Ink in the Blood by Kim Smejkal

4.0

I'm definitely happy that I finally knocked Ink in the Blood off of my TBR. Even though it hasn't been on there long, it just nice to mark it complete. After finishing this beautiful book, I can say with so much excitement that I can't wait for the next book.

Now this one right here dive into so many things. You get the traveling circus, magical tattoos, so much freaking tension, and a bunch of other things. I could keep going on and on describing what you will see along the way but honestly - you should just see it with your own eyes or hear with your own ears.

I will admit that the whole plague doctor thing and the mask made me hesitant. Like super hesitant. Not sure how you can make one of those masks sound sexy but Kim does a pretty good job. Even if they still creep me out. It was also pretty easy to fall in love with everything when it comes to Celia. Besides her, there's a lot of diversity throughout this book and it might get a tad bit confusing once pronouns are introduced in the beginning (because there's just so many characters to keep track of) but it does start to make sense after that.

In the end, I loved this book and I definitely need the next one ASAP.
