About the Book
A whole new series from the world of the Echo Trilogy.
Three years ago, the gods abandoned us. We’ve been alone ever since.
Kat Dubois is immortal, and she’s retired. She’s long since hung up her sword and left assassinating immortals to someone else…anyone else. She’s now a hard drinking, sass-flinging Seattle tattoo artist with the innate ability to read people’s fortunes using her charmed deck of tarot cards. Her days of bloodshed are over, and she has nothing but time – an eternity, in fact – to hide from her past.
Until someone from her past shows up on her doorstep with news that her beloved older brother and mentor, Dominic, has gone missing. Kat may be the only person with the right skills – and access to the right magic – to track him down. She must confront her past if she’s to have any chance of finding and saving her brother. She must fight her demons. She must embrace the power within her.
She must become the Ink Witch.

My Review
I listened to the audiobook, Ink Witch, by Linsey Farleigh. Julia Whelan does a smashing job of narrating this urban fantasy novel about an immortal tattoo artist, Kate Dubois, whose magic is in her ink. Well, not really. The magic is inside of her, but when Kate inks up, watch out. Kate plays the reluctant heroine, coming out of retirement to find and save her brother, who has gone missing, along with others, both magical and mortal. But there’s more to it than at first meets the eye, and the danger ratchets up as Kate uncovers the pieces that will uncover an evil and diabolical plot to take unchallenged control of the magical realm. Her inky magic is just what’s called for to battle the forces of evil, but can she stop her adversaries before their plan can be carried out?
Original and entertaining to the utmost. A fun urban fantasy adventure. I give Ink Witch five quills.

Kaye Lynne, always enjoy reading your reviews. This urban fantasy sounds interesting. In this day and age, with people on the go more, are audiobooks the preferred listen to books form. I still like and collect physical books. 📚🎶 Christine

I don’t know if they are the norm, Christine. But I think they are becoming more popular, both to readers and to authors, as an additional stream of income from their writing. Personally, I will always love the feel of a print book in my hand, but as I have a busy life, I read in other forms for situations which aren’t convenient for reading print.
There is nothing I love more than to relax in a hot bath with a print book. In bed, I like to use my e-reader in the dark. And I’ve been enjoying audio books when my hands are occupied with other tasks such as driving, gardening, cleaning, cooking, etc… Hence, more often than not, I am reading or listening to 3-4 books simultaneously. But I think there is a place for each of the different forms.

Thanks, Kaye Lynn. You are a busy reader. I’m way behind! Trying to catch up with only a TBR stack of books. I do like the feel of a book in my hand too. 📚🎶
