INK
By S
J Davis
Genre:
paranormal YA
“It’s a good day to die.” My mother
holds my arm fiercely. “But as you grieve for me, listen for the voices. Then,
you must get the ink.”
***
Sparrow stumbles between two worlds
– light and dark, love and hate, what is real and what is in her mind. When her
mother dies on the Reservation, Sparrow’s world is shadowed with anger and
narrowed by pain. The voices arrive, but are they real? And how can a tattoo make her stronger?
Mateo arrives to guard Sparrow, but
from whom? Layne holds on to Sparrow, but why? As the voices grow stronger and
her pain expands, Sparrow finds that the shadows in the corner and the voices
we fear most are the ones inside ourselves.
My Thoughts:
This is really a beautiful book. Sparrow, is Native, and after her mother's death she goes to live with her Aunt. This book is really a beautiful story of Sparrow trying to come to terms with her mom's death and dealing with the guilt she feels. She feels like it's her fault for the accident that took her moms life.
Her journey takes her deep into her own mind and soul and to try to help her along the way is her spirit guide Mateo and her boyfriend. I really connected with this novel, I am not Native, but, I had many of the same feelings and guilt after my father passed away. This is a fantastic book and I recommend it to all. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!! Enjoy!!!!
