About this audiobook
As a wolf shifter with razor-sharp senses, Jessa Lebron can perceive the slightest change in the air. And her lupine instincts go into overdrive right before her mother, who abandoned her years ago, returns to the pack bearing secrets that change everything.
The biggest secret of all: Jessa is dragon marked, a designation that places her in grave danger. The dragon marked are destined to resurrect the dragon king, a fearsome ancient warmonger. And they must be eliminated.
Soon Jessa is locked up in Vanguard, the notorious paranormal prison that houses criminal vampires, feys, and magic users. Thankfully, she's not alone: Braxton Compass, her best friend and a dragon shifter, has her back. Jessa and Braxton must find a way to free themselves and the rest of the dragon marked. But can her pack mates help her stop the dragon king before his deadly return?
Revised edition: This edition of Dragon Marked includes editorial revisions.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I requested a review copy of DRAGON MARKED off of NetGalley on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised that after I started reading DRAGON MARKED I didn't want to put it down. I loved Jessa from the first chapter. She is fierce, protective, loyal and an all around bad-ass. She finds out very quickly into the book that her absentee mom is back and oh yeah, she has a sister. If that wasn't bad enough she finds out her sister is actually her twin and they are dragon marked.I absolutely adored Jessa's best friends and squad of protectors/pack mates (all of which are hunky guys). The Compass' are just as much a part of the story as Jessa is and I looked forward to reading about them and their antics throughout the book. There is a little bit of romance and a lot of sexual tension going on in DRAGON MARKED. Since I have already read book two, I know how things play out and I am not sure what events actually took place in DRAGON MARKED to separate them, so that is all I will say about that. I thoroughly enjoyed DRAGON MARKED. In fact as soon as I was done I purchased book two, DRAGON MYSTICS, and read that. When I was done with DRAGON MYSTICS I saw that Jaymin had another series I thought I would enjoy, The Walker Saga, and the first book was free, so I read that. When I was done reading FIRST WORLD I had to read all the books in that series too. It looks like Jaymin Eve has a new loyal follower.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I picked this up as a kindle freebie. Surprisingly, the plot was interesting, the characters were pretty well fleshed out, and I actually found myself really absorbed--hard to find nowadays with a 'new' (to me) author in the paranormal romance category! Unfortunately only the first in this series is out as of May 2015, but I will definitely keep an eye on this author.

I don't much go in for the paranormal fantasy genre. It's too much alike, and the romance is far too predictable. On top of that, the start of Dragon Marked reads just like a lot of others. So why did I find this book so darned irresistible? Tell me, why? Why did I keep reading?
So, there was just this little edge to the story, this just-ever-so-slightly tantalizing hint that there was more to come, and I wasn't going to be disappointed. Jaymin Eve writes in a natural, conversational style which is easy to like. She draws characters well, and her heroine's quirky relationship with food is amusing. In fact, there is a light touch of humour throughout. Then there are the four Compass brothers, and which one, I wonder, will Jessa end up with - or is there someone else in her future? Jessa's relationship with her potential lovers is in a constant state of tension. Things get even more interesting when Louis enters the tale.
Eve spins a fascinating yarn, about shifters and other magical folk in an alternate reality world a lot like ours, and sets up a gripping climax. The shifter and magic aspects of the story are fairly standard, but well done. (Why are they *always* alphas?) Where Eve succeeds for me is that she has not depended on these factors alone to make the story engaging, but has added depth in various ways.
Jessa is dragon marked, and the consequences just keep expanding, or exploding. Not to spoil the story, I don't want to say too much about the dragon marked or Jessa's family, but there are constant surprises which awaken ever deepening interest in the reader. Well, they did in me.
The editing is just slightly sub-professional, but I reckon it's good enough to be acceptable. The story ends at what I would call, if not a cliffhanger, at least a nailbiter moment; it is the first volume of a series. However, the story is reasonably complete up to that point and, honestly, it's a really enjoyable read. So go and get it, and then look out for the sequel. I will!1 person found this helpful
