I had first discovered this glorious series when I had won Indelible in a GoodReads Giveaway, at first I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect from it's description. But the minute I started reading it I was in, I couldn't put it down. Although I've only read the first two books at this point, I still adore the series because of it's uniqueness and 100% plan on reading the other two in the future, I just haven't got tent a chance at reading them quite yet!
When you think of Fey or fairies you think of beauty and a species of being that are completely whacked up. You haven't seen anything until you've read this series. The Fey or The Twixt in this case are the weirdest beings you'd ever see, when reading the series you give your imagination a run for it's money.
If you want a series that tripy and out of this world, then this is the series for you.
The series would probably be best for people who like the following books:
Fantasy, Paranormal, Fey, Fairies, Magic, Urban Fantasy, Tattoos/Markings

Some things are permanent.

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.
Somewhere between reality and myth lies…

What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Will you be interested in picking up The Twixt series, sometime in the future? If you do, then let me know! I'd love to talk to another Twixt Fan!
I LOVED the first two books in this series! Like you, I wasn't sure what to expect, so it was such a pleasant surprise. This is a good reminder that I need to read the next two books. Do you know if Invincible is the final book?
