Necati Aycicek necatiaycicek — I have conflicted feelings about this book. It was really good but was lacking a couple of things. Don't get me wrong, there were some really good things about this book and the good outweighed the bad by far which is why I'm rating this book 4/5 instead of 3/5. I'll start with the bad and move on to the good. I don't want to spoil things so I won't get into details about it but only getting to see Samuel for a paragraph or two in a church just didn't do it for me. He is one hell of an interesting character and I really missed him in this book. I understand that this is Mercy's series and that it isn't about Samuel but I adore him and feel that he is almost always underused. In River Marked, Samuel wasn't needed but I still missed him. I really need more Samuel in my life. He is by far my favorite wolf and not just in this series. Moving on to the other thing that kind of irritated me. Mercy and her new husband were on their honeymoon. You would think we'd get a beautifully written sex scene. That didn't happen. Sex was alluded to on numerous occasions but we didn't get any action. I found that rather disappointing. I was hoping for some super hot Mercy/Adam sex and felt jipped. I know that this is an UF series and not PNR but at least in the last book we actually got some sex. Sex is not needed in a book to make it good. I've read plenty of UF and YA books that lacked sex but again I say this was their honeymoon. I feel it was needed in this case. On to the good. When you take away the two things that I was disappointed with you are left with pure awesomeness. Mercy never fails to kick ass. It was great to FINALLY get some background on Mercy's heritage; who her dad was and how he came to be. I absolutely loved the addition of the character that brought all of this to light and hope that he comes back at some point. Kudos to Patricia Briggs for taking a creature of legend and making it her own. He definitely fit well into Mercy's world. The big bad in this book was just that; big and bad. I guess I should also add that the River Devil is super frakkin creepy and gross. I most certainly would not want to come across a creature like that. Just like always, in the end Mercy kicked its ass. Mercy is a very original character and the series as a whole keeps me wanting more with each book. I love the artwork for these books and think that the cover for River Marked is the best to date. Can't wait to see what happens next!!

Olaa Soqar olaa_soqar — A funny twisted story of a hard-scrabble gang of criminals scheming and plotting - whipsmart dialogue, very entertaining

El Moshakes elmoshakes45bd — I was hoping for a fun, light, chick-lit book to breeze by and make me feel great. While this book was an easy read I felt as though I was reading something written by a high school teenager who got dumped on prom night. The story is told in the first person by a woman who is 28 and got dumped on her wedding day. The entire book she struggles to admit she gets dumped and dates a string of unbelieveable losers. Her attitude is that of a bitter old woman who will "never" find love and her speech is of an adolescent teen who just discovered boys. Yet, in my opinion the plot was not the worst part, the writing was. I found multiple grammatical errors in the book and often the book had repetitve lines that were not funny the first time around. The only reason I read the book to begin with was all of the rave reviews I read about it. I also finished the book until the end just to give it a fighting chance. Sadly it just keeps getting worse.
