I was supposed to go to Wales for my 40th birthday which is this month January 2021. But COVID happened. Instead, I delved into Wales for a setting and never looked back.

My Thoughts

Of Ink and Sea by Clarissa Kae is the first book that I have read by this author. It was a bit different then what I normally read. This book falls into a romance with historical and paranormal elements genre. Main character Sienna Rothesay is the outcast of the family. She has a talent for photography. She is different then everyone else and the only one that has not disowend her is her grandfather. He goes to the same beat she does. She has been close to him - and now he can't remember who she is. When her old friend from across the pond, Ioan Morgannwg, requests for her assistance in her failing grandfather Sienna has to confront her past. The pain, the hurt, and her family. Every secret, past and present, will reveal themselves.

This book has great character development. The writing flows nicely. I enjoyed trying to back track through Sienna's history and how she got to where she was.

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging program - all thoughts are my own.
