Thank you Walker Books for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

Set in a fragmented future England, The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne introduces us to a world where gunfights and monsters collide, and where the formidable outlaw Scarlett McCain fights daily against the odds. When she discovers a wrecked coach on a lonely road, there is only one survivor – the seemingly hapless youth, Albert Browne. Against her instincts, Scarlett agrees to escort him to safety. This is a mistake. Soon, new and implacable enemies are on her heels. As a relentless pursuit continues across the broken landscape of England, Scarlett must fight to uncover the secrets of Albert’s past – and come to terms with the implications of her own.

Review:

I didn’t read the blurb for this book, but the cover was something that hooked me in right away. I mean outlaws is an instant hell yeah for me!

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne is based in a dystopian version of Britain where we meet Scarlett, a bank robber and young outlaw. Scarlett stumbles across Browne and the two set out a journey while running from their enemies.

This duo is powerful, exciting and wonderful. While I loved seeing them develop their friendship, I found that the book dragged on for two long. While it was edgy, it was muted by a great deal of conversation. But with that in mind apparently this is the first book in the series so the overall plot and world building could be developed as the series go.

Rating: 4/5
