Scarred
Summary: Julia was trained to believe that, in a world that involved the Shifters and their never ending crusade to dominate the world and the human race, hope didn't exist. At least, not for her kind anyway. Ones born with the Mark were nothing but born assassins-the genetic ability to give everything up in battle running through her veins. At seventeen, she'd seen more death and destruction in the hands of the bloodthristy monsters than she'd like to remember, and given up more than anyone could ever imagine. She was the last of the Marked, and the fate of the world rested in her hands.
Up until now, that is.
Now, a second of her kind was found-meaning twice the adventure, twice the danger, and twice the chance of an angry hoard of Shifters coming and killing them before they can save the world.
What's worse-they may be the only ones left, and time's running out. The hunt will lead them into places they've never known, things they've never seen, and twists they've never expected.

Oh, thank you! I really appreciate your compliments, although I think you have writing talent too--probably in areas that I am lacking.

Wow, this is really great! I love the whole atmosphere of the story. It's very cold and unforgiving, but it's amazing! Awesome job! It's easily better written than a lot of the books I've read :)

I love this! I didn't think it would be this good- and now that I look back at the title, it fits well. This deserves- deserves- to be a book, a published one. I love it, all of it. Go and get it published.

This is absolutely awesome! Well-written. :D I enjoyed reading this. You have a lot of writing talent, and you should definitely continue with the story.

I didn't catch any errors. Maybe because I was so caught up with the story, LOL.

Never stop writing!

This was great-I found it very thought-provoking. I like the genre, the fact that it is not clique makes this story very interesting. Keep up the good work!

interesting and very gripping, but i think that in some places you lose your voice to one that sounds almost awkward, like you're juggling informative/descriptive and keeping it cool and flowing. i really liked the beginning and i like your style, even though this isn't my favorite genre! keep writing!

I completely understand your opinion--this is only a first draft and completely stream-of-conscious writing. I appreciate the honest opinion.

I love that you've broken the fantasy mold, which is something so many authors fail to do! You've really got something here that will draw the reader back for more!
