Dragon Marked by Jaymin Eve
4.0
New adult paranormal romance set in the US. Everyone knows they are a shifter, have grown up in a shifter community (with a few exceptions) and they are 22 in shifter university, which is not like regular college. From what little you see of it shifter university is morning combat training followed by the Roy of combat and history. You have Jessa a wolf shifter as your FMC, with the rough around the edges but not in a way that makes her a b***h cockiness/teasing/etc you get when you've gone up the one girl in a group of guys, and the knowledge to play dirty occasionally and pull the girl card on her over protective guy friends, especially when cake is involved. There are a number of references to the characters getting it on like rabbits (not with each other) but no actual scenes. Having finished book 1 I haven't actually figured out what kind of romance this is. The description includes a review that this is for grades 9 and up, which makes me thing this is your normal live triangle, but there are moments where you are like yup, these are her four guys. Then you are like oh no, that guy belongs to that girl. Then you are like nope she definitely has four. Or wait is she just with this other guy? No its one guy but this one. OK no its four. Wait but that one goes with that girl. At the end of book 1 I still have no idea if this is a love triangle or a slow burn harem. I'm totally cool with a long burn harem (I actually like those best in the harem universe, they quiet the objections my brain throws out) and I'm OK with one guy one girl, but I just want to know up front what kind of love story I'm getting into. Do I need to pick teams? Do I need to be preparing myself for the heart break of the guy's who don't win? (I'm always sad for them). There are moments where you are like yup, these are her four guys. Then you are like oh no, that guy belongs to that girl. Then you are like nope she definitely has four. Or wait is she just with this other guy? No its one guy but this one. OK no its four. Wait but that one goes with that girl. Ah wait is it five guys? No its four but that original one is swapped out for this one. No wait it's three.
The unclear love story aside, I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to book two. Although I will say, I did drag my feet at little.aroubd 40%. The way the description laid things out o thought the story was going to go one way and I just really wasn't into that (kind of like with 90s TGIF sitcoms when you watch them.now and you are like nope this is the moment Corey makes a cringe worthy decision. Don't do it Urkel! Michelle you know Uncle Jesse is going to be upset with you for that. And you just have to change the channel because you just can't) ut I stuck with it and it didn't play out the play the description was leading me to believe, so I'm glad I stuck it out.
