Recommendation Fridays: The Twixt by Dawn Metcalf

   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

 Indelible by Dawn Metcalf

Release Date: July 30th, 2013

Description from GoodReads:

   Some things are permanent.

   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.

   Somewhere between reality and myth lies…

Review:

Contains Spoilers:

   A life that burns twice as hot burns half as long.

   I had originally won Indelible in a giveaway and didn't read it right away. Later when I did I just adored it. You can be as creative as you'd like when you use fairies. The worlds, the characters, and even the magic. Which is exactly what Dawn has done with Indelible and Invisible.

The Twixt fascinated me, the laws, creatures, all of it. My favourite being the signatura. To think that each thing a person has done is marked on their bodies showing what the've done. Besides protection, I think being able to see the signatura would be very helpful to helping one protect themselves by staying away from the wrong kinds of people. It would definitely protect people from rape, or maybe even a simple heartbreak.

   Joy frustrated me so much in Invisible. She held back so much information, (The unknown tattoo on her back, her working for Graus Claude) from Ink that it was obvious that she was going to get in trouble from him. Which she did, all her secrets whiplashed right back at her. I understand that Ink was new to the whole human thing, but her keeping secrets that could hurt her would obviously make him mad as well as get her in trouble. Especially when it went against the rules of The Twixt for one part. All Ink wanted was to keep her safe. Joy's actions in Invisible made Ink discover the human act of betrayal.

   The big reveal that happened in the book that Joy was part Twixt was understandable, but what intrigued me was, what did Joy give up of herself to get her true name? Filly said to become part fey there was a few things Joy would need to do. Giving up a part of herself was a major one, so it pains me to think of what it was. Dawn left us with so many options that I wouldn't know where to begin.

Finally my favourite scene in the book was the epilogue. It was the cutest thing ever, and it certainly played with my heart. All Joy wanted through out the book was to finally be able to be truly with Ink, as well as have everyone see him. She got her wish, and it made me feel all touchy feely.

Many secrets were uncovered in Invisible, along with many joyful and scaring moments. I will never be able to get Invisible out of my head, it's left a scar so I'll unquestionably be counting down the days until Insidious releases.
