Mark of the Maiden by C.M. Tillman, C.M. Tillman

adventurous tense medium-paced

4.0

Mark of the Maiden picks up right where Deal with the Demon left off. Sage sets off to find Minx, rescue her, bring her back to Neviah, master their magic together, and try to save at least one of the worlds. Twists and turns make this task far from simple, but this dynamic duo is up for the challenge. Joined by a ragtag group of misfits, Sage and Mynx set off on their journey...

I really enjoyed all of the new characters that we added in this book. Alternating POVs specifically did a nice job of rounding out our main characters. Getting a few peeks at Kade's POV was also a particular treat. The plot twists in this kept me guessing the whole time and the ending was a cliffhanger that has me desperate for the next book! Overall I love this world and these characters.

I was absolutely shocked at the smidge of spice we got in this book! I'm not sure why I assumed this was YA, but it is not. I would have like the tone to shift more to make this more obvious (like to make the tone/maturity level line up a bit better), but overall I still loved this book. Just definitely something for readers to know!

If you like demons, witches, found family, and betrayal this series is for you!
