The Ink That Bleeds is a cozy lighthearted paranormal romance with a splash of mystery.
When Amihan gets a letter that she inherited a bookstore on an island in the pacific northwest, it pulls her back to the small town she grew up in. The previous shop owner was murdered, and Amihan teams up with the town sheriff and her past academic rival, Lucien, to solve the case.
This is the type of book you could spend a sunny afternoon devouring on the porch, or a cozy night in by the fireplace. Fast paced with lovable characters, I finished this book in one sitting!
I loved the diversity between these two covers. There was ample BIPOC rep, as well as trans rep with our supporting main character sheriff Mel. The plot was engaging and the lighthearted romance had me blushing and smirking at certain moments.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cozy short mysteries, grumpy sunshine dynamic, and paranormal romance.
4.5/5⭐️
