Description

In this first book of the Dark Ink Chronicles tattoo artist and ex-wild child Riley Poe is just a semi normal person trying to live her life and raise her little brother Seth when Seth and his friends unwittingly release 2 very dagerous and very old beings from their tomb. In order to save her brother and his friends from a damned future she must team up with an extraordinary family of creatures of the afterlight, the Dupre's, to stop the evil ones from taking over Savannah and preying on innocent people. With Eliqius Dupre and the other Dupres help she reimmerses herself in the dark underworld of Savannah and finds herself in a world of creatures she never knew existed.

This was a really good story with not much to dislike. I absolutely LOVE Riley! I wanted to be her, she was just too cool. With her fuchsia streaked hair and her dragon tattoos and her wicked clothes, she was just one of those people you could never forget. And after everything she'd been through in her life she's incredibly strong. I love that she put everyone before herself not caring about the consequences. And Eli...OMG! The guy was hot and he complemented Riley so well. I can't wait to see more of Seth in the nest book since we didn't get to see much of him in this book what with being with the bad guys the whole time. nd the other Dupres were really cool too. Oh and I can't forget Preacher and Estelle the Gullah couple who helped raise Riley and Seth. Preacher was so interesting.

The only things I didn't like was parts of the writing could have been improved and the sex scenes needed a little work. But since there were only a couple of those it wasn't a big deal. I'm really not understanding all of the really bad reviews like the 1 and 2 star ones. But I guess to eath their own. I personally really liked this book and will definitely continue reading the reast of the books as they come out. I recommend this to anyone who like original vampire books. :)
