Demon's Mark by Nora Ash (Complete Series Books 1-6)

This is a review of the Demon's Mark Series by Nora Ash. This is a serialized novel where each segment picks up where the previous one left off.  This is a very dark romance that has some pretty brutal scenes and some scenes that are basically rape. It is rich with demons. I don't normally read books this dark but I like Nora Ash so I figured i would give it a try.

You can purchase the books as one book or buy each installment individually on Amazon. If you are a Kindle Unlimited member you can read the series for free. You will need to read these in order. The reading order is as follows:
1-Branded
2-Tricked
3-Hunted
4-Captured
5-Claimed
6-Cherished

We meet a young woman named Selma that can see demons. Selma ends up in a mental facility after stopping a brutal attack on a young woman. She finds out she is she has been marked as a breeder for a demon lord so that she can have his children. Apparently certain women are capable of breeding with demons and only the pure breeders are capable of being with a demon lord. She finds out she is one of these pure breeders and will be sent to an auction to be auctioned off to the highest bidder out of the demon lords. She doesn't want this. She manages to escape from the procurer for the breeder who is posing as a psychiatrist at the mental hospital. She tricked him into believing that she wanted to be with him. She goes on the run hiding from the demon. Selma has been marked by the procurer with a brand and any demon that touches it will ignite a sexual frenzy in her that won't abate until she has sex.

Selma gets captured by female demons who want to torture and kill her to keep her from breeding with a male demon lord because the male and female demons are at war with each other.  She is also being hunted by the demon she ran from because he wants her for himself and vows to have her.  Selma is saved from the female demons by a demon lord named Kain. Kain doesn't want a relationship with a breeder. He knows the location of a sanctuary for breeders who don't want to be breeders. He tries to take Selma there but she is captured and taken to be prepared for an auction to be given to a demon lord. They keep her in a sexual frenzy for days until they decide that she is ready for auction. Meanwhile Kain has decided he wants Selma for himself so he goes to the auction. He wins the auction and he violently takes Selma in front of the other demons as is the demon custom.

Kain decides to take Selma to the sanctuary after all but Selma doesn't want to go anymore because she loves Kain but Kain doesn't know that. He thinks he's doing her a favor by letting her go. Kain is in love with Selma but doesn't admit to it and proceeds to take her to the sanctuary. However, Selma is expelled from the sanctuary before she can enter it because she finds out she is pregnant with Kain's demon child. Kain ends up getting kidnapped by the evil demon queen who want to use him for breeding. He refuses and is beaten and chained. Meanwhile Selma is ambushed by the procurer and she manages to kill him because of a new power that she discovers. She flees to Kain's family. Kain's brother, father, and Selma engineer a plan to rescue Kain. They manage to rescue him and Selma kills the demon queen.

Kain realizes that he will have to become a ruler of the demons because their is a demon prince that almost won Selma at the auction and he wants her for himself and plans on killing Kain to get her. A battle ensues between Kain and the demon prince and Kain kills him and he becomes a demon king with Selma as his queen.

My recommendation: This is a very dark romance with lots of violence and brutal sex bordering on rape so avoid it if those offend you. Otherwise it is worth a read.
