ENCHANTED INK

by Robin Lynn

SUMMARY:

When it comes to transformation, magic only fixes what's skin deep…

In a world where an artist's magic brings tattoos to life, ink gone wrong can spell lasting heartache for those unlucky enough to experience it. Jaded and cynical on both life and love, tattoo artist Ashton Andrews is about to find out that even the most deeply-etched scars can be transformed into something beautiful when the right person is holding the pen.

Having carried the burden of intentionally-ruined ink on his skin (and the matching scars on his psyche that come with such betrayal), Ashton is understandably reluctant to trust. He’s entirely content to bury his nose in the fantasy worlds created by his favorite author, rather than risk his heart in the real one.

…On the other hand, he would like his tattoo fixed.

Enter Link Remington: magical tattoo artist extraordinaire, devastatingly handsome media darling, and co-owner of the famed tattoo studio, Soul Survivor. Ashton knows that Link has the artistic chops to repair his skin, but is completely unprepared for the charming, persistent, and impossibly understanding man to find a place inside his heart.

Through working together, Ashton begins to realize that there’s more to Link than his public persona, the art on his body, and the image he’s created that only goes skin-deep. Link has his own scars to heal, but with a charm or two, a dash of creativity, and equal leaps of faith, perhaps the enchanted ink the two of them create together will be the beginning of something positively magical.

Review:

Let's start with the good parts!

I think the book was well written, the pace of the story was good and it kept you interested, it makes for a fast read (I think once I finally got around to it, I read it in two sittings), the concept and plot are very cool ideas, magical tattoos are such a cool concept and the author did a great job describing the enchantments and how they worked through the book. The book follows a very interesting journey of self discovery and acceptance that didn't felt too heavy but it still had you cheering on the main characters.

I, personally, however couldn't get too much into it in the sense of reading it like original fiction since it was very clearly a Destiel Fanfiction turned into an original book, or at least they tried to, since there was a lot of back story, lines, and settings that came straight from the show, and as a person who has spend over 15 year of her life watching and loving that show, it just kept taking me out; and around chapter 2 I just accepted i was reading a fanfic and kept going with that mindset.

If you're someone who knows nothing about Supernatural and you like the themes of the book you're probably going to enjoy it a lot! If you're a fan like me, it's probably going to be a lot harder to see it as a standalone work, because it's very very obviously not.

The streets are not for me. I belong in an enchanted forest, eating berries and talking to my animal friends.

And for the next long years of my life, I tried to remember only the reading, not the terrible things that happened to me as I came and went up and down the stairs. The library became my sanctuary. I loved the ways the precious stories took shape but always had room to be read again. I became fascinated with how writers did that. How did they make a story feel so complete and yet to open-ended? It was like painting a picture that changed each time you looked at it.

They said love was in the  eyes, that it was mesmerising.

Beware...or you would always stare.

You were looking at me and I, everywhere but.

Flight

We can't fly, But we can both close our eyes And hold hands When it storms, and We can Face it In Imagination.
