Ink #1
A Gift Unknown
alternate cover edition 9780615911748
When Ali Snow first discovers a strange mark on her arm upon her eighteenth birthday, she tries to dismiss it as an innocent stain. However when the mark returns, her suspicions quickly deepen. She reaches out for help from her grandfather, but his unexpected death leaves Ali to face the mystery alone.
Each time the mark returns, Ali is haunted further by the foreign symbols she searches to understand while carefully hiding it from those around her. She manages to keep her secret safe until one night someone sees more than expected, and Ali soon learns there’s more to the mark than the mere ink upon her skin.
For with the mark comes the darkness to destroy, or the power to protect, but only if she accepts it for the gift it really is.

(Hey, lovely book people! I adore hanging out here, but I’ve learned that if I stay on Goodreads too long, my productivity mysteriously evaporates (suspect: books). So I’m putting myself on a strict-ish check-in-occasionally plan.
I’ll still answer messages and questions whenever I wander back in—just not every day.
Thanks for your patience and for being awesome!)
Mae East is a certified librarian with a Master of Library and Information Science degree and an obsessive compulsion to research everything — which may be to blame for her unorthodox writing style. She's been told that the big bucks come from sticking to a consistent genre, but she doesn't listen. She writes about anything that tickles her fancy, covering historical fiction to paranormal tales to contemporary novels. She believes there are just too many paths to explore in this world to just stick to the woods. She adores Caramel breves and Nintendo Switch's Ring Fit because, well...they just go together (at least to her). She currently resides in Texas, where she spends too much time binge-watching grossly unhealthy TV shows and then reading psychology books to figure out what's wrong with her — the verdict is still pending. On windy days, she can be found reading just about anything that's been recommended and typing up the plot to her next adventure — unpredictable adventures even to her.

I really liked this book, hated the ending. Typo's and misspelled words( unless this was an ARC copy) I will read the next book and see if it is any better.

I couldn't stop reading it until I finished it in one sitting . I find the story intriguing although the script need to be reviewed due to some mistakes . I had an issue religion wise with angels walking as humans and fallen angels getting married to humans but such things set aside .. the storyteller had a really vivid imagination and looking forward to read what happens next.
