Wow. That was really weird and different. Indelible is oozing with originality! I don't even know what to call the paranormal beings, other than Scribes, which is the only word we're given for Ink and Inq. They're not human, but they're not really...living things either. They're just there, and only those with "the Sight" can see them. Joy happens to be gifted with the Sight, but upon seeing the Scribe duo, Ink immediate tries to blind her. Literally. He stabs her in the eye. Talk about a great introduction! Afterward, strange people keep showing up and telling Joy to give strange messages to Ink. What in the world is going on?

I loved how unique Indelible was, but I think some of the uniqueness needed to be explained better, which is why I didn't rate it higher. I'm still very confused as to what exactly the purpose of the Scribes are. They both repeatedly say how they have to be perfect and can never, ever mess up, or else they'll be replaced and cease to exist. They go around putting "signaturae" on humans, but I wasn't completely sure what this meant and why it was important. Something about the Folk putting claims on them, but why? And who are "the Folk"? I got that they were magical beings, but nothing more than that. And why do some humans have the Sight, and what's the point of it? It just seems to get Joy into trouble. This made it hard to follow the plot at times which was about a rogue Folk sneaking their signaturae onto the humans for world domination or something.

I did really enjoy the romance though. Yes, it's insta-love, but I was instantly in love with Ink, too. Well, I found him extremely adorable and interesting, so I assume Joy did also. Like I said before, he and his sister aren't human, nor are they actually alive. However, Inq has been observing humans for a long time and always keeps them around so she can learn to live. Ink, on the other hand, never saw the point until he accidentally marked Joy. Then he spends a lot of time studying her in order to make alterations to his appearance and look more human, and figuring out emotions and stuff. I just found him really endearing.

Indelible was incredibly unique, and I really liked it. I just needed more out of the world building to love it and be less confused. There's a lot going on as strange creatures are out to get Joy in order to get to Ink. They have plenty of death defying escapes that kept the story moving along at a nice pace. The romance was sweet, if fast. The plot doesn't really pick up until the last third or so, but I found it interesting even if it was confusing at times. I'll definitely be continuing this series though.

Indelible is the first book in Dawn Metcalf's new series the Twixt. Joy Malone is still dealing with her parents splitting up, her older brother Stef being away at college and quitting gymnastics. But she's trying her best to put her troubles behind her and move on with her life. One night while dancing at a club with her best friend Monica, Joy notices all-black eyes. The all-black eyes belong to a lean guy with spiky hair and the girl next to him could be his twin since she looks just like the guy, matching hair except whiteless eyes. Joy just figures they're Goths who just have freaky contacts. However the guy is disturbed by how Joy can "see" him and all of a sudden he tries to cut Joy's eye!

Joy is shocked and cries for help but by the time help arrives, the two Goth kids are gone. Joy can't explain what happened to her or to her dad. She knows that telling him the truth would just worry him more so she tells him something fell from the ceiling. Still Joy knows something really weird and scary is going on. She keeps meeting these weird strangers who call her Ink's Lehman and tell her to give Ink their messages. Unfortunately for Joy, she has no clue why these weird strangers call her Lehman or who Ink is but after a run in with a aether sprite who was furious at Joy for not delivering his message to Ink, Joy feels like she desperately needs answers as to what is happening to her before she has a complete meltdown. Luckily Ink and his sister Inq appear and answer Joy's accusations and questions.

Ink and Inq tell Joy that since she has the True Sight that's the only way she can see them when no one else can. And that the old rule is, if they come across someone with the Sight, they should remove that person's eyes so that they can have a more normal life. Of course this doesn't comfort Joy at all. However, Joy is told by Inq that since Ink didn't take away her sight or blind her Joy now wears his signatura and that since Joy's signatura wasn't an ordered mark she must pretend to be Ink's Lehman to cover up Ink's mistake. Now in order to survive, Joy must be Ink's Lehman and she must be indispensable to Ink so she can continue to live and protect her family.

I liked Indelible. Metcalf creates a new paranormal universe in this book and it's nice to read something completely different for a change. It was interesting to read about Ink and Inq's work and their signaturae. And how when Joy spent time in their world it was only a second in her world.

I liked Joy and I sympathized with her. She was in a rough spot with her parents divorcing, her older brother being away at college and not answering his phone and her best friend being busy with her new boyfriend. She was feeling abandoned by everyone and hurting. Not to mention, she was living a normal life before all this weird stuff started happening to her. But Joy met those challenges head on and tried her best to be Ink's Lehman. I had to respect her for that. I also liked Ink. He was strange, curious and shy. Joy and Ink made a cute couple together. I think they balanced each other out pretty well.

Still while I liked Indelible I didn't love it like I was expecting too. I did like Joy but she annoyed me a bit too. I felt like Joy's narration was a little bit strange for a 21st century girl. Just the way she described some things didn't sound like it was a teenage girl of this century speaking. Like when Joy is describing squirrels on her roof she says that they made a "nervous tickle" on her roof. I just thought that was a strange way for a teenage girl to describe something.

Also I thought that in some parts of the book some things weren't described enough. Like Joy's trip to Forty-eight Deer Run. She finds out while she's at school it's a nearby address so she decides to go and then she's halfway way there. She doesn't say anything about skipping class or that school just ended so I was confused as to what time of day it was. And the whole time monsters and weird people were leaving Joy messages to give to Ink in the beginning of the book, I though it was really strange that not once did Joy think that the guy who stabbed her in the eye could be Ink.

Joy being upset with her family for keeping secrets from her made me sympathize with her and made me a little annoyed with her too. I think Joy had every right to be mad at her mom for leaving her dad for a younger man and that if Stef really knew about it she deserved to be mad at him too. Her dad putting her mom's notes in her room without telling her made her mad and she was right to feel that way. But while I sympathized with Joy being upset with everyone keeping secrets from her I couldn't help but feel she was being a little hypocritical when she herself was keeping secrets. I mean her secrets were way bigger than any of her family's and it was for their safety that she kept those secrets but I couldn't help but feel she was being a tiny bit hypocritical.

Joy and Ink's relationship bothered me a bit by how fast they kinda got together. Joy is scared and mad at him for putting her through all the Lehman stuff (and boy does she have a right) and Ink is not very sorry or sympathetic for his actions but after watching Joy do gymnastics in a field and she sees him watching her they start to fall for each other and I thought that was a little too fast for them to just get over their hostel feelings for each other.

I give this 3 stars.
This is a fun read. Starts with the perky teenage girl Joy confronted by the "Folk" boy called Ink. What can do wrong there, except Joy shouldn't be able to see him and his sister in the first place. And then their worlds collide. Ms. Metcalf a superb job of introducing the concept of Signaturae in place of true names which as we know hold such tremendous power in the fae world. I like her characters, the Bailiwick, Kurt, Ink and Inq, oh, and the cabana boys.

I kind of frowned at the car sceen(s). What about the whole iron is like krytonite thing for the Other Worlders? This was causally mentioned in the sequel. It doesn't hurt the story. And why do we read fantasy in the first place? Because the author has a license to create imaginary worlds with whatever governing rules that he/she likes.

I enjoyed the read. And immediately started Invisible, the second book in the trilogy.
