Melissa Marr
Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.
The tattoo does bring changes - not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils.

Critic reviews
"This dark fantasy about survival and transformation is as mesmerizing as its urban faery subjects." ( Booklist)
"Readers will be drawn in by Marr's darkly poetic imagery and language, her vivid portrayal of the art of tattooing, and her shadowy love triangle. This is indeed a delicious, smoky delight." ( Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
no I would not recommend it. The story was too slow for my taste and I lost track numbers of time because the narrators voice was so hypnotic, really :) Would be great on Relaxing tape.Has Ink Exchange turned you off from other books in this genre?

On to this actual book:
This one was OK. I really liked the concept of the magic at play, but I didn't like how it was framed. I didn't like the very sudden change of main cast and perspective without a whole lot of reasoning why. I didn't like following Leslie around as she makes stupid decision after stupid decision. I didn't like the way she portrayed her being "emotionless" because I don't feel it was particularly compelling. The whole book just felt both too slow and rushed at the same time - Irial is a huge jerk and yet she keeps going on about how much she loves him which I hate. Not a fan of how they say her pact was "her choice" yet they didn't explain jack about what would happen so very obviously it wasn't. Yes, I know these are faeries, but the main cast of faeries behaves remarkably like mortals and mortal values are pushed onto them at every turn by the author, so I felt sort of like "pick a lane" either have evil faeries who don't give a #$_& or have faeries that are basically just pretty magic humans.
Also, I think the personality change for Niall was extremely sudden and confusing. I get that Keenan betrayed him and sure he's angry, but by the next book he's basically just a Discount Irial™ with no real personality traits of his own, nothing interesting going on in his head, and everything I liked about him from the first book and beginning of this one (being respectful etc) is 100% erased in favor of his new smoking habit and Edgy Anger©. Maybe she turned him into a fake Irial on purpose to make a point, but she's taking her damn time making the point of there is one.
Finally, I felt it was weird how little Aislinn was in the book, and I felt we should've learned more about the dark court instead of just listening to them drone on and on about how Leslie and Irial are feeling and never getting to the point..
Not my favorite of the series.

I am not a fan of a male voice speaking for a female character. I’d rather the same speaker through out the series personally.
Not a fan of a males voice for this book

Also the story dragged in some places and for so long that I zoned out pretty often and would miss a lot of background info or beginning dialogue but the plot also didnt hold my interest as much as it could have.
it has potential, this story is nice for background noise while cleaning or driving.
Found myself zoning out
