Review of Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr
by Terry Spear
In Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr, Leslie has a horribly dysfunctional family--an alcoholic gambler for a father, a drug abuser for a brother who sells her to his drugged-up friends, and a runaway mom. She’s desperate to have normalcy in her life and drawn to a shop to get a tattoo. Not any tattoo, but one that will bind her to the Dark King of the fey. An intriguing tale of courtly angst and the concept that we all make choices, right or wrong, the story is full of twists and turns, forbidden desire, and lots of conflict that kept me reading until the end, and wanting more!

MacKayla Lane used to be a pretty southern belle with happy thoughts of the husband and family she would one day have filling her head. Now she is a woman changed. Haunted by the death of her sister, Mac has changed her life of pretty in pink to punk rock so that she can avenge her sister’s death. Oh and did I mention she can see Fae? After coming to Ireland to find her sister’s killer, Mac has learned that her entire life is a lie and that she is blessed (or cursed) with strange abilities. No one is her friend, and she has many enemies, but she is determined to succeed. This is a dark, brooding book that takes the stories of the Fae and casts them in an eery modern light. Mac is a lovable character whose whole life has been turned upside down in a short period of time. I look forward to seeing what Moning cooks up next for our feisty heroine.

Don't hold me back, I'm on a roll! Last night I finished Book Two. Spiderwick Chronicles: The Seeing Stone. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Field Guide" as it was a nice place to start, but book two really got the old adrenaline pumping. Getting better acquainted with the Grace Children, and getting nose to toes with the goblins was quite an adventure. I'm not quite sure what to think of Hogsqueal, but I don't think we've seen the last of him.
After finishing books one and two I've still got two thumbs up and am holding back hitting book three as I need to pace myself. And don't think that because I am a grownup that I don't appreciate the important things in life. After finishing "The Seeing Stone" I immediately went online to hit the Spiderwick site. I am now a proud member of the International Sprite League. Some things are just too important to ignore!
