It turns out that saving the day comes at a cost. In this case, my home in Wildrun. Oh, and my freedom.

Keirn called in a few favours with his friend, Fein. In return for a new life and some help hiding the fact that I’m an ink magician, we belong to the elf that runs half of Prague. Some rumours say he runs half the continent.

There’s an art thief in town, and Fein’s decided it’s my job to find and stop them. I didn’t dare point out that I’m a tattoo magician, not a detective.

The real problem is, I’m terrified that this is a slippery slope, and I don’t like where it’s going.

Great Addition to Series

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

Rating: 4 stars
This book is definitely not a standalone. Even though I had read the first book, I was still a bit lost in the beginning since it was so long ago. That being said, I really enjoyed this world that the author created despite having to play catch up in the beginning. It’s a big departure from the light romances that I usually read, and I thought it a really good change of pace. Dacian is definitely not perfect as the MC. It is his voice that provides the basis for the story and we get to see his inner workings warts and all. Keirn I absolutely loved along with all of the assorted critters. I also liked the introduction of all the new characters.

Overall, I enjoyed this story start to finish. While it didn’t end in a cliffhanger, this story’s ending was definitely open ended. I find that I am looking forward to the next one in the series and I don’t plan to wait so long to read it this time.

This was an extraordinarily good book. I really liked the first book, but the time I was able to understand all of the fantasy terms and creatures, it had ended. I was on another level with this book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. There is new characters in the story that you quickly get attached too. More mysteries surround them as Fien becomes a stronger character in this book as Dacian and Keirn become even more bonded as Isa breaks it off with Dacian. Art is being stolen and Fein, who now is owed favors for him rescuing Dacian from being discovered as a Ink Magician is sending Dacian to find the perpetrators. The Ink Net is causing him grief and his own mouth and behavior gets him in constant trouble. Keirn and Dacian continue to cover each other's backs as does their friends. There is sex in the story, but implied rather than graphic and that made the book even better as the author didn't use sex as a filler for making the story longer, it just contained excellent content. Would recommend this story for anyoone to read, but read the first one in the series before you tackle this one. It's not a book I would consider a standalone.

Amazing, but not as good as the first.

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017

I finished the first book and looked for this one, but had to wait a couple days for its release. I wanted to know how the cliffhanger ended. I've absolutely fallen in love with these characters, especially Dacian, Vyx and Kyra the cat. In this book, the second in the series, we meet a lot more allies and many more mystical creatures, and we get an in depth look at magical communities and businesses. It's got a more serious tone, if you will. I will say, though, that Blood & Ink suffers the typical "sophomore slump" where it's good but doesn't live of to the fanaticism of the first book. I enjoyed my read, I finished the whole thing in a week, and I'm anxiously looking forward to the next book yet it was missing that little extra spark. Still worth the price of a read!

Blood & Ink

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017

Dacian, a tattoo magician, ran for his life from his home in Wildrun. His loyal friends Keirn and Vyx drop everything and relocate with him. Unfortunately we don't know if the threat back home will find him. But life moves on in Prague. Fein, a questionable predatory elf, a guy with a hand in every pie, and friend to Keirn, stepped up to help provide them with contacts, jobs, and a home. The kicker is sharing their penthouse with two bounty hunters, panther shifters Shadow and Luca.

So their living arrangements have improved but also gotten more crowded. It seems everyone and their tattoo pets are always in each others business. Dacian is on edge, doesn't seem to be meditating like he had, too much change, and stress over who he is and what he's becoming. His life has gotten more complicated and uncertain.

This story reads as a middle book and it'd be easy to get lost if you didn't read the first one, 'Stolen Ink'. The core group around Dacian gets stronger, a few more new faces, and relationships are either broken or solidified. Throughout it all Dacian is in coping mode. He hasn't mastered his ability, fights to understand it, to come out ahead, and between what his new boss Fein wants and his evolving ability, Dacian struggles. His life is not his own and life continues on, one crisis to the next with little down time. He's using his gift more and resulting weakness then trying to 'unwind' and clear his mind by sparing with Shadow and Luca. Beaten up, broken ribs and all. . . .The guy just can't get a break.

With everything going on, I doubt Dacian realizes how deep his relationship is with Keirn. To go together back home and meet family. To participate and support Keirn in one of the hardest tasks of his life. And the odd thing is they didn't really discuss it, not even when they were home. You'd think there'd be one nighttime scene with tears and sharing but no. And the same thing goes for Dacian in his 'broken' heart and sharing and moving on. He does it all internally and of course that didn't work well for him. By the way, there are light hearted moments but the only one that came off for me was sharing the drunken shouted confessions. Nothing like airing your grievances! - Dan's Wife

Just wanted to add: Rooves. Yeah, not a word!

A Truly Magical Mystery Solving Story!

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Wow... that was one amazing ride. The author awesome at not only writing great action, with an incredible magic system, but does all that while still writing an incredible story about the people's lives, loves and other issues. I was kinda pissed when at the beginning of this book both Dacian and Keirn's lives got totally screwed up and I didn't think it was fair. However over the course of the book she crafted a much larger picture and filled in so much more that the puzzle pieces all started to fit perfectly. She is also very talented in writing the whole solving the mystery side of the story as well.
Once again I just have to say that her talent is just awesome and reading her books is a joy. I am really looking forward to book three and finding out where Dacian and Keirn's live go next. Plus I can't wait to see what cool new magic stuff will happen as well. Dacian has grown so far from just the simple tattoo magician he claimed to be in book one and that it both good and bad for him.

Great but too short!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Love these books, great storyline, likeable characters, my only criticism and the reason I've given it 4 not 5 stars is that they're way too short!! Only 220 pages, and I've just bought the third one and it's more expensive and even shorter at 155 pages!!

Cynical, well-written characters and a unique magic system

Reviewed in Canada on April 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

Dacian Corbeaux and his tattoo partner Keirn have fled to Prague, and are living embedded on the edge of the Magical Quarter, under the protection of a powerful wood elf named Fein. However, rumours of an ink magician in the city are spreading despite all the protection the elf can give, and Dacian's relationship with the ink is still uncertain - too uncertain to allow him to interpret the message it's trying to give him so urgently that he can hardly focus on the work he does to earn his protection. Between that and personal crises in his household, the situation in Prague is precarious.

Blood and Ink is a strong sequel to Stolen Ink, with a strong focus on Dacian and Keirn and a completely new setting. The book would stand alone, but reading the first one provides more context to the backstory, and the world-building is more than rich enough to merit reading both. The skilled pacing and story-telling that shone in the first book are still present in the second, although I did feel that the characters' personal lives detracted some of the focus from the main plot. It's hard to get too worried about this, however, as the characters are one of the key strengths of the series - cynical, well-developed, and part of a truly unique magic system. I would recommend this book - and the series - to any readers of urban fantasy looking for something new.
