Ink & Fire: (A Havenwood Falls Novella) by R K Ryals.
"This is paranormal romance in the Havenwood Falls series of New Adult and Adult fantasy novellas featuring a variety of supernatural creatures. The series is a collaborative effort by multiple authors. Each book is generally a stand-alone, so you can read them in any order, although some authors will be writing sequels to their own stories. Please be aware when you choose your next read. We do recommend that you read Forget You Not first as an introduction to the town and its eccentricities."
Harper Sinclair feels cursed. She can't look at words, and especially can't write anything for fear that she will be possessed by demons and will write a message that will bring death to whomever the message is for. When she is forced to sign a contract her worst nightmares are realised when she ends up writing a deadly message before being thrown across the room by an evil force. The message was for Lucas Fox, a fallen angel, a warning that a demon he imprisoned is going to escape and come for him to kill him!
Lucas may be a fallen angel, but he isn't evil. He comes to Havenwood Falls both to keep Harper safe, plus to take on Levi, as soon as he escapes his prison. What he doesn't realise, nor does anybody else, is that Harper is going to play as big a part by keeping Lucas safe, and the recapture of Levi as well.
From the Prologue of this book, I was hooked, so much so that I had to read the book in one go. There was some humour, a lot of drama, some very emotional moments, and some passionate moments too. There were twists and turns, and definitely never a dull moment. I was slightly disappointed with part of the ending, I can't say what, because it will be a spoiler, but suffice to say that the romantic in me was feeling a little let down.
On the whole, this was a great read, one of my favourite so far in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers' copy of this book.
