books in a series and I've read many disappointing sequels, but this didn't fall short of my expectations. I loved it just as much as Skin Hunger. I'm waiting - impatiently! - for the next one in the series. "
— Isabela, 11/22/2013 -
" SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good, I don't think I could find a better book if I tried. Top 10 for sure. "
— Breanna, 11/2/2013 -
" I thought that from the middle to the end was really good, but the first half wasn't that great. And it seems like I know less then I did when I started it. I still liked it though! "
— wolf, 10/15/2013 -
" Slow moving at first and a bit too much swearing - but I liked it. I am dying to know what happens to the characters. Can't wait for book #3. "
— Brittany, 10/15/2013 -
" Not nearly as good as the first book. In fact, at times it was very unpleasant, but kept my interest enough for me to finish. I just hope the final book is better. "
— Cheralaine, 10/5/2013 -
" Can't wait for 3rd and last one of series! All my questions will hopefully be answered! "
— Jody, 10/5/2013 -
" much better than the first. anticipating the third to be pretty special based on how this book ended. "
— Cankles, 9/15/2013 -
" A great second book in the trilogy but not as good as the first. This one is a lot darker and the story meanders at times. It is still an intriguing book that makes you wonder what's next. "
— Shellz, 8/3/2013 -
" I liked it but felt it was a bit long... I know she had to cover a long period of time in the book but I lost some of my emotional connection to the female antagonist. I did find the male chapters fascinating. I can't wait to find out about Gerrard, who is by far the most interesting character. "
— Michele, 4/2/2013 -
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE THIRD ONE ISN'T OUT INTEROBANG "
— Megan, 1/24/2013 -
" I wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps if I'd read the first book in the series that would've helped but alas I did not. Maybe I will return to it again in the future. "
— Colleen, 1/6/2013 -
" where's the third book?? gotta read it "
— Kim, 11/3/2012 -
" It got better towards the end but it wasn't interesting at all. Part of me wants to find out how the series will end, but the greater part of me knows I could never ever read another book related to this series ever again. "
— Kirstyn, 9/10/2012 -
" Can't wait for the next one! "
— Tricia, 5/24/2011 -
" dark and dazzling <br/>I find Sadima's character intriguing and she is an amazing part of this series. I think i was put off a bit in the beginning due to the nature of some of the content, but it took me by surprise and I am looking forward to the 3rd sequel. "
— Elbera, 5/3/2011 -
" I really really liked this book! I absolutely cannot wait to read the second one. Hurry, hurry hurry! =) "
— Twinkle, 4/30/2011 -
" I didn`t like this as much as the first one but still a good series. very dark. the second half of the book was very slow and didnt really have a plot... Sadima was just going around, marrying random guys and not knowing her identity. i was so sad when she didn`t know who Micah was. "
— Teagan, 2/26/2011 -
" The flip flopping between the two stories isn't what's interesting, rather the strength of the characters and the fantastic portrayals of struggle/hardship are what matter. I have to say that I prefer Hahp's story over Sadima's, even though both are well written. "
— Mac, 2/4/2011 -
" The second book in her trilogy was quite good. Looking forward to the third volume. "
— Pat, 1/10/2011 -
" So far its a pretty good book.:) "
— Rena, 1/7/2011 -
" I wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps if I'd read the first book in the series that would've helped but alas I did not. Maybe I will return to it again in the future. "
— Colleen, 12/18/2010 -
" A little slow and overly detailed at times, but overall a very inventive and creative fantasy. I look forward to the next installment to see what happens to all the characters. "
— Christine, 11/6/2010 -
" Now I can't wait for book 3! I liked book 2 much better than book 1. Found myself far more interested in Sadima's story than Hahp's. "
— Kelley, 11/3/2010 -
" Literary high fantasy. Great world building, great characters. Rich language and an insightful plot that takes its time, leaving you yearning to know what happens next. Can't wait for book 3! "
— Amanda, 10/20/2010 -
" This is the sequel to Skin Hunger which I read a few weeks ago. This was also good -- it dragged just a bit in the middle for me but really picked up at the end and I can't wait to find out what happens in book 3. "
