Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr
Apr. 29th, 2011 03:00 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Images cluttered the page, but one tattoo set her nerves on edge: inky-black eyes surrounded by wings like shadows coalescing.
Mine. The need was overpowering. Leslie looked up.
‘This one,’ she said. ‘I need this one.’
But the image is more than just tempting art, and it draws Leslie into a world of shadows and desire – into the world of Faerie.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Melissa Marr’s sequel to WICKED LOVELY is a dark story that ties in the story of a rape survivor trying to take control of her life with the efforts of a dark court of magic to survive. It’s a slow read and very much a character story, but it’s also powerfully told and I always believed in the main character of Leslie and her struggle to reclaim her body. Although it won’t be a story for everyone, I found it an interesting book in the series and will definitely be reading on.
