Angel's Ink: The Asylum Tales (The Asylum Tales, #1)

by Jocelynn Drake

The first book in a sexy, dark and gripping new paranormal romance series by New York Times bestselling author Jocelynn Drake.

Buyer beware . . .

Looking for a tattoo - and maybe a little something extra: a burst of good luck, a dollop of true love, or even a hex on an ex? Head to the quiet and mysterious Gage, the best skin artist in town. Using unique potions - a blend of extraordinary ingredients and special inks - to etch the right symbol, he can fulfil any heart's desire. But in a place like Low Town, where elves, faeries, trolls, werewolves, and vampires happily walk among humanity, everything has its price.

No one knows that better than Gage. Turning his back on his own kind, he left the magical Ivory Tower where cruel witches and warlocks rule, a decision that cost him the right to practice magic. And if he disobeys, his punishment - execution - will be swift.

Though he's tried to fly under the radar, Gage can't hide from powerful warlocks who want him dead - or the secrets of his own past. But with the help of his friends, Trixie, a gorgeous elf who hides her true identity, and a hulking troll named Bronx, Gage might just make it through this enchanted world alive.

This was an enjoyable read. I was excited to have a book told from the male's PoV but there really was no difference. The reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the over telling of how many protection spells have been cast. And also the "love" between Gage and Trixie felt forced on the reader, no real chemistry.
