Of Ink and Alchemy

The Black Rabbit, Book 1

By: Sloane St. James

Narrated by: Chloe Ryan, James Cassidy

All's fair in love and war at a tattoo parlor—until a stalker enters the picture—in this deliciously dark romance from the author of the Lakes Hockey series.

Even before her father's death, Kelly Everhart always knew Logan Teller was someone she could rely on. Now he's taken over the Black Rabbit tattoo shop and brought her along with him. And while Kelly still finds her former crush and current mentor hot as hell, they're firmly in the friendzone. Or so she thinks....

Logan's been biding his time, but he's no longer leaving anything to chance—not since Kelly started getting serious with her boring boyfriend. And as Logan manipulates the situation and sabotages the couple every chance he gets, Kelly starts to notice all the ways Jason doesn't quite measure up to the man who's always been such a huge part of her life.

When her relationship with Logan suddenly goes from playful and platonic to strictly sinful, Kelly can't stop herself from falling head over heels. But just as things are heating up between them, she starts receiving anonymous messages with information only a few—including Logan—could possibly know about her. Can she trust him after all?

Of Ink and Alchemy is a dark romance with a morally gray MMC and mature content. Narrated in duet style.

WOW

This was everything I didn’t know I needed.
There was a point that I was concerned about the level of obsession and delusional thinking on Logan’s part, but it definitely made sense for his character.
If this was real life? Serious red flag.
In fiction? I guess it was just the right touch of obsession.
The duet narration was f****** fantastic. Both of them knocked it out if the park. And those steamy scenes? OMG 🔥
Sloane St. James outdid herself. Best book of hers I’ve read so far.

True love

I miss my dad….
Her reading the letters he left her.wow
Logan waited for her .
Having someone who loves you this way is beautiful. Not hiding from him because he loves you in Your worst and loves you in your best is something that once you find it you will be a lucky one .

Outstanding Top Notch

This recording has catapulted James Cassidy to the top five f my male voice actor list. All the heavy breathing, licks, sucks and kisses built a whole new level of listening for me. The female narrator was new to me but very good as well.

This book had ALL THE THINGS!!!

Really enjoyed all aspects of this story. And the duet narration was fabulous! Adding James Cassidy to my narrator list.

Lives the humor, angst and banter. And the stalker aspect let the story intriguing too!

Looking forward to the characters in the next book!!

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
