Marked had an interesting premise. Cacy and her family have some supernatural power and the job to ferry the recently deceased to the afterlife they deserve. Since they collect Charon's coin (from the Greek mythology) for each person, they have become unnaturally rich doing so. It also aids Cacy in her role as a paramedic, because she can also see when a person is marked for death and will die for sure so it allows her to prioritize her patients well. Eli and his brilliant sister Galena enter the scene as they move to Boston and Eli soon finds himself more than just the work partner of Cacy as he is rapidly pulled into warring supernatural families.

While it didn't always made a hell lot of sense, I quite enjoyed this part of the story. It was exciting enough to keep me going and considering I have copies of the entire series, it was for the best. Unfortunately was added to that a romance. *sigh* It was love on first sight, obviously because they are both so good looking. Personally, I couldn't care less about them. Hope this is not how the story continues, I would much rather see some more ferrying.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

The best was saved for last. I will admit I was intrigued by Moros. Aislin was a character I was less interested in, only because she was aloof and didn't come across as the nicest person in the previous 2 books. This book changed my mind. Aislin is kick ass! Great couple. Lots (and I mean lots!) of things going on. Good twists and turns.
This quote was great: "Her sense of herself, her confidence, her power- they all turned him on..."

This is the third in the series and based on the flow I imagine there will not be any additional ones.  That being said, as with the others I thoroughly enjoyed this story.  I started out listening to this one as an audible while doing chores and because it would sync with my e-reader I finished it on my kindle and I enjoyed both formats.

The narrator of the audible did a credible job switching between characters (she was also the narrator of the prior 2 in the series) and in some ways made them come to life in a manner that I am not sure I would have captured had I just been reading the story.  Along those lines I was so captivated by the story that when I finished my chores for the day, I had to pick up my e-reader to finish the book because I just could not put it down.

This was a pleasant surprise. So, the Ferrys (last name), ferry the recently deceased to either heaven or hell. Set in Boston, in the near future, the current world is unrecognizable due to catastrophic global warning and the subsequent unrest and disease that broke out. Think of the "lawless west" including Pittsburgh.
Nice twist with betrayal (one of which is guessable, the other more of a surprise). Mythology with with twist. Cacia and Eli are a good fit.

Moonlight Reader started the TBR Thursday, and I think it's a good way to a) show what new books I've got and b) confront myself with my inability to lower my TBR. In fact, since I started recording it, it has risen significantly. I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong here...

I hoped that this week would be the one in which I actually started lowering the TBR. It was not to be unfortunately. Still, it looks like there are some awesome books in there...

TBR pile currently stands at 328. (+2)
