Ink of Blood

(I received a free copy of this book, from Curiosity Quills Press Publishers, in exchange for a review).

(This review may contain spoilers).

I found this book to be quite an intriguing read. It’s always interesting to see a book where the main character is male after all and I found it really easy to like Aiden. Although I would have liked to see a bit more of his history, I felt the book was written well enough to make Aiden and his friends likable characters.

The idea of Aiden being a Gateway was quite an interesting one and I found it easy to feel sympathy for the Bleeders. I did think that Aiden made some mistakes, though – I felt he should have confided in his friends more and earlier.

I didn’t really like Koren. I couldn’t really see what Aiden saw in her. I found his relationship with Julie a lot more interesting. I also liked the hints of Trevor’s feelings for Evan. I would like to see more of them… and if anything could form between them.

I did like the friendship between Aiden, Trevor and Evan. I always like loyalty in friends and I felt that came across really well in their interactions, despite how Aiden acted at times.

The book was really easy to read and kept my attention throughout. I liked a lot of the supporting characters, though there were a few things I figured out fairly quickly.

It would be good to read a sequel to this book and find out what will happen to the characters later on. I liked this book and would be interested to read other books by this author in the future.
