I am giving this review for author Heather Hildenbrand and Mark My Words. This is book 1 of the 4 book series by the author.Tara Godfrey is a typical school girl until she learns that her goosebumps that she gets is a warning sign that something is close by. Wesley St. John knows all about the conflict between the hunters and the werewolves but after coming up on Tara and her situation their life changes for the both of them.I was really impressed with how the story had me in the first chapter and I had a hard time putting it down. The characters work well together in the book and there was no drag or dead ends in the flow of the story.This is a must read for any paranormal romance book lover and the start to a book series you will want in your library. Witty and smart Tara is a wonderful character. She was immediately my favorite and I was hoping that she lived to find out what she was. At the beginning she was stubborn and at every turn almost getting herself killed. As the story continues you can see her coming to terms with what she is and what is expected of her. The Hunter in her comes out little by little and I grew to look forward to seeing the aggressive side of her. Her other side, the romantic side, had me worried. She had fallen for a boy/werewolf who didn’t seem to return her feelings. Her feelings were portrayed as a teenager, which is what she is, and were over board at times, childish at other times, and other times very adult like and understanding. I enjoyed the romance and hoped that it would be a happy pairing.Wes is yummy. His only job is to keep Tara safe and he throws himself into this 100%. He is protective and strong with a soft side. He would die to keep her from harm. The connection between them was electric and felt almost immediately. Although, he was so stubborn that he didn’t want to give in to those feelings and fought them throughout almost the entire story. The struggle within himself was fun to watch but I was really hoping he would show her how much she meant to him and quickly. The plot was fast and fun. Once I started reading I did not want to put it down. I am thrilled that the book is set up to have follow ups. I highly recommend Heather Hildenbrand and Dirty Blood.
