Book Description:
With the needle of a tattoo gun,
Isa Romanchzyk has the power to create and destroy. In her shop Nightmare Ink,
Isa helps those in need by binding the powers embedded in their Live Ink—the
magical tattoos that can enhance the life of the wearer, or end it. But binding tattoos has earned Isa the
contempt of her fellow artists—including her former lover Daniel.
When a friend comes to the shop
with a tattoo on the verge of killing him, Isa can’t turn him away. For the
first time in years, she works Live Ink into someone’s skin—something she swore
she’d never do again. But breaking her vow soon becomes the least of her problems.
Isa is horrified to discover her
friend’s body in the shop, but the real nightmare begins when she’s abducted
and inked against her will. Now, as she
seeks retribution from the man who betrayed her, Isa must figure out how to
bind her Living Tattoo before it consumes her completely...
Excerpt:
“Hey, pretty lady. You look lonely,” a smooth, musical voice
said as she strode toward her shop door.
She glanced at the striking young man reclining against the
back of the bus shelter that stood in front of the kitchen wares store two
doors down. In the glare of the streetlights, the young man, dressed in
skintight dark Levi’s, a shirt that outlined every defined muscle, and a beat-up
leather jacket, raked Isa with a hungry glance.
Had to be one of Patty’s “projects” if he was working her
territory.
“A couple of Ria’s gang tagged that shelter this morning,”
Isa said, trusting he’d been on the streets long enough to know which gang
claimed this part of Ballard Avenue. “Smear it and they’ll tag you.”
He jerked upright, swearing.
She smiled and reached for the door of Nightmare Ink.
“Aw, chica,” he
said. “You don’t want to go in there. The owner, she’s a bruja. A witch. People say she’s got a secret room down in the
basement. You go in there and part of you dies.”
