The book I am reviewing this week for 52Under2 is Marked by Jennifer Snyder. It is about 51400 words long and is available on Smashwords for $2.99.

Congratulations to Jennifer Snyder on the release of her novel.

Marked is the story of Tessa, a girl in a relationship with a jealous, controlling guy. When new guy Jace walks into the diner where Tessa works things start looking up. But Jace has a secret that will change everything for Tessa.

I got into this book quite quickly because of the characters – they were believable and the interactions between them were compelling. The relationships developed through the book at a good pace; the paranormal aspects developed more slowly.

The book was well-written for the most part. At the 60% mark it seemed to suffer some proofreading fail, including a your/you’re mistake.

I enjoyed reading it. Though I found it a little unbelievable that Tessa was pretty quick to forgive Jace for forcing his will on her after finding the way her previous boyfriend tried to control her so unacceptable.

Overall, I’d give this book 3 out of 5.
