Sins of Our Ancestors Series (Marked, Suppressed, and Redeemed)

By: Bridget E. Baker

Narrated by: Devon Sorvari

Marked: All Ruby Behl wants for her seventeenth birthday is a good career path match, and to kiss her best friend and long time crush, Wesley Fairchild. Unfortunately, the simplicity of teenage wishes evaporated a decade ago when the Tercera virus nearly wiped out the human race. Transmitted through touch, the slightest contact is prohibited in Port Gibson. An innocent game of Spin the Bottle provides the opportunity Ruby's been waiting for, but when Wesley winds up Marked, Ruby realizes her first kiss may also be her last.

Suppressed: The last few weeks sent Ruby Behl's world into even more of a tailspin than when the Tercera virus first broke out. Her boyfriend might be dead, her best friend isn't dead, and the man she knew as her father may have kidnapped her at birth. Worse, the virus suppressant suddenly stopped working, accelerating the deaths of thousands. Finding a cure just went from important to critical.

Redeemed: When a vicious attack accelerates the virus, Ruby and her friends have less than a week to find the cure, prevent the Cleanse, and rescue her aunt from execution. Ruby is convinced her father's old partner stole the antidote, but she has no clue to his identity. Torn between saving her family or hundreds of thousands of Marked, she must figure out who he is and find him before time runs out-for everyone.

A história é interessante, na minha opinião tem um pouco de suspense o que deixa vontade de continuar a ler/ouvir.

A Ruby era bastante interessante,até se tornar excessivamente indecisa na sua escolha e por vezes parecer que deseja a morte de outro.

Captivating

I could not stop listening and wanting to know what would happen next! I can’t wait to see if there are more books by this author.

Great dystopian series

This was the third book in the dystopian series. It had a great conclusion. However, I think I would have liked to see an additional book to really explore what the assimilation was like after the crises of the virus was over. I loved Sam and Wesley. While we knew fairly early in book one that Ruby’s feelings were shifting it is always a bit hard to see one person whose heart is a bit broken. I really do love this authors stories. She is a good writer. The narrator also did an excellent job.

I love being able to listen with the kids around

It was a great book. The narrator did a good job. I look forward to reading more by then both!

I've never hated a main character more

In most books you get a feeling from the beginning about how you feel towards the characters. This book started out with you feeling empathy for a naive teenage girl and look forward to seeing how she finds a way to shine through adversity. Unfortunately, as the series continues, she doesn't grow and has a lot of annoying self loathing to work through. This would be fine if you could see her working towards growth in the first book but nope, she continues to teeter between feeling of guilt and self pity which rule her every decision. This continues into book two where I honestly had to stop because it's truly exhausting waiting for the slightest bit of change to no avail. I have never before wished a supporting character could take the place of a main character so badly. The supporting characters are well written. They show great development and are truly lovable which is the only reason I gave this 3 stars instead of 1.
