This review is a combination for the first three installments of The Token by Marata Eros.This series begins with a fatal sentence for Faren Mitchell. Talk about starting off with a POW!In Faren’s desperation to maintain the best care for her dying mother, she is willing to do whatever she can to make money. This includes selling her body in ways she previously could never imagine. I could feel her dignity chip away with every lap she danced on. She begins to lose herself and the identity she once knew.Jared “Mick” McKenna swoops into Faren’s life unexpectedly but at the best possible time. He could be the answer to the few lingering hopes remaining. Her battered self-esteem has Faren constantly questioning what Mick would want with her. I appreciated how she still stands her ground and doesn’t back down even though he intimidates her. She doesn't let him consume her, no matter how hard Mick tries.With Faren’s terminal fate casting a shadow on what time she has left, she decides to throw caution to the wind and follow her instincts. There is plenty of unpredicted drama and danger following her to keep life interesting. I loved not knowing what was about to happen and that element of surprise was very well executed.The secrets Faren keeps from Mick could tear them apart but she fears once he knows what she is hiding he will leave for sure. A moment of pure, innocent bliss is worth a touch of deception. When her feelings for him become more than what she ever anticipated, Faren realizes her mistakes are more than he could forgive. This is such a complex and twisted mix! I really enjoyed reading this crazy and wicked novel adventure.Kiki was a fantastic secondary character and she was created extremely well. She brought necessary light to this dark tale. Kiki’s spirit and vibrant attitude made this story even better. Her personality was infectious and I was immediately drawn to her.Marata Eros’ writing style is very unique and entertaining. It added a different dynamic and twist to make this story really stand out. I was caught up in this series from the start and I cannot wait to read the remaining three parts.
