Scarlet

Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen 5 out of 5 stars

Follows the story of Will Scarlet, the thief and skilled knifesman of Robin Hood's gang.  The thing is Will Scarlet is in fact just Scarlet, a young woman is a complicated past.  Held in Robin Hood's debt she remains a member of his group, though she can't say that she minds that much when she has the chance to help those suffering in Nottingham Shire.  With only Robin's gang knowing that she's in fact a she, Scarlet does her best to help those under the sheriff's regime while keeping her past with the knew thief hunter under locked.

Robin Hood and his merry "men" has always been something that fascinated me.  Scarlet is a narrator that I could understand and relate to, even if our lives our as different as night and day.  I loved her interactions with the other "merry men" and enjoyed the ride if the novel.  It was another one that I figured out the big plot twist less that a third of the way through the story, but honestly I thought it made reading the narrative all the more enjoyable.  Lots of action, a little bit of romance, and a compelling story made this an excellent read!
