![]() ![]() ![]() It went from ‘normal’, to odd, to annoying. But then I started to notice her dialogue and inner monologue shifting. She was strong-willed, a fighter, and altogether very funny and not easily broken. ![]() I loved Cole, I even liked Lexi at first-I thought she was going to be a very relatable, likable character at first. Cole, while very aware of what she is labeled and tried as, is her mentor-but he grows a soft spot for her. But what if her Branding is wrong? What does that mean for the Branding system? Once captured, she is supposed to be looked after by a soldier so she isn’t killed or harassed. ![]() People judge and chase ‘the branded’, taunting and hoping to gain from that person’s weakness. The beginning started out with the heroine, Lexi, being captured and ‘branded’ as an adulterer, or rather, as one of the seven deadly sins: lust. And while it started out well with a strong heroine and a sexy, protective hero, it soon started to show signs of all the things I hate in novels: cheesiness. All my friends loved it, it had great reviews and quotes, and it seemed like it had a strong synopsis. Out of all the ARCs I was given, I believed Branded was going to be the best. **ARC kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review** ![]()
