Marked

There are a lot of things I liked and didn't like about this book. I'll start with the negative that way I can end with the positive. I didn't like the Wicca aspect of the book. I don't mind religions that are different from my personal beliefs. I even like to learn about them to an extend so that I may be able to understand other peoples perspective. The problem in this book for me comes from putting down other religions. I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe everything else should be left alone. I also didn't like the describing of calling or forming the circle. I found myself skipping a lot in this book. As this is a young adult series I find putting so much focus on the Wicca aspect can sway young readers.
My other complaint is the sexuality of the book. I am 28 and do not want to read sex scenes and I sure as hell don't want my sixteen year old sister reading them. Again, I felt that as a young adult book the sexuality as a little much.
Now for the good stuff. I LOVE the flow and writing style of the authors. The voice of Zoey reminds me of the way I talk with my younger sisters. Very young and fresh. the story line itself I found very entertaining which made me want to read the other books even though I had those two complaints. The book is a quick easy read and over all a very good book.
