3.5 stars - I liked it. Nightmare Ink (A Living Ink Novel) seems to have inspired a mixed response from readers but I still enjoyed it.What worked for me is that I like the leading lady magical tattoo artist Isa(Ice), she's got issues that make her afraid to use her powers and cause her to try to keep her emotional distance from the others around her - but still she's gathered a new 'family' because she is basically a caring person who will do what's right despite the danger to herself. That 'family' has real potential but they don't come to clearly in focus here, but then again much of the book is about a new relationship for Ice and inner dialog that comes with that dominates the last half of the book and probably accounts for some pacing issues in the part of the book.I really liked idea of magical living ink that is key to the world in this story, I thought it was interesting(I've liked other stories with magic tattoos too), interesting enough to pick up the next book and see what happens next for Ice.
