All's fair in love and war at a tattoo parlor--until a stalker enters the picture--in this deliciously dark romance from the author of the Lakes Hockey series.
Even before her father's death, Kelly Everhart always knew Logan Teller was someone she could rely on. Now he's taken over the Black Rabbit tattoo shop and brought her along with him. And while Kelly still finds her former crush and current mentor hot as hell, they're firmly in the friendzone. Or so she thinks . . .
Logan's been biding his time, but he's no longer leaving anything to chance--not since Kelly started getting serious with her boring boyfriend. And as Logan manipulates the situation and sabotages the couple every chance he gets, Kelly starts to notice all the ways her Jason doesn't quite measure up to the man who's always been such a huge part of her life.
When her relationship with Logan suddenly goes from playful and platonic to strictly sinful, Kelly can't stop herself from falling head over heels. But just as things are heating up between them, she starts receiving anonymous messages with information only a few--including Logan--could possibly know about her. Can she trust him after all?
Of Ink and Alchemy is a dark romance with a morally gray MMC and mature content featuring explicit scenes.

Did I like the fact that a secret marriage happened…no, but I knew going into this book it would be about manipulation and deception with a relationship that would become one of balance and love. Overall I definitely will continue the series as I loved the pull and push of the characters. I thought the book was well written with interesting.
Definitely scratches the tattoo artist craving!
This is a paranormal romance with tattoo/ink, magic, and alchemy vibes. The MMC and FMC are pulled together through supernatural forces, secrets, and chemistry, with the romance wrapped in a magical, slightly gothic atmosphere.
This was a fun read! Even loved the little plot twist. James Cassidy made the spicy parts extra spicy. 🥵 loved this read. I look forward to hearing the other characters stories.
This book had me interested, then lost me a bit, then had me interested again in the climax. I think my biggest issue was that I wasn’t attracted to Logan AT ALL. His physical appearance didn’t do it for me, but his personality was the worst part. I know he was supposed to be dominating and powerful, but the fact that he did things to Kelly without asking came across as insecure and controlling instead. If he REALLY thought they were meant to be, he could’ve just navigated the situation normally and they would’ve ended up together. However, this is addressed in the story and resolved, so my attention was recaptured. Also, over halfway into the book is their first intimate scene AND…Logan is just talking the entire time. Disappointing because in my opinion, if you can talk that much during the act, you’re not hitting it right. I’ll leave it at that.
I personally didn’t see the twist coming for the stalker reveal, so I was hooked from that point on until the end. Overall I ended up enjoying, even though I had some icks and complaints along the way.
