Of Ink and Alchemy

The Black Rabbit, Book 1

De: Sloane St. James

Narrado por: Chloe Ryan, James Cassidy

All's fair in love and war at a tattoo parlor—until a stalker enters the picture—in this deliciously dark romance from the author of the Lakes Hockey series.

Even before her father's death, Kelly Everhart always knew Logan Teller was someone she could rely on. Now he's taken over the Black Rabbit tattoo shop and brought her along with him. And while Kelly still finds her former crush and current mentor hot as hell, they're firmly in the friendzone. Or so she thinks....

Logan's been biding his time, but he's no longer leaving anything to chance—not since Kelly started getting serious with her boring boyfriend. And as Logan manipulates the situation and sabotages the couple every chance he gets, Kelly starts to notice all the ways Jason doesn't quite measure up to the man who's always been such a huge part of her life.

When her relationship with Logan suddenly goes from playful and platonic to strictly sinful, Kelly can't stop herself from falling head over heels. But just as things are heating up between them, she starts receiving anonymous messages with information only a few—including Logan—could possibly know about her. Can she trust him after all?

Of Ink and Alchemy is a dark romance with a morally gray MMC and mature content. Narrated in duet style.

Loved

It was so good, I love the mystery and trying to figure out who the person is and you least expected it to be.

I loved Logan very teddy bear with Kelly but also so dark loved it. I couldn’t help but laugh. Almost in tears with the dad letters loved it !!

F…. Amazing Narrators

Another hit from Sloane! James Cassidy and Chloe Ryan perfectly captured the essence of Logan and Kelly. Having read every book of Sloane’s, I loved how this installment continued the saga. Between the constant twists and Logan’s surreal, intense possessiveness, I couldn't stop listening. Highly recommended! 🎧

Logan and Kelly

The amount of times I laughed out loud but would have throttled Logan in real life, I lost count of. Love their love story and can't wait for book 2 in the series.

Great story and excellent voice actors!!

James Cassidy & Chloe Ryan are amazing together! Can’t wait for book 2! New fan of Sloane St James!

Ink & Alchemy - Spoilers!!

Giving this book a 4 star review. Over all I enjoyed the story, the fact that it took place in a Tattoo Parlor, loved the little bit of alchemy sprinkled in.. although I wish it had more based of the title. I will most likely continue the series.

However- while I typically love a morally grey MMC, I found it really hard to stay liking this one. He was deceitful and it felt manipulative. The lies and games kept coming and it made me dislike the character as it continued on. He did come clean with the truth but it just gave me the ick.
