⬳ June 2, 2008 I went to Melissa Marr’s book signing for Ink Exchange at Vroman’s in Pasadena. I was crazy excited about it and wrote about it on my online VOX journal (VOX was sold to typepad and my journal was then moved there), so I have proof of my fangirl brain explosion. But here are some photos from the Vroman’s event as well as my Wicked Lovely collection. The books have survived numerous moves despite the occasional wholesale obliteration of our book collection to avoid hauling them between apartments. Fear not–we donate them to the library, we do not actually obliterate novels.

Title: Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely #2)
Author: Melissa Marr
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Release Date: April 24, 2008

The second installment in Melissa Marr’s #1 New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series brings readers back to the land of faerie and delivers another stunning, high-stakes romance.

Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.

Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.

The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . .
