Resumen del Editor

Some things are permanent. Indelible. And they cannot be changed back.

Joy Malone learns this the night she sees a stranger with all-black eyes across a crowded room - right before the mystery boy tries to cut out her eye.

Instead, the wound accidentally marks her as property of Indelible Ink, and this dangerous mistake thrusts Joy into an incomprehensible world - a world of monsters at the window, glowing girls on the doorstep and a life that will never be the same.

Now, Joy must pretend to be Ink's chosen one - his helper, his love, his something for the foreseeable future...and failure to be convincing means a painful death for them both.

Swept into a world of monsters, illusion, immortal honor and revenge, Joy discovers that sometimes, there are no mistakes.

I don’t know how to be fair...

I really liked the story in theory, but it was incredible hard to get past the narrator. Her female voice was great but the male voice would have been better off unaltered. Her attempt to differentiate ended up with a bizarre childlike voice. Being that his is a romantic story, and it was a teenage boy, it just became creepy. I couldn’t enjoys the romantic aspects of the storyline and gave up halfway through. I really tried to focus on the positives but it was just so creepy!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

This needed a better narrator

What was most disappointing about Dawn Metcalf’s story?

There was so little research into folklore done for this, they fey in this story were just a vehicle for a sad plot.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Seriously woman, stop trying to make up voices, you just made the characters sound like little girls trying to make up voices. All of the characters wound up sounding effete and ridiculous.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Indelible?

All of them?

Narration is fine, don't be deterred

I was nervous since the reviews are so harsh about the narrator, but she was fine! I guess I could see how some people might prefer a different type of voice, but she did a decent job differentiating voices for characters, and given the numerous scenes including the characters Ink and Inq, I think she did well pronouncing them differently enough to follow along. The story was good, looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

Narration is torture ....

I was mildly interested in the story but the way that the narrator keeps saying the name Ink or Inc.... like .... innnnKKKKK! Over and over is like nails on a chalkboard. Don’t listen to this. Read it instead. No idea if the story is good or bad, but this is the first time ever I can NOT listen to a story. Totally ruined it.
