Review:
I enjoyed reading Marked , even though I feel it was a good read it was really slow to warm up for me. Immediately you met Mark and Kate, and it seems kind of like mark is crazy stalking some poor young woman who we late find out is Kate. Kate so fed up with her life tries to kill herself and that is when Mark steps in to “save” her by turning her. All goes well for the first few chapters, they each have a person they feed from so that they don’t go out and just kill random people; and then Mark decides to take Aimee (Kate) to Paris where is maker Damien, who just so happens to not be all warm and fuzzy towards Mark, lives. Once they arrive in everything seems fine, and then Damien summons Mark and Aimee to his home; where it would seem I becomes “enamored” with Aimee. Later we find out that they have a lot more history together even more than what Aimee has with Mark. It didn’t even take a second thought for me to be convinced that Damien was bad news, the author wrote his character well with all the serious bad vibes I got just from the description.
The author did very well with the development of the characters and plot, by the end I just felt so sorry for Aimee and the torture she had to endure at such a young age, only to be reborn again and meet the same abuser she so desperately wanted to get away from. I love that even though, He technically didn’t have her first, Mark was determined to be her only no matter the cost. I found Marked to be a really great read; All in all I give it 4 out of five hearts.
