Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim
5.0

The Count of Monte Christo has new life breathed into it with Scavenge the Stars, a beautiful and violent retelling that will capture your heart. When Amaya, trapped by a debtor, frees a stranger who promises her revenge, she's forced to flee and accept his offer or serve for the rest of her life. When Cayo discovers his family legacy is a lie he must do what it takes to save himself and his sister. These two collide in a fit of great passion and revenge that forces you to glide through the pages all at once. There is no stopping this bloody tale once it gets rolling, and it will leave you gasping in the dust when you hit the last page, begging for the next book. Sim has managed something that's hard to do, she has turned the Count into a unique and beautiful YA book.
