Title: “Ink”
Author: Amanda Sun
Publication date:
6/25/13
Type of book: Teen
paranormal romance.
Is this a part of
a series, If yes, which number? Yes, it’s book one.
Summary: After
losing her mom, Katie Green moves to Japan to live with her Aunt. Katie is
already struggling to fit in when she has a run-in with Yuu Tomohiro (a popular
and aloof boy in her school). Soon strange things start happening whenever Katie
is around Tomo and she is determined to discover what he’s hiding from her even
if it puts her life in danger.
Characters: *Katie
is a regular girl who has had to deal with the loss of her mom. She is a
relatable character and I didn’t find her annoying like some female leads in
other teen books. (I liked her.)
*Tomo is a boy
with a lot of baggage. He has struggled with his secrets his whole life and as
a result he is very isolated. I did feel for him, but I had some moments when I
wanted to reach into the book and slap him. I’m excited to see how he grows in
the next book.
*”Ink” has some
other fun characters but I don’t really feel the need to go on about them. I do
really like Katie’s aunt, she is cool and sweet.
Favorite bits: I
really enjoyed that this story was set in Japan. I loved the descriptions of
Japan and the use of some Japanese words. I also really liked learning about
the Kami and their history. I like where the romance is going so far and can’t
wait to see how it progresses. (I found it sweet.) The story also had plenty of
danger and intrigue to satisfy any reader.
Problematic bits:
Even though I liked the romance, it did move a bit fast for me. I think this is
a problem in a lot of teen books so I tend to overlook it most of the time.
*Overall I found
this book to be a fast and fun read. It has a unique setting and the Kami are
new for me as well. I will for sure be reading book two when it comes out.
