I can not wait to read this. My cousin is reading Scarlet right now and she has refreshed my memory. You are so right about that ending.

DeleteWHAAATTT!!??! There is going to be a SCARLET sequel?! I had no idea. Just...*joy*...right now.
ReplyDeleteYES!!! Isn't it just the best news?
DeleteI saw this on NetGalley this week. Maybe you could get your hands on it early.
ReplyDeleteDone and done!
