Book Review- Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr

Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2) Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr

I don't know what took me so long to read this book after finishing Wicked Lovely so long ago. I was a little lost at the beginning, having forgotten a bit about the characters from the first book, but was soon pulled back into Melissa Marr's wonderfully imagined world filled with faeries that walk amongst humans unseen. This book focuses on characters that had smaller roles in Wicked Lovely, Leslie- Aislinn's mortal friend and Niall, Keenan, the king of the Summer Court's adviser.

Leslie is trying to escape the pain and fear she feels at home by getting a tattoo that she hopes will help her change, become stronger. Unfortunately, she gets more than she bargained for when she chooses the mark of the king of the Dark Court.

One of the things I love about these books are the descriptions of the different fey. I would love to see them made into movies or TV show. Okay, now I really want to read Fragile Eternity. Anyone know when it comes out in paperback?

4/5

Wicked Lovely- Book Review

Wicked Lovely Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr


Aislinn has always had an ability to see the fairies that live amongst them. Most mortals are blind to them. To stay safe, she follows the rules that her Grams has set for her since she was little; 1. Don't stare at invisible fairies. 2. Don't speak to invisible fairies. 3. Don't ever attract their attention. But somehow, she fails at #3. Two fairies have begun to follow her. With help from her friend Seth, she discovers why they are so interested in her and learns the truth about who she is and will become.

The relationship between Aislinn and Seth is very sweet and I love the strength she shows in making decisions to keep everything that is dear to her safe. I really enjoyed this book. I managed to read it very quickly in one day. A fun and entertaining story. I need to go and get the next book now.

4/5
