When it came to The Marked Son, the first novel in the Keepers of Life series, by author Shea Berkley, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I went into the novel with my eyes shut, but lately on Goodreads and on the net I have been finding a lot of reviews that have raised hype for the story. ...

My thoughts:Cover: I absolutely like this cover.WATS NOT THE LIKE A BOUTH IT? A couple of YA Fiction covers are hideous , or the cover is the best thing about that book, meaning it sucked. Not this one the cover added to the book, you could see Dylan ,that the way I imagined him. The cover draw...

What was that?Ok, I really liked Dylan and his personality. I also liked Kera. But I didn't get the point of this book.

What really captured me with this book was the human characters at the beginning of this book. The mother was portrayed perfectly as a parent who is abusive to his son. I know that is strange praise, but I really felt it was true to form and usually authors tread lightly around this subject. I thoug...

The Marked Son opens with a GREAT beginning. I was hooked immediately and found myself laughing so hard at some of the things that came out of Dylan's mouth. He was very entertaining and very mature for his age. The story is told from two points of views and that is Dylan and Kera. The relationship ...
