The Grand Ruin: Lance & Scarlet, Part One by J.C. Hawke
4.0
A solid 4 stars.
Absolutely loved this as part of this little universe of friends. Also want to die a little because it had a cliffhanger and I was so hyped to read the WHOLE story but that just makes me more excited for the next.
I can’t even say how much I fell for Lance and Scarlet. The way they just could not stay out of each others lives, starting off a little rough and then all the way into full romance frolicking under the stars (literally) head of heels in love with each other.
These two characters so desperately need each other, with Lance’s family being leeches and Scarlett’s dad relying heavily on her but not really be able to support her and her brother being wildly unreliable because of his own issues. They both needed someone to confide in, someone who would never let them down and this is just the perfect read as you watch them grow closer and lean on each other.
Unlike book of a similar wavelength where all the characters connect but the books take place one after another, I would definitely recommend reading the previous books in the series as this one runs alongside them, with events happening at the same time to a different degree of detail.
Sometimes this was a little tiring to read as it felt quite repetitive reading events I’ve already seen before. But Scarlett and Lance’s POV’s are very different experiences from Mason and Nina‘s so it wasn’t too much of an issue and I still loved it just as much, if not more.
