Ink by Amanda Sun

This cover is absolutely stunning! I love a good mythology retelling and the synopsis piqued my interest. Once I got into this, it opened the door to a new world for me. This introduction to Japanese mythology was completely new to me. Now that I have had my taste of Far East deities, I aim to seek out more. My only qualm for not rating this higher was the romance elements that I did not find wholly believable. The characters pitched the instant-love concept with the mystical tie in to explain the chemical connection, yet I was not completely sold. Meh, that could have been omitted and it still would have been an entertaining story.
