BOOK REVIEW- MARKED (DARK PROTECTORS) Book 7 by Rebecca Zanetti

Janie Kayrs has known Zane almost her whole life. He was her friend in the dream world. She trusted him. But that was before he kidnapped her, spiriting her away to an isolated cabin to learn what her dreams never told her. Like how dangerous he looks. How he got on the wrong side of the negotiating table. And how much sexier he is in real life. . .

Zane is a battle-hardened warrior, used to command and solitude. But Janie has drawn him from the minute they met. His need for her could destroy everything he's worked for, but the risk is too sweet not to take it. They call her the Chosen One. But when it comes down to the questions of peace or war, life or death, safety or passion, it will be Janie who makes the choice. . .AMAZON 5 STARS


LOVED, LOVED this book.  It got my attention during the unusual start with the dream world and it hooked me and never let go.  It was an INTENSE, EDGE of the SEAT, WILD RIDE of a story and I loved every minute of it.   I hated it when I had to lay the book down to go do "stuff."  

There was plenty of action both physical and emotional in this book.  Zane had been through some incredible stuff when he had to go live with his sadistic uncle,  Suri.  But it was a good thing that had some good years with a loving vampire father before that.  Some of the memories of those years and his times in the dream world with Janie helped him keep some of his sanity.  He wasn't so sure of his humanity though.  He had to do a lot of things he didn't want to in order to keep his mother and two brothers alive and safe.  That's what made him The Ghost, the assassin, something that he hated. 

Janie was loved and protected but she also did all she could to be a fierce warrior on her own.  The weight of responsibility when it came to being The Chosen One was heavy.   It didn't take long for me to be pulling for the two of them as the story went on.  This book was also character rich when it came to the secondary people in this book.  It didn't go super deep into their stories but enough to care about them too. 
There were so many surprises, twists and turns that it almost took my breath away.  But in a good way.  There are so many people with their own motives that it keeps things moving.
 It seems that time after time, Janie and Zane bucked the odds.  Especially Janie, whatever was said couldn't be done, she did.  It made me smile wondering what her next surprise was going to be.

There is a great Epilogue or two at the end of the book that made me smile, again.

There is a quick look into another book by this author called, "Wicked Ride" The Enforcer Realm series.  It sounded so good I already have it set to read soon.
