Book Review: Pretty Scars by C.D. Reiss

In Carrie Drazen’s diamond-studded world, beauty is everything: a blessing, a commodity, and a curse. Her beauty got her past the velvet ropes and into high society, but it ripped her away from the man she loved and chained her to an unbearable life.

Then, in a single night, a song played by a mysterious and secretive musician carries her back to a past ripe with possibilities, when love could open any door.

Who is this anonymous performer?
How can a man she’s never met tell such a precise story of a boy she loved?

She needs to know. But sometimes masks exist for a reason, and this unveiling could scar them both.

I am a Drazen family-aholic! I cannot get enough of this family.  Pretty Scars is Carrie Drazen's second chance love story.  This family is takes manipulation to a whole new level. 

"You stand for everything I should run away from. But you do something to me. You make me want to possess you completely and I'm sorry, but that's what it is. You're mine. I won't take anything less than that." 

Carrie Drazen finds her Romeo, Gabriel Marlowe, until one fateful night when he was ripped away. Several years and one unbearable marriage later, Carrie hears a song that brings back her past. She's willing to put her safety on the line chasing a ghost. 

Pretty Scars brings back the intensity of the Drazen clan.  Declan Drazen continues his ruthless reign over his family. This story is an emotional whirl wind. I enjoyed how the duel POVs were divided. The author's timing was impeccable when switching the POVs.  It completed the story. 5 Stars
