ebook kindly provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.I enjoyed Marked by the Vampire! It wasn't perfect but it had just enough action in it to distract me.What did I like so much about this book:1) There wasn't too much time spent on world building. Perhaps this was because it was done in the first book (which I haven't read), but I doubt that's the reason because this book can be read as a standalone. The point is that I don't particularly enjoy being bogged down in the details of some of the more intricate world building that I've seen in some other paranormal books. It can be timely and take you out of the story. Here, things were straightforward and simple.2) It was a quick read that allowed for a brief escape. I can get pretty busy and stressed between work and school and sometimes I need to take a break from it all. But there's only so much time that can be allowed for that and this book fits perfectly into that time slot.3) I liked Shane's character. The alpha was strong with this one.What I felt could have used a little work:1) Olivia was neither likable or dislikable; she didn't leave much of an impression on me.2) Other than the fact that they were physically compatible, I didn't really see the basis for Shane and Olivia's relationship. Did they enjoy each others' personalities?Cynthia Eden's work makes for a great escape and I'm looking forward to reading more from her!
