Zenn Scarlett by Christian Schoon
4.0

Loved this book! I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed it - this has been on my TBR for quite a while so it took me a long time to get around and I think it was something added on a whim, or possibly when entering a giveaway. But wow!

Zenn Scarlet is basically training to be a vet - but not just any normal veterinarian, she lives on Mars and has to learn to treat all kinds of quirky, crazy-looking animals creatures.

Generally when it comes to creatures in sci-fi novels, it can be hard to picture exactly what they look like but I found the descriptions in Zenn Scarlet to be really fantastic. They were able to give me a really clear picture in my head of what they looked liked - from the spotted piggy hyena of a Yoke, to the two-headed, long-necked Sunkiller.

Add in a plot of the outside trying to destroy the school, and then Zenn's sudden strange ability to get inside an animal's head and you have a pretty interesting read! Oh, and have I mentioned Liam's smirk?
