Ink by Amanda Sun
5.0

Oh, wow; was the first thing that I said once I'd finished Ink.

When I had the opportunity to join Amanda's Blog Tour and get to read Ink, I was thrilled, because I had seen it so many times circling the blogs I read and how everyone was so excited to read it. This did not, by far, fall short of my expectations; I was hooked from chapter to chapter, enveloping myself more into the deep, and sometimes dangerous, beautiful culture of Japan and more into Katie's world.

Katie Greene was a seemingly normal girl living in America until her Mother died and because her grandparent's wouldn't be up to look after her until she was eighteen and free to live on her own, her Aunt Diane takes her in. The only problem is...she lives in Shizuoka, Japan...the other side of the world.

Katie doesn't know much Japanese to start with and feels completely lost in translation. She isn't an outcast for this, though. In fact, she has two lovely friends at the start of Ink; Yuki and Tanaka. Yuki is actually the first to warn Katie from getting on Tomohiro's bad side. But, independent and driven Katie goes against her warnings and makes herself seen on Tomohiro's radar and from there...Ink truly begins...
