Resumen del Editor

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Evergreen Academy was meant to be my fresh start. My hair was on point. My skin was flawless. And now, I wore the hell out of my clothes instead of hiding them.

Even running into Ryder hadn't thrown me. So what if the silver-eyed devil who tormented me for years now ruled my new school with a band of boys everyone called the Knights. The four of them were devastatingly rich, enviously handsome...and heartbreakingly cruel.

But the Evergreen Knights didn't scare me. I had my own plans and no reason to enter their little world, until one fateful night and a masquerade ball changed everything.

I saw something I shouldn't have, and now, I've been marked. They'll do everything they can to break me, but they don't know the monsters I've faced. They don't know I've been broken before.

If they want to take on Valentina Moon...bring it on.

Marked is a reverse harem high school bully romance with a sweet tinge of mystery. This is book one in the series.

Warning: The story features language, dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you're cool with that, dive in!

100% Invested

Marked is pure entertainment that hits all the necessary marks with both story and writing.

The narration is spot on for a teenage female, making the entire experience believable.

Excellent

I had the fortune of getting a copy of the audiobook from a friend. I'm so glad that I did. This book has everything. High School drama, rich kids with too much power, the sick way that kids can treat each other, and the strength character it takes to get through high school.

The audiobook was beautifully narrated, and masterfully produced. I would forget for long periods of time that it was only Jillian Yetter narrating. I got lost in the words.

The world of Evergreen Academy is beautifully built, and richly painted. I can't wait to dive into another year with Val, Sophia, and the Knights.

Great story

I’m not a big fan of reverse harem novels. I actually bought this one accidentally, but after starting Valentina Moon’s story, I was transfixed. I was so into it, I had to binge it at 2.5 speed and immediately buy and start book two. I can’t wait to find out what payback the Knights, Ezra, Maverick, Jackson, and Ryder, have coming.

Heartbreaking and Shocking

This book was fantastic. The author is phenomenal and the Performance was absolutely perfect. So ready for book 2.

Really good!

This was really good, and I’m definitely getting the sequel. I did however figure out what the cliff hanger was going to be from the very beginning. Didn’t ruin the story, but just made it so I wasn’t that shocked at the end.

Amazing.

This book gave me very much RICH BOYS OF BURBERRY PREP vibes by c.m. Stunich. But she was strong and fierce. She had no fucks.
But very different in so many ways. & it’s a RH you can go wrong. I loved this story. She wasn’t a weak female she was very strong and the plot twist are like damn. Really I didn’t see that coming.
I finished all 4 books in like 2 1/2 days I was obsessed couldn’t stop listening, books 3-4 change narrators and you can’t even tell. It was truly amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Worth credits and money..

WOW ..... JUST WOW

this book has made me scream and get mad when people are so mean.... but with all the screams came tears and this book came with a AMAZING MESSAGE TO REMEMBER... WE ALL HAVE CHOICES YOU CAN'T BLAME YOUR SHITTY CHOICES ON WHAT OTHERS DO... WHEN SHIT GETS REAL YOU STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP .. ... THE CHOICES YOU MAKE IN THESE TIMES OF RIGHT AND WRONG.... THAT DECISION FALLOWS YOU FOR A VERY LONG TIME.


TRUST IS EARNED NOT GIVEN FREELY .... IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING SOMEONE CAN EARN .... MAY TAKE YEARS TO GAIN THAT TRUST ... BUT ONE FUCK UP YOU CAN LOSE AND SHOULD LOOSE EVERYTHING...

BEING SOMEONE WHOSE WALKED PRETTY CLOSE TO THIS GIRLS LIFE ..... I WISH I HAD BEEN NEAR AS STRONG AS SHE IS ..... IT'S BEEN ALOT OF WORK AND 20+ YEARS OF NIGHTMARES AND PANIC ATTACKS THAT PLACE ME IN THE HOSPITAL .... BUT EVERYDAY I'M JUST a LITTLE STRONGER AND THIS GIRL IN THE BOOK HAS IN A WEIRD WAY ME STRAIGHT TO PULL FROM .... I'M THIS BOOK IT'S ABOUT THE SCHOOL BULLIES.... IN MY LIFE IT IS MY BLOOD LINE AND THE SHIT PARENTS DO WHEN THEY DON'T WANT A KID SO THEY USE AND ABUSE THEM FOR WHAT THEY WANTED...

Overall 3.75 STARS

I read and listen to a lot of bully books. Usually I like one or two of the bullies and want them to get their act together. In this one though I did not like any of the guys. That’s not a bad thing though since it is a bully book and there is four in the series. I just didn’t warm up to any of them. I wanted so bad for the heroine to one up them. The heroine was strong and stood her ground which I liked. Can’t wait to unravel some of the secrets surrounding the school in the next book.

Narration was ok for me. Sometimes the narrators voice would be way too loud and there was almost an echo? Also there was not much differentiation between some of the characters and her inner monologue and I was stuck trying to figure out who’s dialogue she was speaking. Overall 3 1/2 stars for the narration.

amaze balls

oooh, I listened from start to finish and after this review I'll be going on to the second book!

Good storyline, could be triggering for some

Narration: I enjoyed the narrator for the first two books, the narrator for the 3rd/4th book didn’t have the same voices for the male characters. Might be bothersome to those who listen consecutively.

Story: I enjoyed the female lead, lots of backbone and sass. The 4th book, tho, seemed like the FMC changed personality a bit...but that’s just a nitpicky observation. If you like the steamier sex scenes, you won’t get that with this book, they are pretty mild.

If you like CM Stunich, this book is very similar (Rich Boy of Burberry Prep) ... quite a few plot similarities but a more mild version.

Warning (and minor spoiler): could be triggering for some with sexual trauma.
