Marked is another in the series by Benedict Jacka that mirrors the Dresden Files.

I like these books and the stories - but I feel like I read a whole novel where nothing really happens - it's a lot of running around and battles that leave us at the end in the same place where we began, maybe just a little tiny step further ahead.

And that gets really really old after awhile.

We are at the point in a series when I’m always reluctant to start a new book because I’m waiting for the series to start to go downhill. That, thankfully, isn’t happening in this series. Alex is in the middle of trying to recapture items of power, all the while people still want him dead. Admittedly, it’s a little harder since he’s is in a better position (see previous book) than ever before, but Richard is still trying to seize control, and Alex and the Council don’t agree on how to do it. But Alex knows him better than just about anyone and knows Richard won’t stop even if innocents get in his way. The author is a great writer, and the plot in this one has left us at the end where I can see many more books in this series without going stale. Alex is a little wiser/harder/stronger than before, and I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next, especially after the end. Give this one a try; you will love it! Highly recommend! I was provided a complimentary copy of the e-book which I reviewed voluntarily.

3.9 stars. Ended up skimming most of this one. Something about the pacing kept me from feeling invested.

Still a good story, but the focus on Anne's "dark side" is becoming a bit tiresome.
