Marked (Servants of Fate Book 1)
CUSTOMER REVIEW
The flooded post-apocalyptic world and idea of ferrying souls to the afterlife caught my interest, but ultimately this book wasn't for me. The predominant storyline is a romance, and really, romance is the wrong word because it mostly consists of juvenile exclamations in the vein of he's so hot/she's so hot/wow, look at her bend over! And why is the heroine conversing with work colleagues while topless? Just weird, and not enough focus on building the characters and relationship beyond superficial attraction to make me care about whether the leads get together (not that there's much question about that). I would have preferred a story centered directly on the more interesting Charon plot. The author's Guards of the Shadowlands series had the same trouble (great concept overshadowed by a shallow and uninteresting love story), so perhaps this writer is just not for me. For readers who like the Shadowlands series, this book is more of the same and will probably be a good choice. On the positive side, the writing is skillful enough, the world-building is really well done, and the secondary characters are fairly rounded.
