Ink Exchange is the sequel to a wonderful and interesting book called Wicked Lovely. Wicked Lovely's star character, Aislin, had her turn being in the spotlight. Her best friend, Leslie, is taking her turn in Ink Exchange. Leslie has a horrible older brother named Ren, who lets his friends take advantage of her and "make nice" with her, as she said in the book. Shes tired of this life and wants change, which is what Irial intends to give her. She wants no more pain and sadness. To Leslie, the way to get change is to get a tattoo at her friend Rabbit's tattoo shop called Pins and Needles. She chooses the sign of Irial, but doesn't know it, and wants it on her as soon as possible. Rabbit is hesitant but knows how in need Leslie is. Ounce he starts working on it, Leslie starts changing. She starts 'tasting' people's emotions. Irial catches up to her and explains that he has stolen her mortality. She also is in love with the faerie named Niall, the most important one in the Summer Court besides Keenan and Aislin. She has no choice but to stay with Irial,despite her love for Niall. Leslie never imagined her life being this complicated-let alone without Ren any more.

I hate to admit it but I liked this book more than the first. And I loved the fist one! Leslie is the main focus, instead of  Ash. Altho Ash is still in it.

I liked Leslie's character more than Ash. I have no idea why. Leslie was have a hard time with almost every thing. She had to face some real life situations, which I thought made her seem even more realistic. I could relate to Leslie in some ways, like feeling lost. But Leslie goes through much more. Her dad is an alcoholic, and her brothers a druggie. So she's basically taking care of her self. 

Irial and Niall are the two men...faeries that are vying for her attention. Both come with secrets that Leslie would have never guessed. I was more towards Niall, and I was rooting for him the whole way through. One of the lesser characters was actually my favorite. Rabbit, he owns the tattoo shop 'Needles and Pens'. He was so kind towards Leslie. He treated her like a younger sister. 


Overall I loved this book. The plot was amazing! You wont be able to put this book down!
