About this listen

Ink and Ivy is a lyrical and haunting urban fantasy novel about grief, memory, and the transformative power of art. In a quiet tattoo studio called Ivy & Needle, artist Theo Vale crafts more than just designs—he inks emotion, pain, and truth into skin. But when one of his tattoos begins to shimmer, heal, or haunt its wearer, Theo realizes his ink might be alive—and remembering things it shouldn't.

As Theo unravels the mystery of magical ink, a mentor’s disappearance, and the dark rise of synthetic tattoos spreading across the city, he is drawn into a growing war between those who respect the soul of the craft and those who exploit its power. The deeper he goes, the more he must confront his own memories, lost love, and the dangerous truth: the ink is no longer listening. It’s speaking back.

Perfect for fans of Erin Morgenstern, V. E. Schwab, and Neil Gaiman, Ink and Ivy blends poetic storytelling with gritty magical realism to explore what happens when art refuses to stay on the page—or the skin.

The narration is sublime and compliments the unfolding mystery.

“The ink doesn’t belong to us, but it listens, and I learned how to make it sing.”
The magic system and tattoo connection were picture perfect.

I loved every darkly beautiful minute.
