Product Description
Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow. Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life. The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . . .

 Much better than Wicked Lovely September 26, 2008
I enjoyed Wicked Lovely, but it wasn't the best book I have ever read.
While I loved Seth and Aislynn, I had a hard time liking Keenan. He was kind of flat as was the story in my opinion. However, I chose to give Ink Exchange a chance, and I am so glad that I did.
I loved this story and the ending was absolutely perfect. My heart went out to all of the characters. Somehow, not only does Marr allow you to feel sympathy towards Irial, she also allows you to fall in love with him. Who knew? I found myself torn between two men, or should I say faeries.
So, if you enjoyed Wicked Lovely, you should definitely read Ink Exchange and even if you didn't, give it a try. It's delicious.
 scary for many reasons, good and bad September 4, 2008
This author is a very good writer, her ideas are wonderful, and the book is very developed. However, if you are looking for a happy love story, this is not the book for you.
Craving for More September 4, 2008
I read this title in less than a day, I wouldn't move from my bed until I finished! The characters are different and more believable than anything you'd find in Twilight. Melissa Marr has a fresh and appetizing way to introducing and keeping us in the world she has created. It's dark and forbidden and keeps me thinking about the book long after I've finished.
Imaginative but dissappointing September 2, 2008
Okay, I really loved Wicked Lovely, so I was looking forward to Ink Exchange. The writing was fine, and I loved the ideas behind the story, but I just didn't love the story. It's just a matter of personal taste, but I just didn't like it much.
 Good beginning, very disappointing ending, waste of time August 30, 2008
Warning: SPOILERS This book was a big WASTE OF TIME. The "heroine" was drugged by her brother & raped by his drug dealers, which of course, makes you sympathize with her and hope that she can overcome her problems and take charge of her life. She does none of this. She is getting a tattoo which is causing her to see a fairy realm, which is cool, but she doesn't even know what's going on until the last 5 chpts of the book (I'm thinking, finally!) but all that happens is that she willingly becomes some sexy fairy guy's sex slave. O_o I am not kidding. Through the whole book something will happen when her tattoo is finished and that's what happens. In the last chapter, she decides to leave him (but he could have easily made her stay -_-) & goes to college. The end. She didn't deserve what happened to her, but clearly she is a stupid girl who lets men run her life. She certainly didn't do anything to prove otherwise.
