REVIEWED BY NEV
A copy of Marked
was sent to Confessions of a Reviewer by the author, Stuart Park, in exchange
for an honest review. This is said review. This book is published by The
Sinister Horror Company.
Well, that’s nearly true but with a slight variation. I
actually picked up a copy of Marked
from the Sinister Horror Company stand at this year’s Horror Con. It was from
someone new and you can never have enough books so I grabbed it. A short time
later I was contacted by Justin Park to see if I could review it for
Confessions. Of course I agreed. I already had a copy so went for it.
Stuart Park is Justin Park’s brother. On one hand you would
think it fortuitous that his brother is one third of the SHC, but on the other
hand, if you know Justin and the rest of the guys, this would grant Stuart no
special favours. The book would still have to be quality for them to put it
into print.
So how does it fair? Let’s find out.
Mark and Kim are at the seaside with their four-year-old
twins, Ben and Kaylyn. In a freak accident or tragedy or as it turns out,
unexplained mystery, Kaylyn goes missing.
Twenty years later and the memories are still very
strong. Especially for Kim and she constantly struggles with her broken heart.
It is a time of wonder. Venus and her sister planet are
coming to the end of a three-thousand-year cycle and the stargazers are going
crazy for the phenomenon.
They don’t appear to be the only ones going crazy!
