Oh, and she was running from some nasty guys who wanted to force her into a marriage she didn't want. Basically, the main character screws some things up and finds himself in various impossible situations, with one situation and event happening after another and after another. There was literally NO PAUSE for ANYTHING in this book, including for letting the poor reader take a breath! I had some issues with the characterization of the two main characters however, which I will detail below. Angels Ink is a celebration of the dreamers, the seekers, and the boundary breakers. Those creative thinkers who challenge convention and move the world forward. Sourced from premier vineyards across the Central Coast, Angels Ink produces world-class Pinot Noir and Rosé that are rich, round, and supple in texture.
The Rosé invites with aromas of candied strawberry and watermelon. Juicy on entry, this wine is long on fresh strawberry and honeydew melon with exotic accents of key lime and crème fraîche. Medium-bodied and slightly rounded in the mouthfeel, the fruity depth of this wine is tempered with a touch of crisp acidity. Angel’s Ink is an other-earthly blend of magic and technology in the best tradition of urban fantasy that refused to let me go. The continuing Asylum Tales promise to be intriguing and wildly inventive.”— Kim Harrison

Genre fans who know—and love—Drake’s phenomenal, New York Times bestselling Dark Days novels will be blown away by this dark and seductive new series.
This book also seems to steal a lot of elements from other PNR/UF series out there. There just wasn’t a lot unique here. Pretty much everything was mediocre and this whole book was kind of blah. We want to make sure that you never feel alone in this process. Having been through the loss of our daughter, we know that feeling; and we want to do everything we can to ensure that you never have to.

He is gearing up for some battle for his life and he has to do it without getting caught using magic, which of course is not going to happen. I'm bored of this. I'm done. I don't care what happens to any of these characters. I'm not finishing this book, but I gave it 2 stars because frankly, the world is awesome. I have to give this two stars. It was well on it's way to four stars in terms of the plot and all of that and then two things happened that I could never quite get over throughout the rest of the book. Meanwhile, Gage is growing closer to Trixie and now the men that she’s hiding from come storming into Asylum to take her from him forever and to force her into a marriage and a lifetime of servitude to her king. The main female character could have been referred to generically as 'The Love Interest' (i.e. for the main male character who also narrated the story), because that was really all she was: whenever she was mentioned she was always characterized as 'sweet' and as physically attractive. In the end, Angel’s Ink will appeal to fans of dark, urban fantasy. As the beginning of a series, it sets up many storylines that will be finished later. As it is, I can’t wait to see what is next for Gage and his circle of friends.
Not a fan of characters who isolate themselves by keeping everything they're involved in a secret. For me that can get really frustrating, and I find myself irritated by the "excessive loner" archetype. Again, that's personal preference, and it might be just the style you're looking for. I climbed in bed and realized I had forgotten to update my kindle and all that was on there unread was this piece of garbage. I decided as I had not gotten to the sex scene I would read on, perhaps it had some unforeseen redeeming qualities, I plowed on. As I suspected it was not long off from the point in which I decided I was done with this book, so thankfully I didn't have too many painfully meaningless pile of words to wade through. The fact is there is nothing wrong with the sex scene, except for everything. Angel’s Ink had been sitting in my Audible library since December 2017, so I couldn’t say I was in a hurry to get to it. Audiobooks aren’t my main format for reading, so that’s not much of a surprise. I guess I got it because it was on sale and the blurb seemed really interesting and pretty much had everything that could hook me to a book. The funny thing is, at the time I didn’t have a tattoo yet (but I wanted to have one!) or the blog (funny coincidence with the series title, but then I don’t believe in coincidences), so I had no idea what a good fit it’ll be within 2 years, hah!Characters other than the main character aren't as well developed - maybe too many of them? I definitely would have liked to see the female lead and the troll friend/coworker get a lot more involvement and character development. That's it. That's pretty much all that is EVER mentioned about her. Which... given that the narrator is supposed to be in love with her, made me wonder whether this was really the case (i.e. did he really care about her?). Probably not many people knows as I hardly ever review urban fantasy for the blog, but the genre has a special place in my heart. After all it was an UF series that really hooked me to fantasy and forced me to start to read in English for real. And now here we are.
