"Eve of Warfare" by S.J. Day aka Sylvia Day  is the 'Marked' series finale that Day promised since she won't be continuing the series, bummer. Since this story falls after the third book in the series, newcomers unfamiliar with Eve, Reed, Alec and the Marked souls are not likely to enjoy this as much as series fans.Eve again is the pawn used to put the powerful now-archangel Alec Cain into play when it's time to hunt a heavenly vampire. The final book of the Marked series left us wondering (Alec) Cain or (Reed) Able? Who would Eve end up with? Eve of Warfare does wrap up the series, and answer that question but I even though I am glad Day managed this short in order to give us fans closure, I really wish this could have been a full length book -but then again I would have loved to have had three or four more full length Eve books and was sad to see this series ending at all.Ultimately I enjoyed the short. While the short format of this story doesn't really allow Eve's genius to shine through and I've always liked the dilemma of choosing between the two legendary and adversarial brothers, so I would have liked a bit more struggle with the decision, I was happy that a loop hole does get Eve what she's always wanted.(This review is a reincarnation from my review of the Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance 2 in which this short was first published and This story was 44 print pages long.)
