Review: Skin Deep (Feral Ink #1) by Sarah Mäkelä

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Angelique had no idea her black panther tattoo would force her to abandon the love of her life—Connor O’Reilly—but she’s determined to keep him safe no matter how much it hurts. Her tattoo doubles as her feline familiar: loving, protective, dangerous, and with a life of its own. It’s also her deepest secret and draws enemies who desire its power for themselves.

Connor has no idea why Angelique left him, but he’s determined to win her back. As a werewolf, he has secrets of his own. Now his alpha is ready to force him to pair with an ex-girlfriend he can’t stand unless he can find Angelique and claim her as his mate. But even as their secrets threaten to keep them apart, hidden enemies seek to destroy their chance at love forever.

My Review:

Angelique is determined to keep him safe, Connor is determined to win her back but their secrets threaten to keep them apart and hidden enemies seek to destroy their love forever in this edgy and thrilling paranormal romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers hovering on the edge of anticipation with suspense, drama, action and romance.  The well written scenes and details inspire vivid images that capture the imagination and the well orchestrated suspense and drama draw the reader deeper into the story.  The characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning while the action scenes and a thrilling edge of danger and excitement.

There is no mistaking the heart that flares between Angel and Connor, but they both have secrets that they can’t reveal but fighting isn’t getting them anywhere because their attraction is too intense and leads to some hot and steamy sex.

The reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as the drama of their courtship unfolds.  Connor has been given an ultimatum find his mate or take the one that’s chomping at the bits to have him and Angel believes that her panther is a danger to Connor, but before the two can begin to really work on their problems, hidden enemies come calling making thinks real intense.

The story is edgy thrilling and has some very interesting elements that arouse curiosity and ensure that the reader wants to know more.  While it is a short tease, it is a fascinating introduction to the Feral Ink series that never has a dull moment and I can’t wait to read more Angel and Connor and find out what happens next.
