The Lost and the Scarred (Kingston City Limits, #1) by T. Marie Alexander

Review by: Alysia The Lost and the Scarred by T. Marie Alexander was all about lies and secrets. It was a read that had me all twisted inside until I got to the end. Roxanna’s happy childhood was short lived when her mom died and her dad began taking out his evil and twisted punishments on her. One day during her father rages Roxanna’s nanny sacrifices herself to save Roxanna’s life. Leaving Roxanna on the run for what seems like days. Wran was just a child himself when he finds a little girl in a snow pile in his backyard. Even though he knows she is the reason, in his mind, that his father lost his job and became a good for nothing drunk, he feels like he should take care of her. Many years later when Wran comes home from the military. Secrets begin to unfold and Wran doesn’t handle them well. I enjoyed the book for the most part. I felt that it was slow at points, but picks up speed rapidly at the end. I felt that Wran was twisted in his own way, and enjoyed causing Roxanna pain, but also wanted to be the one to take the pain away. While Roxanna felt Wran hung the moon. **ARC received in exchange for an honest review***
