Marked by Sin by Shanna Swenson
5.0

To say that Eden’s story has been the most anticipated one of this series would be an understatement. The entire series began with Eden and now the entire series is coming to an end with her. Eden’s story is a tough one to read. It is emotional, heartbreaking, but also full of inspiration and power.

Eden’s past is dark. Its heartbreaking. However, even though she has risen from the ashes there is still a fear of her past, a part of her past that still continues to haunt her and rule her life years later. She keeps her mask on to protect herself, to keep strong and never let anyone have the chance to control her again. That is until Callan Manning slowly starts to enter her life and slowly remove her mask.

The chemistry between Eden and Callan is off the charts from the start. They are drawn to each other. I loved Callan’s patience when it came to Eden. He knew she was hiding something dark and he never really pushed her. He was there for her and supportive and once he learned all of her deep and dark secrets I only fell for him more. He didn’t run, he didn’t shy away, he helped her, he supported her and he become someone that she could lean on for support.

Eden is a BA. That amount of strength and fire within her is amazing. She can hold her own and she is a fighter. A survivor. A smart woman. She also has an amazing family and support system.
Marked by Sin is the final book in the series and did an amazing job at wrapping up lose ends throughout the series and also brought the perfect endings to each women’s story.

If you’re looking for a book that is dark, powerful, steamy and emotional this is one to read!
