Review and Giveaway - The Mark by Marilyn Bunderson

She's had it forever. A tiny mark on her hand. No big deal, right? But when Tori discovers that her ordinary freckle is really some kind of microscopic tattoo, she doesn't know what to think, especially after meeting Eric, a guy she feels strangely connected to--and not just because he has a mark too.
All too soon, Tori and Eric realize that atheir marks are only the first clue to a mystery that will change everything. And with each new discovery, Tori finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into a world she could never have imagined.
The premise of The Mark intrigued me. The book capitalized on that premise. Each new discovery made me want to read more. There was a bit of suspense, a whole lot of mystery, and times when I just had to ignore my cute boys and keep reading.
The romance reminded me a bit of Twilight. A young girl who's never been in love, then falls so hard she can't handle being apart from her boyfriend. Thankfully Tori has her own talents and abilities so she isn't completely dependent and Eric is really cute, even if I could be his mother (it's hard getting old).
As an adult I really enjoyed this book, but I'm betting it's going to explode in the YA market. I will definitely share it with my nieces.
The book is set up for a sequel. I'm excited to see what happens to Eric and Tori next.
