The world we knew is GONE.
Ruby had barely started kindergarten when the world collapsed, but by now she's over it. Like, really over it. To celebrate their upcoming graduation, the teenagers in Port Gibson are gathering to play a forbidden game from Before, a game called spin the bottle.
Pretty much every girl in Port Gibson likes the same two guys, and Ruby knows them both. Wesley, the charismatic son of the town Mayor who's being groomed to step into his dad's job, and Sam, the ripped but terrifying second-in-command to the town's Security Chief. But only Wesley's graduating with Ruby, and if he shows up, she's determined to finally seize her chance to kiss her long time crush.
When things go sideways, endangering her dear Wesley's life, there's only one person Ruby can ask for help, no matter how scary and enigmatic he is: Samuel Roth. Can Ruby convince Sam to risk his life to save Wesley's? And can Ruby navigate the post-apocalyptic world in time to save her crush, or will the long forgotten past come back to claim its due?
Kirkus Reviews said of Marked, "Baker’s prose is sharp and vivid, and she manages to immediately plunge her readers into the world of the novel. The story is swiftly paced and features some surprising twists and intriguing characters. The combination of sci-fi, mystery, and teen romance makes for a compelling adventure.
A promising YA debut about a girl’s search for a future in the wreckage of the past."

Bridget Baker has a gift for storytelling. I hesitated to start reading a book a little off my regular genre, but was quickly caught up in the intrigue. It was a satisfying way to spend the evening with just enough twists and turns.
This has to be one of my favorite dystopian love stories. I loveee Sam nd Ruby. Her nd Westley were awful. The chemistry is nothing like Sam nd her. Nd Sam is so beautiful inside and outside nd out😩
4/5 for personal reviews but 5/5 for seller websites. i wasn’t sure about this book in the beginning. I usually don’t read YA or non-spicy NA, but was happy with how this book turned out. I found the middle a little dull and had to jump into one of my romantasy reads, but quickly looked forward to finishing this story. I have to say the ending was really very good. and after not being sure if i would continue the series, it made me excited to start book 2
This is definitely a new spin on the traditional dystopian genre. Although this is labeled as a dystopian romance, I don't think I would consider it a romance (although there is a bit). I would consider it more, maybe action? The storyline has a good plot that keeps you interested and reading to see what happens. Can't wait to start the next book to see what happens!
This is my first book by Bridget E. Baker. This book was a great read. It reminded me of a Breakfast club type of story. Young kids learning who they are an what they are capable of. Their strength as Individuals and as a whole. I would highly recommend and look forward to reading this authors next book.
