J.M. Sevilla any book you write.. I will be reading! So any more you release, just send them my way ;)I absolutely adored book 1 in the Marked series and was really excited when I got sent this arc.I may have jumped in joy..okay that's a lie because its just to cold for that s***, I did do a little wiggle in my chair! I know, I know ain't I bloody active girl!I was going to read it later because this one it the last book in the series *sobs* but it just didn't work out that way.Since I am on the subject of this being the last book, can we have more? pleasseee? Ben and Arianna and Hattie and Charlie soo need their own book! *puppy dog eyes*“I can’t imagine a life without you in it. You make life worth experiencing, worth living.”This book starts off where book 1 left off, Lily has gone home and Jay is trying to lure the marker out.It's kill or be killed.He wants her safe and away from everything as there may be a chance that he doesn't make it.They are separated and in this time you see change, their characters grow and become better versions of themselves. Lily who was at first seen as a meek and somewhat shy becomes more confident and brave.jay on the other hand wants to change, to become a better person for Lily.Nothing is that simple and as the story continues there are twists and excitement,intense scenes and pages you just can't stop turning.I was pulled in right from the start and couldn't stop reading until I had finished it.I tried to slow down, I just didn't want it to end but them my curiosity got the best of me.“I’m afraid that somehow I’m cursed, and if the universe hears me something will happen and you’ll be taken away from me again.”Jay struggles to become a better person, he believes that she deserves better and has no idea what she is doing with him. Their separation is difficult for both of them, Lily is always worried that Jay may not ever come back for her, what if the Marker kills him? She is trying to get on with her life but it just isn't the same without them having each other. Jay's love for Lily is more than he could have ever imagine it even overrides his hate for The Marker. His need for revenge is nothing compared to his love for Lily and he will do everything in his power to keep her safe.“Be that man, Jay. Be the man who fights for us and will never let anything destroy what we have. Don’t doubt the love we share.”Circumstances causes Lily and Jay to meet up again but its not easy and there is a lot of danger.Can their love survive? Or will The Markers plans break them apart forever?New characters were introduced and I wanted to know more about them as well as old characters returning.We find out more about Ben and Arianna as well and I need more! Since reading book 1 I have had a soft spot for Ben and my heart hurt for him and I wanted to see things change for him.I recommend this series to everyone who wants an intense, thrilling, action-packed journey filled with love, revenge and much much more!**Arc provided by the awesome author for an honest review**
