The Twisted Mark
by Sophie Williamson
Quick Summary: A magical see saw, sci-fi/fantasy romance with dark tones
My Review: The Twisted Mark by Sophie Williamson is book one in the Witch Trials series.
About the Book: When a murder, an unclaimed promise, a mother's whispered communications, and nefarious intentions impact the lives of two powerful beings, the town of Mannith doesn't know what to think.
About the Leads: The connection between Sadie Sadler and Gabriel Thornber defied logic. It was up, down, tilted and twisted. Their relationship took pain, pleasure, and passion to another level.
About the Family: The family dynamics in this story were quite dramatic. There was an element of manipulation mixed with dishonesty from the outset. There seemed to be an imbalance that existed in the Sadler family circle, where all parties weren't treated the same. What should have been steady and sure in the unit came across as fluctuating and inconsistent.
My Final Say: Although the story started a bit rough, it eventually smoothed out. Once it did, it engaged me completely. Readers who long for a dark tale with gray leads will enjoy this novel.
Other: Some of the actions of Sadie and Gabriel very much kept me on the edge of my seat. With that said, some of their antics gobsmacked me until I was rendered speechless. (One major situation knocked me so senseless that my spouse was startled by the sounds I was making. Lol)
Rating: 4/5
