Book Review: "Marked" by Kim Richarson

Book Title:  Marked
Author:  Kim Richarson
Genre:  Young Adult, Sci-Fi, Fantasy

Kara is our lead, David is our Male lead.  We are also introduced to several other characters including angels with names that are familiar and demons.

Kara is a teenager, therefore you must remember this when reading her story, as the narrative is from her point of view.

The characters are well done, quirky, fun and scary.  Something every kid needs to have to keep them involved in the a story and actually READ.  For me it was a "quick read" which is also important for the some kids.

The story allows you to root for the heroine and her friends, become invested and feel like they're an actual friend of yours that may be going through the hard times, pain and puppy love crushes that Kara goes through.  She has to fight to prove her innocence for something she had no idea she even had.  A mark on her skin.  She also gets to find out why the behavior of her mother has been so strange for many years.  Just like any kid thinks...  their parents are from another plant or something and have no idea what they're experiencing..... Kara gets to learn why her Mom has been so "weird" to her as she's been growing up.

The book leaves us taking a deep breath and helps you to believe in second chances.
