Marked For Life by Emelie Schepp

2.0

Usually this kind of crime thriller isn't my kind of book but I was hoping Marked For Life would still be interesting, unfortunately it wasn't really. I can appreciate it was well thought out but it just wasn't for me.

I enjoyed how the backstory of Jana was introduced slowly but it was still a little predictable. The crime story itself with the child trafficking and drug dealing was disturbing and also interesting. The criminals in this story also made me always second guess my trust with them which added a good element to the book. The other characters like the police officers though were quite boring to be honest as I wasn't interested in their lives. I found myself feeling distant from them all and not really caring what happened to them.

Overall it was cool to read a translated story but I didn't find Marked For Life anything special.
