Publisher's summary

Janie Kayrs has known Zane almost her whole life. He was her friend in the dream world. She trusted him. But that was before he kidnapped her, spiriting her away to an isolated cabin to learn what her dreams never told her. Like how dangerous he looks. How he got on the wrong side of the negotiating table. And how much sexier he is in real life....

Zane is a battle-hardened warrior, used to command and solitude. But Janie has drawn him from the minute they met. His need for her could destroy everything he's worked for, but the risk is too sweet not to take it.

They call her the Chosen One. But when it comes down to the questions of peace or war, life or death, safety or passion, it will be Janie who makes the choice....

Love is about to start conquering....

HUGE twists, turns and surprises here with plenty

AudioBook Review: Stars: Overall 5 Narration 5 Story 5
Spanning the time since we first met Janie, it’s been 20+ years, and she’s always been at the center of the action. The “Chosen One”, her psychic abilities and her dream walking have been a constant winding thread through all of the stories. Years ago Janie made a friend, her BEST friend, Zane. She’d talk to him, tell him things that she shared with no one else, and somewhere in her mind, had determined she loved him. But Zane is not the innocent and protective boy we first met, and he did,in fact, try to warn her off repeatedly.

But Zane is not the only person that Janie spent time with during her dream walking. Kalin is a Kurjan, purported heir. A bit of a psychopath, more than a little unhinged and spoilt, he’s got ‘plans’ for Janie. But, the one outstanding feature in this story is Janie’s belief that she can (and will) keep everyone she loves safe and end the war.

HUGE twists, turns and surprises here with plenty of action and several on the edge of my seat moments where everyone’s happiness, let alone life and love, is in danger. Secrets all come out of the closet in this – some I didn’t even know were secrets! Every faction has their own version of how things will end, most conflict although those that do come “true” have some serious kinks in the works that no one expected. A wonderful wrap up to an epically engaging series.

Karen White has provided the narration for this series, and the continuity did help this series as a listener. Her ability to maintain character voices, delivery, accent and tone, as well as appropriately age Janie from young girl to young woman, gives listeners an instant reference that brings each character to mind. Throughout the series, White has nailed each emotional moment, taking her time to deliver the punch without overdramatizing or adding elements that would be too much. Dialogue, action and even silence are delivered to put the words on the page front and center, allowing listeners to disappear into the world where they can visualize and feel every moment. You’d be hard pressed to find a better narrative performance for a series than White. Having experienced her work in other genres, I know that she is certainly a must listen for me. In what had to be a formidable project, there were no moments that distracted, the listen was easy and the performance felt effortless, a great trick. This is a favorite series of mine, and one that will get lots of “relistens” when I want to escape and just enjoy.

I received an AudioBook copy of the title from Audible Communications Team. I was not compensated for this review all conclusions are my own responsibility.

It Was Very Good Book

I liked how the book did a recap without being overwhelming. The author did a good job throughout. Kalen's involvement was minimal and I was surprised by that. I thought he would have had a bigger role but it was not disappointing. And yes I would recommend this book along with the other books in the series.

GREAT FINISH

Where does Marked rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the most memorable series

What does Karen White bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

As the series went on her performance got better and I fell more and more in love with the characters

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The birth of the baby

Any additional comments?

Don't miss out on a unforgettable series... I loved ALL the books

Marked - Good but…

Loved the series and am glad everyone got their HEA, but at times it was very frustrating. Such as Kane being the smartest on the planet but it was Emma who finally figured out the cure. All those hours and years in the lab and they never came up with anything. That was disappointing. Being all about the war and strategy I would have thought that at least they could have developed some sort of helmet to protect against the mind control from the Demons. It just seemed that for being the smartest people on the planet they didn’t advance in all those years. With that said, even though I did like the series I’m not sure if I will continue the second part of the series. I was also disappointed that we didn’t get an update on the demon Nick. I would have liked to have an update on Maggie to.

I just can’t stick with it.

Normally I finish a book but I just can’t with this one. I feel like there is potential for a good story but it just didn’t happen. The narrator also was a negative for me.

Sizzling romance

This is an action packed sizzling romance. I enjoy move Ms. Zannetti’s Books very much and this one was no exception. I’m looking forward to the next one. The narration was, as always, exceptional. Thanks for another great book
