Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop
5.0
This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
After a slower third installment in the series, I felt like Marked in Flesh picked things back up again. Whereas, in the last book, Meg and the Others were floundering trying to figure out how to care for the cassandra sangue and keep them alive, in this book I felt like they made more actual progress. And Meg really started to come into her own – learning how to control her ability and advocate for herself when she needed help. (Of course, there were still some pivotal scenes where Meg’s ability was critical to the well-being of her loved-ones.) Meanwhile, the battle between the humans and the Others came to a head in this installment, and there were HUGE repercussions! In the romance department, things between Simon and Meg remained at their snail pace (which I appreciate for the most part), but I felt like there was more development than in the last book – and that both Simon and Meg are seriously considering how they might take steps toward more. Hopefully Bishop will indulge us in the next book! I can’t believe I have to wait a year now to find out!! I give this book 4.5/5 stars.
