Blackwater Pack Book 4: Scars by Hannah McBride

Blackwater Pack Book 4

THE SCARS OF THE PAST

Addie Markham escaped her brutal past but is struggling to find her place now that she's free. With her daughter finally safe, she has the chance to find her own love. But the horrors she endured are anything but forgotten. Maybe she's simply too damaged for love.

BROKEN MATES

Nikolai Dashkov is the Alpha of the first pack. He was given a second chance with his mate, and he intends to keep her by his side. He failed to protect her once. He won't fail again.

FIGHTING FOR LOVE

Addie and Nik will have to navigate eighteen years of betrayal and heartache before they can reclaim what was stolen.

SCARS is the fourth full-length book in the Blackwater Pack series. It can be read as a standalone. The book deals with surviving sexual assault and domestic abuse, which may be upsetting to some readers.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Did I get an ARC of this book and read it in one sitting? Yes, yes I did. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not. This story was AMAZING! Everything we could have wanted in Addie's story. Her and Nik deserved their happy ending and they finally got it. The two of them have suffered so much, Addie especially, and their journey back to one another was perfect and simply beautiful. If you read the Blackwater Pack series so far, you know what Addie has endured. Now we get glimpses of her past and truly get to see so much more than we have ever imagined. She is one of the strongest characters I have ever read. She says she was broken over and over again, but she always says she has survived and healed over and over again to be there for Skye. To make her way back to Nik even. Her story like I said catches glimpses of her past and leads up to the present day of when she made the decision to go to Russia with Nik. But not everything is perfect yet. It will take so much more to beat the pain of her past. She has to really look inward and find a way to find herself once more and reconnect with her wolf. There may even be a way to do so... but at what cost? I adore Addie and Nik. I mean how can you not love Addie for her strength? And Nik, for his support? Also how can you just not love Nik? And they aren't the only ones we see in this story. We get more of Natasha (God, I LOVE her. She is the best and the most hilarious and wonderful being ever), Dimitri, and Lulu. And I have to say with the amount of Dimitri and Lulu content, I need their book ASAP! Hannah did a wonderful job with Addie and Nik's healing and love story. This world she created is simply wonderful and one I would happily dive back into all the time. Whether it's a new book or a reread. You don't want to miss this story!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
