Benedict Jacka's kind of a jerk.
He kept me up waaay past when I should've been asleep two nights in a row and now I have to wait another WHOLE YEAR to learn what happens next.
Sigh, I guess authors are just like that sometimes.
5 / 5 stars

Marked is the 9th book in the Alex Verus series, and Alex is still going strong. Alex is on the council of Light Mages, and it's still a difficult uphill climb dealing with the light mages, especially after the incident that happened at the end of Bound.
Alex is put in charge of gathering the artifacts that were stolen, and he is learning the old adage of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" being stuck having to deal with Onyx and still trying to figure out what Drahk is pulling, and why he wanted the artifacts in the first place.
Along with dealing with a very polarized council, Alex is trying to figure out Morden’s game while being locked up.
Alex and Anne are the main focus of this book, along with dealing with the council and the artifacts, Alex is put in a situation where he needs to confront "Evil Anne" and help Anne realize that she needs her dark side to help balance her out, despite Anne locking "Evil Anne" away a long time ago. This is in a world were dark and light mages are both good and evil. The two main protagonists are in a world where their very survival is at stake.
The way this left off, there really needs to be a 10th book.

Don't like the whole split personality storyline...dll she needs is the love of a man to fix her..gah!
It's been a bit since I've read the previous part but I immediately fell back into this world.
I still like Alex and his friends a lot.
I'm still scared that Alex will go darkside and stay there. :/ I'm also scared for Anne - what she did in the end can't be good for her. :/
I wish that there would have been more of Luna and Varim.
Plotwise not too much happened that let the story go further. Some stuff <i>has</i> happened but it also kind of feels that we are kind of stuck at the moment. *shrugs*
