What is it about?

(Blurb From GoodReads)

My name is Vinna, and my magic is an asshole.

I mean, what else would you call it when it does whatever it wants, whenever it wants?

Now I have Enoch and his coven looking at me like I’m the one, and a bunch of pissed off Chosen.

I have no answers and no time to deal with this shit. Lachlan and Keegan managed to get themselves caught by Adriel, the big bad lamia who murders and hunts Sentinels.

Time is running out, and If my Chosen and I can’t get battle ready, then we’re destined to become more names on the list of the missing.

It’s time to meet the lamia who’s been coming for me my whole life. It’s time to do what no one else has been able to do. It’s time to cut the fucker’s head off.

Author’s Note: This is the third book in The Lost Sentinel Series and ends with a cliffhanger. This book is a medium burn reverse harem story, intended for ages 18 years and older. This story contains strong language, sex, and violence.

Thoughts on The Marked and The Broken

I truly LOVE this series! Vin is everything I want to be when I grow up, though her journey is nothing short of horrific.

Now, surrounded by her chosen (and a few spares she can’t explain) she is heading into the belly of the beast to confront the terror that has quite literally been stalking her throughout her life, along with the people she is just beginning to know.

This installment finds answers to quite a few questions, continued relationship growth, a few surprises and enough action to satisfy almost every one of her runes. It almost feels like a final novel with the way the threads are tied…. until the last page.

Favorite Lines

I know what it feels like when death robs you of something precious. (5%)

But I’m fresh out of fucks these days. (14%)

Pros:

Answers!!!! We get some.
Steam level: this one takes the heat and launches it sky high, hitting nuclear in sheer action. In no way does this detract from the story.
Surprises….. there’s a few, trust me.
Satisfaction: two moments stand out as justice served or earned.
Flows well.
Character growth, you can SEE it.
Vin is learning to count on others and learning that she CAN’T do everything herself. Almost.
