Andrea, a Brigham Young University graduate, is an avid reader and outdoor enthusiast (hiking, fishing, boating, biking, spending time in the Rocky Mountains, and taking walks). She spent a year and a half serving the Spanish speaking community in Toronto, Canada, and fluently speaks 2 ½ languages. She plays several instruments, not including the banjo, and loves putting together musical arrangements. Her favorite sports are basketball and football, though several knee surgeries and incurably awful coordination prevent her from playing them.
Andrea is always in the mood for a good movie with close friends and family (especially her husband and mom), with a large glass of milk and a bowl of overly buttered popcorn nearby. She also enjoys oil painting, making earrings, squeezing every bit of oxygen out of Ziploc bags, and she hopes to someday travel to Italy and Alaska.
Able has been an enigmatic character through three of the author’s series. Now this series of short stories gives us a look at his earlier life. In the golden Tattoo we meet Abel before he was enslaved on an alien planet! This series of short stories is a sweet bonus for followers of Andrea Pearson.
I have loved reading about Abel since The Koven Chronicles. This is a really great series to read to REALLY get to know why Abel is the way he is. In this book you find out that his family has been held captive and he must do what the enemies say to keep them safe.
I read this book in one day! It was awesome to learn how Able got his first tattoo. This book fills in a lot of information from the Shadow Prophet series. I really think it is a good idea to read the Shadow Prophet series first. I can't wait for the next book in the series!
This is a great look into what happened to Able and what made him into the man he becomes. I'm looking forward to the next tattoo book and his main story!
