This time, Barker isn't going to let Cody slip away so easily. Six time in the last ten years, Barker has caught Cody in town only to have Cody to vanish the next morning. So when he can, he takes a hotel room across the street from his mate's apartment and watches Barker live his life.īarker is older now, not as easily intimidated as he was when Cody was cast out. For ten years he has been stuck like this in constant pain, cast out of his Clan, unable to be with his mate, Barker. There are way better works of Sean Michael out there.Ĭody is broken, caught between human and werewolf, his body constantly trying to shift but it can't. I unusally like Sean Michael as an author and I will keep looking out for his books, but I wouldn't recommend this one to anybody starting to read this author's works. The sex scenes weren't especially hot and I saw myself skimming huge parts of them. The tiny little pieces of plot that the story is able to offer are lost within the huge amount of sex scenes and I wasn't able to care for the characters at all. Unfortunately, the story is focussing on uncountable times of mating. The idea of a wolf shifter, that can transform at daylight and has some further special abilities isn't bad at all and I really wanted to know more about the why of Casy's condition. Marked is by no means a thoughtful read, where you start to care for the characters and where you want to read more and more about them.
I read a few reviews on Goodreads and I was afraid that the repetitive use of the word mate would make me throw the book in a corner within minutes, but I guess the fair warning made me way more indulgent.
The horrible cover of the edition I acutally have put me off - but I refused to shelve it and switched to this edition for aesthetic reason (I don't want to see the ugly cover poping up in my bookshelves again and agin) - and I'm always picky when it comes to shifter stories. I have to confess that it took me a long time to pick up Marked.
