The Mark, a beautifully written and captivating novella, kept me on the edge of my seat and completely spellbound. This original and thought-provoking piece of erotic fiction is part one Arla Dahl's Immoral Virtue Trilogy. This is one book you're going to want to read, both Sabine and I LOVED it...I mean, love, love, LOVED it!!!Why did we love it? Because it is unique, we had no idea what to think or how to feel about it and when we talked about it after we both had a ton of questions. Which is good.  The book takes place in 1682 during the Salem witch trials. Six women are accused of witchcraft have to prove their innocence.  To do this they must undergo a through exam by Governor Jameson to make sure they don't have the mark of the devil. This book is about Abigail Prescott's exam.Can you imagine how scary it would be to have every inch, nook and cranny of your body examined and how you respond determines your quilt or innocence. Plus, you're totally hot for the guy doing the exam. Talk about a predicament!When I started the book, I was nervous that the time period and language would be an issue and would pull me from the story but it only enhanced it and I didn't even notice after the first few pages.This book was an unexpected moisture maker!! I was surprised by it ability to turn me on, I almost felt guilty being turned on and getting so into this girls fear but it was really hot. I thought Jameson was caring, wanting to do the right thing and incredibly loving considering the circumstances. He's a dom and doesn't know it. So hot!! The twist at the end was awesome and made me want more.Looking forward to the next two novellas and seeing where Arla takes these two characters!Story: 4.5 (We'd give it 5 if it was a full length novel)Moisture: 4
