Scarlet
By A.C. Gaughen
Release Date: February 14, 2012
Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in. It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin—whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her—that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.
Ahhhhhhhh this book sounds so good!! I love Robin Hood, especially the BBC tv show adaptation, so when I figure out this book was about a girl posing as one of his bandits (and falling in love with him...) I couldn't wait to get it! The cove is super pretty and the summary of "action, secrets, and romance" sounds exactly like the book I want to read! Early reviews for this book have been awesome (it has an average of 4.11 stars on goodreads), so I know it's going to be a good read! Can't wait for this one to come out and read a new take on my beloved Robin Hood :)
I've read a review about this one! They said it's really good! Nice pick Jessica! :) Oh, and it's in two weeks! Awesome :) You'll get it soon :) ;)

Oh, I want to read this, too. I'm such a sucker for fairy tale retellings, including Robin Hood. And the cover's fantastic, don't you think? :-)
ReplyDeleteCool! I never heard anything about this book, and I have to admit a book inspired by Robin Hood is something really new and fresh somehow! I loved the cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally ready for this one, too! I love retellings, and this one sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this book, but never seen Robin Hood (unless you count the disney animation) so I guess I'll have to see how people like it. Great pick! :D
ReplyDeleteI do love the story of Robin Hood so this book has grabbed my attention. Thanks for mentioning it, I didn't know about it before :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent pick, Jessica! I like the idea of a female posing as one of the thieves, and I love that cover! I'm adding it to my TBR list.
