My New Book Review for Whatever It Takes By Nicolette Scarletti

Whatever It takes Review

            Hi!  As you know, sometimes I do surprise reviews for brand new books.   This is my new book review and this time it is a brand new book by a brand new author, Whatever It Takes by Nicolette Scarletti.  Since I love discovering new authors, I was excited when I began this book.

            The book opened up with scenery set in real places but with a cloak of fantasy that was alluring.  Mrs. Scarletti did well with making the scenery a character which is always something that makes the story worth reading because it keeps the reader’s interest.  This story had no problem keeping my interest.   

            The characters were wonderfully intriguing.  Dara was beautiful because not only had she been shredded to pieces, she put herself back together strong.  Josef is more than just a pretty face and he definitely has that.  He can handle his own and that’s what makes Dara and Josef and perfect synchronization.  Also, the bad guy is beautiful at least on the outside but don’t worry, you won’t have a problem hating him and wishing for his death.  The rest of the characters are beautifully written and will keep you engaged. 

            Now, for the plot.  It is beyond anything that I hoped for when beginning this book.  It is a bit dark but with a story like this, it needs to be.  I really enjoyed it.  The scenes between Dara and Josef are so hot, I was sweating just reading them.  The scenes between Dara and Sabine reminded me of the bond I have with my little sister and the scenes between Dara and Kristoff made me hate him with every I breath I took.  This story made me experience emotion and any great story does that.  Whatever It Takes is a great story.  I fell in love with each word. 

            I will end this with the obvious.  I would recommend this book though not to the kiddies.  There are some scenes not suited for children.  I would also caution against people who have a problem with torture.  There is a bit of that but for everyone else, you should read it.  I am positive that you will fall in love with the story too.
