New Books and Magic Tattoos

in Hive Book Club8 months ago (edited)

Hi Hive! Have you read anything good lately?

It's been a while since I posted, so I wanted to pop in with a quick update on my writing and to share some new books I'm adding to my library.

New Books!


In other news, I got book mail today!

I finally bought Fourth Wing. With dragon riding and romance, it comes highly recommended. I want to see what the hype is about.

I also one-clicked a kindle copy of Inked by Rachel Rener, which is at the top of my TBR list. I follow the author and have had her books on my wishlist for a while but haven’t gotten to actually reading them yet.

Like my game and many other stories (Shadowhunters jumps to mind), Rachel Rener’s Guilded Blood series includes magic tattoos. The premise, setting, and nature of her series appears to be vastly different than Ink and Intrigue, but I’m really curious to see what her approach to magic tattoos is about. This series is advertised as hot fantasy romance with a comedic twist. The art for Rener’s books is gorgeous and the cover on my kindle doesn’t do it justice, so here’s a screenshot of the author’s FB page:

I love the art! Rener has an amazing omnibus of her Guilded Blood series available for preorder. I figured I’d read the first book on kindle to make sure it’s as good as the reviews say before I commit to a box set or that glorious omnibus.


Whatever happens, keep singing your song!
Peace @Katrina-Ariel

I just finished the three chapter Ink demo.

Holy heck, I made some excellent choices to get where I got to, and get the outcome I got. ;) There were a few surprises I didn't see coming, till I saw them coming.

Rae is going to leave a mark. I'd have to play it several more times to find out about the other options, but I think I made very wise choices that suited me well, to end up with her as my accompaniment for the pre and after party festivities.

I'm just going to let that be my entire publicly published reaction for now.

Fun, and spicy stuff, crazy how complex it must be getting all that organized in a way that can make sense no matter what you choose at each juncture.
