Book Description

February 7, 2012

From the New York Times bestselling author of Healer's Choice comes the story of a woman with the power of touch. Skin doesn't lie to her. It is her gift, sometimes her curse. She feels what others felt, and sees the things held in their memories...

With the touch of her palms to the skin of a crime victim, San Francisco tattoo artist Etaín can see the faces of the guilty and draw them. Changeling elf but unaware of it, at odds with her police captain father and FBI agent brother, magic and gift have put her in the path of two compelling men.

Cathal Dunne, the son of an Irish mob boss, needs Etaín's help finding the rapists who left his cousin for dead. Eamon, a powerful elf lord, is determined to make her his consort-wife.

Her gift once made permanence impossible when it came to a lover. Now, as she approaches the transition to fully Elven, her survival depends on keeping two. One of the men is willing to share her. The other isn't-until the search for a sexual predator turns deadly, and only by paying magic's price will there be any future at all.

Review

4 1/2 stars from RT Book Reviews "Overflowing with sensuality, an intriguing story and a great heroine, this is a book you won't be able to put down."

5.0 out of 5 stars I want more!!! February 7, 2012
By C.E.
Format:Kindle Edition
Inked Magic hooked me from page 1 and did not disappoint. Etaín is the kinda woman I wouldn't mind being: strong, sexy, independent, and not afraid to go after what she wants when she wants. There is something more about Etaín than what the reader is introduced to in Inked Magic. I am left wanting more. JS leaves the story open to a sequel. And I want to see what happens next for Eamon, Cathal and Etaín (and some of the other characters that we were introduced to as well).

Inked Magic was an awesome read. Becoming part of Etaín's tattooed world and the decadence of San Francisco, I felt ready to get a tattoo from Etaín and travel through Cathal's club and enjoy having dinner at Eamon's restaurant. And the mystery of the Harlequin Rapist prowling the streets had a satisfying conclusion. Meeting Etaín, Cathal and Eamon's friends/clients/etc. fleshed out the rest of story where interesting side stories could form (and hopefully will form).

This book was erotically delightful. And JS, if you're reading this, this fan wants more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inked Magic June 11, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is full of excitement, magic, discoveries, mystery, amazingly hot characters (including the females), was full of hot sex, was hard to let go of and left me wanting MORE! Jory, you now have a new fan :)

I'm big into ink. But even if I was not Inked Magic would of had my full attention. It's so very well written, the attention to detail is amazing and the story with it's touch of magic is gripping. I loved the heroin Etain. She is definitely my new favorite. She's strong, independent, sexy, talented, giving, magical, has an amazingly huge heart and knows what she wants.

Cathal and Eamon are two amazingly drool worthy specimens from completely different worlds and are both perfect for Etain. It's going to take time, sacrifices and patience. But I feel they are going to be a very successful trio.

Next book please :)

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Inked Magic by Jory Strong

I've liked a lot of Jory's books when she was publishing at Ellora's Cave so I thought that her works would translate fairly well over to the more mainstream publisher; that her work would have a bit more story to it. And while this book did have some more story it still focused more on the sex and in a very graphic manner with frank language.

The idea of Etain being with two such different men (a mafia Don's Son/nephew and and Elven Lord) was unique. I wish that they had tried to make it (their three way relationship) work a bit earlier in the book.

I am not sure if this is the start of a series and that is why so much of the underlying themes, character building and story movement were stunted. The ending left me scratching my head and wondering if some chapters were missing.

The story was very slow to build, never quite coming to a climax. There was so much repetition in dialogue, thoughts, conversations and inner-dialogue that nearly a quarter of the book could have been edited out to make for a tighter and more pleasant read. The idea of a serial killer used in this fashion along with a three-way relationship should have been more exciting, it is a fresh idea. However, it just didn't work. This book just wasn't sure whether or not it wanted to be an erotica with a bit of plot thrown in or a mystery/police procedural/urban fantasy with a ton of sex thrown in.
