Marked by Power (The Marked Series Book 1)

I greatly enjoyed this book and adore these two authors! I really loved the characters and how they interacted with one another. I'm a sucker for twins so this did not disappoint. I like how there's a little jealousy as well, it makes a good story and it's REAL. I dislike how a lot of characters are totally okay with everything right off the bat. That's not convincing for me, but this had just the right amount of acceptance and jealousy between the guys and the MC. I can't wait for the second book, this was a good cliff hanger and kept me wanting to read more!

The writing lacked depth. Honestly I almost quit 2 chapters in. Every thought provoking response started the same and the use of the F bomb was so frequently played I was afraid our writers lacked access to a dictionary. Or worse yet...no imagination. However, the overall theme/plot were intriguing. I really want to know what that 12th mark means. I intend to read onto number 2 in the series. That's why I'm torn. Usually if a story lacks color and flavor in their characters I don't continue. This however had enough "new" to keep me curious.

I liked how the story was developing, kept me curious to find out what would happen next. It may be the book slump I’m in, but this story didn’t keep me enthralled. I’d still read this series because I’m curious to know what happens next.

I knew this book would be fantastic with CeCe and Gem teaming up and they did not disappoint me. The world building was great and I liked that it just kind of dropped you in the story right away and things were explained along the way. It definitely kept my attention. I loved Kenzie. She is sassy and strong but also gets herself into several embarrassing situations. I really liked Kenzie's boys too. They are all completely swoon worthy and I have a hard time picking my favorite. I am dying to see where the story and these relationships go in the next book.

Woah! This book was freaking awesome. I love that two of my favorite authors joined up and wrote a knock out book together! Freaking loved it!

Mackenzie is a sassy, always late, funny teen who is so relatable (minus the marks and cool powers) that I was able to really enjoy this book. I found it funny as Hell but also, when it got serious, I felt my stomach cramp and drop, needing to know if it would all turn out well.

The boys are...well, boys. I love them all and I need more marked boys in my life! I can't wait until the next book!

Overall good story and nice world building, but let down by an annoying, flighty, passive, hormone-ridden heroine. Even after being stabbed during an obvious attempt on her life, the idiot cannot manage to take her studies seriously or focus/concentrate on anything - except of course for the hot abs/eyes/hair/butts of every guy around her.

I also had a hard time believing that she would be safer somehow off in a remote cabin in the woods that she traipses to and from alone than in the dorm with everyone else. That’s really rather silly...

Oh my what can I say?! I literally loved McKenzie! And the guys?! WOW!! Mr Daniels?! I’ve gotta say I want me some Mr Daniels! But damn that cliffhanger hurt! I cannot wait for the second! I’ve fallen in love with this series and we’re only on the first book!
Both Gem and Cece are two of my favourite authors, so them writing a book together is literally like my dream!! If you haven’t read any of their other books, I’d highly recommend them both as authors.
Thank you both for sharing your awesome talent with us as readers!

This book was amazing. The magical world they live in is nothing like I have read before. I loved that two of my favorite authors teamed up and made an amazing book. Mackenzie is a seventeen year old that wants to follow her plans to live with humans. This changes when she is marked with all twelve powers. Mackenzie is a sassy teen and I love her. We meet the guys throughout the story and watch as the romance unfolds. Mr. Daniels is my favorite. This book ends on a big cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next book.

Rose and Bailey created a storyline so seamless it seems like one great author was responsible.

It is both a coming of age story and a mystery with a thickening plot. The reverse harem plot in the background promises to build up to be very steamy.

I am enjoying the heroines honesty and discovery of her abilities and her growing confidence to act on her crushes.

I hope this collaboration continues and the next installment comes quickly as both writers have multiple projects going... to my delight!

Marked by power is a glorious collaboration by G. Bailey and Cece Rose! Everything is running pretty smoothly at the school, until Kenzie comes stumbling in, full of sass, power, and of course, clumsiness. Definitely a handful for the men in her life! Just how I like my female main characters. It's a wonderfully written book, with lovable characters all around. Of course, it wouldn't be a Rose & Bailey book without a delightfully twisty ending! I'm ready for book two, ladies!!

I definitely read this story all the way through. Cave Rose has created such a vastly new type of magic world that is full of entertainment and has you actually trying to look around at things and listening as you read. These are the type of books I love. It could fall under young adult, fantasy, paranormal romance, and reverse harem. You will have to read the second book though to get a conclude to this one and the waiting is the worst part for me. It is worth reading though.

So I started this book right before bed thinking I would get a little reading in before bed, however I was not prepared for the fact that it was so good I didn't get a wink of sleep!! Kenzie's character is so well written and realistic and all the guys are as well! I can't wait for book 2!!!

I’m so grateful these two amazing authors wrote this book! Don’t skip this amazingly intoxicating story! You’ll be taken to a world that’s different then you’ve read before, you’ll meet new supernaturals and where there not many women as men and it’s natural to have multiple dads. If you love paranormal and rh I definitely recommend you read this book. It will leave you addicted and anticipating the next book!!

This is my time reading Cece Rose. I absolutely will be reading every one of her titles I find from here on out. I love straight sci-fi, romance, and sassy, quirky leads. This serial promises a great mix. It was fun, love the guys and the budding relationships. Great premise for a cool world. I'm diving in and can't wait for the sequel. ?

Yes!!! I enjoyed this book so much!!! I was immediately hooked from the start!! I enjoyed the characters. Kenzie a strong female that needs no man, you best friend is literally bestie goals and the guy, yum, the guys are all hot and to add even more of a spice, one of them is a teacher!!

I loved this book, I loved the main character, and hot damn those guys set me on fire. Great reverse harem. I can't wait to see what the story behind the rebels is. THE NEXT BOOK DOESN'T COME OUT TILL FEBRUARY?!? How will I live after this cliff hanger????? ???? Hurry up 2018!

I enjoyed this book. I found the premise and the characters to be very interesting. I just wish the MC was a bit more thoughtful. She would constantly speak and act with no thought of the consequences. It's makes her seem very shallow and annoying.

A different twist to magic and myths. The story of a young girl coming into her magic, discovering family betrayal and new loves. It is interesting watching adversary vs adversary as they being unfolding the story. Recommended read that keeps you guessing.

I’m flabbergasted at the positive reviews. This was horrible. The initial premise was alright and the first chapter started okay, but then the entire tenor of the book changed, like a different author was writing it. (I’m assuming that’s exactly what happened.) Suddenly, everyone in the book is throwing around F bombs and acting completely different than the beginning. I highly recommend you do NOT get this book.

It was okay. Very little character development but the hardest thing to get my arms around is why the 5 guys liked Kenzie? She was awful, winey, disrespectful to her teachers, just unlikable....
That was the is of death for me

I have very mixed feelings about this book. Overall, the story line was creative and for the most part well written. What I don’t like is the need for authors to end with a cliffhanger. I know the theory behind it, the customer will then buy the next book. In my case, it works just the opposite.

I really liked this story and the characters were incredible. The guys were so different and I couldn't believe how hot the chemistry was. I was disappointed in Daniels but hopefully he will get his stuff together.

Liking this series. Diverse characters and some laughs added in. These 2 authors work well together to create an interesting “world”. Great find on Kindle unlimited. Looking forward to reading the next book.

Seriously this book is great! I love Kenzie and the guys ? I do think mr Daniels and Enzo are my favorite. The story of this book flows rally well and I feel that we get to know some of the characters well. I can not wait til February for the 2nd installment

The world, characters, and plots were good. However, the comma splices in this book were distracting. They were everywhere. It's like the authors have never heard of semicolons.

It ends in a cliffhanger that sent me looking for the second book, which is available for preorder. I don't know if I'll be able to wait until February. I also hope that they hire a proofer who likes semicolons.

Ahhhhhh!! Words can't describe how amazing this book was! I will warn you.. it's filled with Magic, hot guys, and a strong female main character. I will also warn that it ends with a cliff hanger but I'm eager to see what happens next! Great read!

Great story although I get confused with all the different marks and how Kenzie can use them. Kenzie definitely had a bad few weeks of school and it looks like it's not going to get better yet. The book did end in a surprising cliffhanger.

This book was so fantastic I read straight through the night! Today is going to be tuff with no sleep but dang it's worth it! Only downside is I thought the next book was already out and now I have to wait till February! ??

Great new series! The main character is not a whinny, hopeless girl. She sticks up for herself and doesn’t let the marks get to her head. I like all the men so far in her life and can’t wait to see how book two is going to play out.

I really enjoyed this book. Mackenzie and all of her boys were fun. I love both authors so I'm not surprised that I couldn't put this one down. Need the next book now because that cliffhanger is going to drive me nuts.

I just started reading G. Bailey and Cece Rose! And I love their books both together and apart!! This one was a great start to a new series and leaves you wanting more! Can’t wait to start book two:)

Excellent page turner!! Sucks you in to a crazy world of magic! Leaves you wanting soooo much more!!! I can normalll plot a book out this one keeps you guessing till the very last moment! The ending makes me scream!

It was funny and engaging but the girl was irritating with her scatter brain, lack of preparation, forgetfulness and general sloppiness. Not the sharpest cookie in the jar - doesn’t put two and two together.

What an amazing series. Love what Cece Rose and G. Bailey have done together.
This series is totally captivating and pulls the reader in making it hard to put the book down, then once its over, keeps the reader wanting more.
Reverse harem, the elements, and hot guys ... what more could a reader ask for. Why choose!!

This book kept me interested and engaged the entire time I was reading it. I loved all of the characters. They had me actually laughing out loud in parts. I highly recommend that you read this book.

Oh my goodness, I'm blown away!! Words cannot do this book justice. Amazing story, extremely well written - you HAVE to read this book!!!!! No seriously, stop reading reviews and get to reading...you can thank me later. ;)

I really enjoyed this book. Kenzie is smart, sassy, clumsy, and hilarious. Not only is she fated to be powerful with all twelve marks but now she has five men vying for her attention. I will warn you that it ends on a cliffhanger.

Holy awesome book! I️ loved the magic and school concept it was different and very cool! And holy hell Mr. Daniels yum! Him and East are my favorites so far. Damn that cliffhanger though. It’s a long wait until February.
