Ink of Blood

(I received a free copy of this book from Fido Publishing, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).

(This review may contain spoilers).

I have to say, parts of this book made me think of the television show Charmed, though I think that’s only because episodes have been showing recently. The plot isn’t exactly the same, of course, but it’s like what I’ve said before with no plots being completely different. I really did enjoy reading this book.

This was a romance I could really get behind. There were enough details of the relationship between the characters before they started jumping into bed with each other to make the progression of the romance realistic.

I did like that the book wasn’t just about the romance. There was an interesting plot to it, too. I liked the use of the different types of creatures – and I was particularly fond of the elf characters, too. I would have liked to see more of them.

I really liked the concept of the mating bond. The telepathic thing isn’t really original, but the hair colouring certainly was. There was a lot of Alpha-male stuff going on, too, which is a bit creepy, but in some ways, also cute.

The descriptions in this book were really good as well. I could really see a lot of the scenes and places in my mind. I did notice a few errors, but nothing really major.

Although this book was the second in the series, I did find it really easy to understand and the characters were interesting and likable.

I’d definitely be interested in reading more books in this series in the future.
