Such a good book! Mercury is a badass heroine who takes charge of her life, Hawk is an emotionally literate, vulnerable hero, and their romance was steamy and soooo fun to read. Plot was full of twists and turns.

A dystopian twist on the classic tale of Robin Hood that sucks you in within the first few pages!
Mercury and Hawk, the main protagonists are well developed and interesting. With great character chemistry and well crafted plot, my first Scarlett Kol read has me excited for more. There’s amazing action, mysterious pasts, steamy kisses, and a definite need for more books, so I hope this is the beginning of a series.
I was happy to read for my honest review.

I received an ARC of this book, through Chapter by Chapter Book Tours, in participation of a blog tour. This is my honest review. And my review is like me: short and sweet.
This was a great twist on the Robin Hood tale. Its one of my favorites. This is my first time reading a Scarlett Kol book. It was great. It was a fairly fast-paced, fun read. Mercury and Hawk are amazing characters. Developed and written really well. There was a chemistry between them. I could relate to them. My head was in the story. Did it hold me from start to finish? To an extent.
4.5 stars.

Overall, Mercury Rises by Scarlett Kol was an engaging read. I really enjoyed this dystopian story and the uniqueness of the plot. Even though I wish we would have received more about the state of decay of New America and the deadly virus, it was still an captivating world. This definitely had a Robin Hood retelling aspect to it but I am glad it wasn’t the main focus of the story. Mercury was a great protagonist who really held her morals high and didn’t just want to sit back while innocent people were suffering. While she was a little hesitant to join the resistance her attitude made it apparent that she truly wanted to help. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dystopian resistant novels with threats of a deadly virus.
