From the very first page, this read grabs with an amazing character, who demands attention, as she takes on a villain one can't help but hate.

This was such a refreshing dystopian! While there is an unjust society with a huge divide between classes, this plot doesn't fall into the simplicity of blaming it all on a single, evil government. The heroine, of course, is strong, determined and quite the fighter. She carries the name of Scorpion, and the background to this added a nice touch. It was easy to root for her from the very beginning, and interesting to follow her as the situations she faced changed drastically. The side characters offered a nice richness and aren't all they seem to be. It's hard to know who to trust or what their true motives might be...and that kept things interesting.

It's hard to put this read down thanks to the fast pace. As soon as one problem is solved, a new one takes it's place. There are quite a few action scenes, which fit well with the Scorpion, and definitely keep the tension high. Romance is woven in as well, but it glides along side the main plot and offers several surprises too. Scorpion's feelings, on this end of things, are subdued and often come across more as something she isn't completely convinced about or even sure of herself. And this fits in perfectly with her personality and all the other things she's up against. It was definitely an enjoyable read.

I received an ARC and enjoyed the tale more than I thought I would. So, I'm glad to leave my honest thoughts. ( )

I was scrolling through the books on Net Galley one day, and stopped when I saw this great cover. The tag line: Revenge is poison, also did it’s job. It leapt off the page, and, when I read the blurb, I knew I had to have it.

Tessa. The Scorpion. Robin Hood of the Dark District.

She robs from the rich who live in the Light District and give to the poor in the Dark District.

Climate change has wreaked havoc on the world, making once was habitable, inhabitable. Their country is the place of last resort, and, of course, the privileged claim it as their own.

Tessa had started out the apocalypse on her own, but quickly added to her ‘family’. She does have a love interest in River, a best friend from the wrong side of the district, Elle, and Cass, a child, who she has taken in as if she were her very own. She feels now is not the time for love and romance and fights her attraction to River.

Tessa is a tinkerer, creating bots that she calls Scorpions. She sends them out ahead of the search party, scouting for danger. They scavenge for what little they have, on the verge of starvation, even setting traps for rats.

Everyone needs a champion in desperate times and Scorpion, a humble, young girl, rose to the challenge, believing that someone has to do something. She never saw herself as a leader and questions how that even became possible.

She is betrayed, ending up in prison, where she finds an unlikely ally. I saw the betrayal coming very quickly.

I love the inventory she takes at the beginning of each chapter.

I love the dystopian world Cindy R Wilson created. I felt the need, the desperation, the urgency for the characters. At times it unrolled like a movie playing in my mind, the writing making it so easy to visualize them skulking through the streets, patrolling, battling for survival.

This may be an ARC, but it read as if it could be the final product.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of Sting by Cindy R Wilson.
