Ink Witch by Lindsey Sparks writing as Lindsey Fairleigh

Rating: WARTY!

"To save her brother's soul, immortal assassin Kat Dubois will have to come out of retirement." So already we're knee-deep in trope with a main charcter named "Kat" and a main character coming out of retirment. Yawn. Is there anything here that's even remotely original? And what's with the dishonesty over the author name? How many frigging names does an author need before they can be accused of purposefully misleading readers? Or do they think their readers are so dumb they won't eventually find out it's the same person? The blurb asks stupidly, "can she find her brother before it's too late?" but who gives a shit? Especially if the author is so unimaginative that she's forced to retread the most tediously go-to purportedly bad-ass female name for a witch slash demon hunter slash paranormal girl. Yawn. That tells me everything I need to know about this waste of my time.
