To make matters worse Ava learns Blaez not only wants to use her to wipe out her lover's race but that he has a mysterious connection to a dangerous vampire, named Jasper.

Aside from being an outlet for my creativity, being an author gives me the flexibility to be the mother and wife my family deserves.
I love to read paranormal romances as much as I love to write them. Paranormal romances are my favorites, but I'm into all kinds of books.In fact when I'm not writing (or carpooling and such) I will normally have a nice cup of coffee and my head buried in a book.

Willow Falls I think will never be a quite letting town. So much happening right under the towns
peoples noses. A King of the Vampires and some wolf shifters, and Ava will have to make some very important choices and make them fast.
A old sayin comes to mind “Am I my brothers keeper? Caleb's brother has lost all trace of intelligence. Blaze is angry, violent and power hungry. Caleb will need to keep his wits about him if he plans on keep control of his pack.
I actually liked this book a but better than the first, as the characters grow into themselves you can see
the difference in the main two. At 60 pages this is a short but, the interaction. I still adored the story line and how the characters just seemed to flow well with the story. The concept was again pretty awesome, unfortunately let it has a cliffhanger... and I don't have book 3 yet.
Blaze fights to get something that doesn't even belong to him. Caleb has imprinted Ava and doesn't know a whole lot about her, hence the whole. All Caleb knows is that Ava is his. Ava will find out that she isn't human but Oracle which is something she just found out and knows nothing about it. There are a few hot scenes I'm sure you will enjoy..I did. Thank you Ms Thomas for a very good story, Ill look forward to reading more from you.

Time is running out and Ava needs to learn to use her powers, Caleb’s brother not only has an evil plot of his own he’s also got a connection to the vampire king, Jasper in this thrilling installment of The Marked One serial romance.
There is never a dull moment is this fast paced and smooth flowing story full of action, suspense and passion. When Ava is captured she learns some Caleb’s nefarious plans which don’t look good for Caleb, his pack, the town of Willow Falls and definitely not for Ava. The reader can’t help but get caught up in all the suspense as the well written scenes and details capture the imagination and the strong compelling characters ensure that the readers want to know every last detail. The reader can practically feel the turmoil that flows from the characters as they realize just what is coming for them and Ava tries desperately to learn everything she can to protect them. As with the first story, I was completely caught up in this one and as it leaves us with a major cliffhanger, I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Okay, book two picks up right where book one left off. I loved that! The author did not waste any time in diving into book two. In this book you get to see more of the characters and their relationships. Caleb shows more of his alpha side which I found attractive! He is dominate and wants to protect what is his. I also loved seeing more of the badass side of Lil! She is strong and stands right by her brother. Ava, learns that she needs to accept who she is and she needs a crash course in learning about her powers and spells. I really enjoyed seeing the relationships between the mothers and daughters. You don't see these types of relationships in paranormal books to often. So, I am really looking forward to seeing these relationships develop. We also get a glimpse of Blaez's past. I almost feel bad for him...almost. Oh, and did I mention the steamy scene between Caleb and Ava?! Looking forward to read book three.

Ava Bertrand has just found out that she is a very powerful prophesied witch with supernatural factions gunning for her, wanting her abilities. Ava is diligently learning her craft while trying to protect herself and those around her from imminent evil forces that want to change the balance of the supernatural beings. Romantic relationships and friendships are put to the test as Willow Falls becomes the focal point of a vengeful werewolf and the ancient vampire whose history with Ava’s mother threatens the whole town. If you like witches, werewolves, and vampires with romance and action, then you will enjoy the sequel to Imprinted by the Alpha. I gave this 5 out 5 stars as this was the perfect continuance from book one. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series.

This was just as good as the first one and I enjoyed reading it very much. It has action, paranormal, and even magic. I would recommend this book to anyone to read. Once I started reading I couldn't put the book down until I finished and now I can't wait to read the next book in the series! I think it was wonderfully written. Blaez has kidnapped Ava and so now Caleb and his sister Lil and his pack plus Sarah (Ava's mom) have to go to rescue her. Caleb needs to take into consideration that Blaez is a powerful enemy and not turn his back on him. Ava has a very short time to learn all the magic she can learn before the king vampire Jasper finds her and brings his dead queen back from the dead.

This is book #2 in The Marked One series. This series must be read in order.
Ava has been captured by Blaez. Her blood is being used to take the wolf away from the werewolves. Caleb and his pack must rescue her. Before the rescue samples of her blood is taken. Now the pack must get it back and destroy all of it before it can be used against them.
This is a good story, the only reason it didn't get 5 stars is it's too short. I find myself getting annoyed only having the story in short bursts.

I got this and read it in one night.. The story continues with Ava and Caleb. In this book Ava is learning her power(s) in order to stop evil. not giving spoilers you need to read this to get the full effect.. Jocelyn has a different style to write and make you feel like your a part of the story and feel what they're feeling.. Cant wait for book three, I'm thirsty to see what is going to happen and see Ava grow as the story continues. so thank you Jocelyn for creating this story line..

Its easy to read and our author joy gets into the heart of the matter..This book is so worth the read. now onto number 3 cant wait yahoo...

Book 2 & 3 could have been combined to make 1 full length book. The initial book was great in regards to length and storyline... Now it seems to be drawn out. Are the next 2 books also going to be less than 90 pages and be the same cost. If so not worth my time or money... Disappointed

This book was a waste of time and of .99. If I could get a refund, I definitely would. I'm not even going to waste my time in writing a review for this book because I loath it so much.
