The Marked Earth: The Cursed Key Trilogy Book 3 brings us an action-packed, suspenseful ending to the Cursed Key saga. Hamilton and Brock take us to exotic places full of shifters, witches, and fae, and through harrowing experiences that build dramatically from book to book. Kael and Olivia grow in their bond, and in The Marked Earth come to realize that they are one another's destiny. This book builds to a very suspenseful and dramatic battle between Olivia and her allies and the dark mage and his minions. There is a brutal betrayal that makes life even more challenging for Oliva and Kael as they try to solve the mystery of how to rid the world of the dark mage and the curse that has Olivia's soul. She finds out many more things about her past life and comes to understand the level of sacrifices required to save the world. As an underscore, the Cursed Key Trilogy deals with social issues, such as bigotry. It does so in a way that makes it clear that what divides also divides our humanity and makes it easier for those things in the world that will destroy us to do so.

Four keys, an ancient power, and a devastating supernatural battle. The dark mage bent on enveloping the world in shadow and death is a breath away from having everything he needs, and the only person who can stop him doesn't have the power to do so. Olivia and her steadfast partner are hot on Vehrin's trail, but time is not on their side. Raging storms and bouts of violence have erupted in the mage's wake, and every turn Olivia takes throws her farther into danger. Through the underbelly of New Orleans to hidden holy temples, each step brings her closer to stopping Vehrin and to finding out the truth of her curse.... As pieces of Olivia's past begin to reveal a fate she isn't prepared to accept, a war comes to a head in a long-forgotten mountain city. A swath of betrayals, corruption, and loss bring earth's supernatural together for one final battle, but to bring an end to Vehrin's destruction, will Olivia be forced to succumb to eternal damnation? This is a brilliant read. Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start. Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable. Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story. Can't wait to read what these two bring out next!!! Recommend reading.

The Marked Earth is book 3 of the Cursed Key Trilogy. Loved it, it's action packed, twists i didn't see coming - shifters, mages, fae and other paranormals. Definitely recommend reading this series from the start if you love urban fantasy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
