A Mark on My Soul

A Noahverse Story, Book 1

By: Jordon Greene

Narrated by: Mark Sanderlin

Noah Andrews has a secret.

It's not that he's a bit of a nerd or likes to cosplay. It's not his taste in books. Techno-thrillers are cool, right? It's not that he's a gamer, or even how obsessed he is with movie and book quotes. No. His big secret, the one that keeps Noah up at night, is that he's gay.

When that tightly sealed away part of him finally comes to a boil and he can't keep his secret any longer, Noah takes a chance and lets everyone in on his secret. All he wants is to be free of its burden and able to live his life as his true self. What he doesn't expect is an anonymous message from a boy claiming to be from his school saying they like him. Someone who signs their emails as Altair, and like Noah had been, isn't ready to come out.

After weeks of exchanging emails Noah and his anonymous crush plan their first date. It's nothing fancy, but when Noah see's the boy behind the emails it doesn't matter. He can't believe his eyes. It seems like nothing in the world could take away his smile after that evening, but months later a single phone call proves otherwise…

Sad amazing story

This story will probably make you cry but it’s an amazing story nonetheless. The characters are well written

So good

It’s not a slow burn (thank god) it’s sweet but also get ready to get attached and love these characters then feel their sadness at the end because it gets supper deep

Loved it

This was an amazing book about a boy coming out to his friends and family about being gay it’s a really well told story and nicely detailed.

Devasting...

A great story. It will make you feel all sorts of emotions and leave you breathless in the end.

Tragic

This was a tragic story of two teens coming out and falling in love. I loved the premise but Noah's character kind of ruined it for me. I know he is a teenager but for a 19-year-old, I found him kind of annoying, especially towards the end, like he knew what Parker was kind of experiencing but still was too focused on himself which took me out of the story a few times. The narrator Mark Sanderlin did a fantastic job tho bringing these characters to life.
