So I hated Hooked. (This is relevant info, bare with.)
I didn't plan on picking this up.
Then, this TikTok of me breaking down recs for 'I will raze the entire earth to save you' went viral and my comments were infiltrated with people saying I needed to read Scarred, aaaaaand that it was much better than Hooked.
Turns out I hate this too.
→ worldbuilding? abysmal.
→ descriptive writing so I can picture something, ANYTHING in my head? non-existent.
→ number of times "Tristan's 🐓 stiffened" in non-sexual settings? concerning.*
→ number of characters I gave a single shit over? zero.
*Also, would it kill you to switch it up? There are other ways to convey a character is turned on. Jesus.
One thing is very clear: Emily McIntire's books are absolutely not for me and I will never pick up anything else she writes.

"Was told Scarred was much better than Hooked 😒 LIES. The following are abysmal:
- worldbuilding
- descriptive writing (Where are we? What are people wearing? I can’t picture ANYTHING in my mind because nothing is outlined)
- The number of times “Tristan’s 🐓 stiffened” at the tiniest thing is concerning
- I don’t give a single shit about ANY of these characters
There’s more but I’m out of space"
