About the Book

Book: Of Ink and Sea

Author: Clarissa Kae

Genre: Romance with historical and paranormal elements

The Bristol Sea divides Cornwall and Wales—and sings an enticing tale to Sienna Rothesay, an
English born, American raised photographer. Since childhood, she’s fought the temptation to listen to its siren song.

When Ioan Waif, an enigmatic neighbor from her Welsh days calls her home to care for her ailing grandfather, Sienna is faced with an old myth that hints at a nefarious secret, linking her ancestors with Ioan’s.

To uncover the truth, she must walk the blurry path between legend and reality but with more questions than answers, she fears giving into her heart will cost Sienna her head.

My Thoughts:

Ok, this book wasn't what I expected...it was better. I love the cover because the sea is one of my favorite places, but it is also quite fitting to the story. The author did a great job with past and present and weaving them together to make a mystery, historical, magical story that pulls you in and doesn't let go. I was expecting a simple story but I got so much more.

Sienna is a wonderful character. The black sheep of her family, but she loves and feels deeply. I hurt for her that her grandfather that she was so close to is lost to her. The mysteries and past just pull you in and make you have questions that must be answered. Overall, great book.

5/5.

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.
