What it’s about
Alex has called it quits and stormed off, leaving Harlow alone and vulnerable in the danger zone with little chance of survival and a broken heart.
Luckily Jax finds her and brings her back to the caves. However, little does she know she’s returning with multiple souvenirs.
Standing out for all the wrong reasons has become Harlow’s specialty, and as the effects of her vertic switz tattoo set in and new issues are brought to light, she and her friends will find themselves in the line of fire with Rae and Electra.
Despite Jax’s attempts to neutralise the colour system, the Winter caves have become a death trap for Harlow, and Summer’s castle is no place for a Zeek. Harlow’s only sanctuary might be Spring’s Drake village, but her former ties to a Vallon are sure to cause friction with some of the residents.
Tough decisions will need to be made, but will she make the right ones?
About the Author
Born in Queensland, Australia, 1984, Nikki Minty rose into this world with a wild imagination. As a young girl, she would lay in her bed with her family of a night, co-telling stories about the big bad wolf and his turbulent adventures.
What I Thought
Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eArc in exchange for an honest review.
Ruby Red starts where Pastel Pink left off and like Pastel Pink there are a few twists and turns along the way. I still love reading Harlow/Ruby’s perspective as you can tell how innocent and inexperienced she is in this world. I’m glad we also get world views from Zavier still and Alex/Slater in this one.
The world-building is fantastic and I’m glad we’re no longer getting earth alternatives described in this. I love the different areas that we discover in this one.
This was an easy read and I finished it in no time at all, I was a little disappointed with the end as it felt a bit random but certainly leads into book 3 which I will keep an eye on as I want to find out what happens to Harlow,
