To be fair it was due to the intensity and raw emotional state of the main character cutting close to home. 5 star read for me easily. ( ) I’m not quite sure where I first came across Saintcrow, probably via someone on twitter. I know someone recommended backing her Indiego project, but I never marked down who it was, and alas, not that memory has gone. I know at some point I had her mixed up with Deliah S. Dawson, aka Lila Bowen, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t the same person ;) Anyway, somebody somewhere said back this book. And I am suggestible1 so I did, and so I got my hands on this copy of The Marked. It’s an urban fantasy novel2 which I know is a turn off to some people. But in case you fear the romance, don’t worry3 this isn’t a romance book. It is, instead, a book all about grief and loss, how your life can alter in a second. How those life changing events leave marks behind. And in the case of this book those marks are tattoos, of a sort, and give the bearer power. Different powers, different tattoos, different people. And it is a really good, gripping read. It is well worth a read. I flew through it, and I will certainly be looking forward to where the story develops in the next book. It is “to be continued” and I’m so looking forward to that. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A winding road, a freak storm, and a lightning strike. Jude Altfall's life, just beginning to coalesce after her divorce, is shattered afresh. Dazed with grief, she's not sure if the weird things happening around her are hallucinations?or something more. And there's the mark on her hip-a tattoo she can't for the life of her remember getting. Preston Marlock left a shadowy government agency two years ago, to hunt a killer. Each time the bastard strikes the trail goes cold, and not even Marlock's more-than-natural abilities are helping. Now the killer's taken one of his very few friends, and there's a surviving witness. The Altfall woman is now that most precious and fragile of targets, newly Marked. All Marlock has to do is dangle her like bait, and the killer will eventually show up. The Skinner knows some people are different. Special. He has a collection of stretched skin and pretty pictures, each harvested with care. The trick is to take them while the victim is still struggling, still alive, otherwise their power is lost. He is careful, methodical, and precise, but chance robs him of a prize. Once he realizes Jude Altfall has what he covets, and has possibly seen his face, her fate is sealed. And just to be cautious, the Skinner might swat at the annoying fly who has buzzed along his trail for two years. Sometimes you survive. You bear a Mark. And some things are worse than death.
