And three of the most dangerous have descended upon Edinburgh…
Tattoo artist, RILEY POE, has changed. After surviving the bites of three potent Strigoi, she has acquired traits from each that parallel those of the most lethal of vampires. Her strength,...more

Black Fallen, by Elle Jasper, is the fourth book in the Dark Ink Chronicles. It is really the start of a new story cycle that finds Riley leaving behind her Inksomnia business to fight evil in the world.
If you haven’t read Eventide, please ignore the next part of my review.

This was ok, and the story kept me engaged while I was reading it, but looking back there were more cons than pros.
The series made an abrupt turn and many of the good things about the series (New Orleans, the cast of characters there, Riley's work, even the good relationship stuff) were all missing from this as she and Eli packed up and went to Edinburgh to help a team of supernaturals try to defeat the Black Fallen there. The new team is not as engaging as the crew back in New Orleans, and the...more

I think it is time to break up with this series. While I have read all of them so far, none have gotten above a 2 star rating from me, nothing great, but not bad either. I am not sure of the new direction this book seems to be taking. It doesn't help that in the 60 pages that I have read, I have put down the book 4 times, each time getting harder to pick back up. Normally I can read a book like this in one sitting. I find myself bored with them arriving at the school, the training and don't real...more
Wow. 4.5 stars. I just... wow.
Oh. My. Word. As I sit, rocking in the fetal position, I want to beg Ms. Jasper to allow me to read even the ROUGH DRAFT for the next title in the Dark Ink Chronicles series. Black Fallen, the newest title in the series, takes the reader on a rollercoaster of emotions and a flurry of activity. While we do learn more about the characters we've come to love, we meet more characters, and (temporarily?) say goodbye to others. While this is the fourth title in the serie...more

I loved this series when it first started, but the last two novels have been transition books and I didn't love them in the same way. Riley Poe is a kick-butt tattoo artist from Savannah, Georgia. She has had not the easiest life while raising her brother and running half a business. In the beginning novels of this series we see Riley get bit by not one but two strong vampires (strigoi).
She is not all together human anymore and she, her lover (Eli Dupre), her brother, and various other people a...more

It’s been a long road for Riley. At this point she’s gone from a very human, rockin tattoo artist to a semi human who has had 4 different vampires bite her…and only one of those was by choice. She’s learning how to adjust to these new found abilities she has acquired with the help of her incredibly sexy fiance, Eli.
Faced with an opportunity to become something more, she leaves behind her home to help a whole new set of friends across the globe. Riley must learn to trust and control her abilities...more

I have been a great fan of this series, I love Eli and Riley, loved both characters as I watched their relationships form. Black Fallen is the fourth installment and a kind of new path for Riley and co - I say co because there are a lot of new characters to come to terms with in this book as well as a new way of life for Riley because being part of the Worldwide Unexplained Phenomenon, (WUP) removes her from her Inking background.
We know by now that Riley is not quite as human as she was, having...more

Rated 4.5 ~ Also posted at TBR Mountain Range.
An addictive paranormal series, THE DARK INK CHRONICLES books keep you up all night, wondering what will happen next. BLACK FALLEN continues Riley Poe’s adventure and leaves you grasping for more.
I didn’t think it was possible, but Elle Jasper has written another mind-numbing, soul-sucking paranormal thriller that nails you to the wall. As for the DARK INK CHRONICLES as a series, I bet you can’t read just one!

Honestly I'm still trying to figure this one out. I liked it. I'm torn between 3.5 and 4.It takes a couple of chapters to get use to the nonstop descriptions of everything. Its been awhile since the last book and I was trying to remember what happened last time. Anyway I was kinda bummed that there wasn't enough Eli and that there was soooo much training and just talking. I wanted more of Riley and Eli and less of the other stuff.

At the end of EVENTIDE I was quite excited about the fact that there would be a change of scenery for the series and the crew was going to Edinburgh, joining another team and hunting a different set of baddies.
Then BLACK FALLEN rolls around and at the beginning I thought it was all interesting, going to see new places and learning new things. Except that the learning curve got stuck there for a while. It felt like about half the book was an exer...more

I am disappointed that another paranormal romance author has found it necessary to follow the 'celestial' path. The frequent, repetitive, and seemingly gratuitous, sex scenes were another disappointment; I was not reading this book for the sex scenes, but for the story which seemed choppy and disjointed. The story flow was not helped by the introduction of a large number of new characters, and a resolution that seemed trite.
Ok so I just finished this and was shocked with what happened with Eli that I was like WTH just happened!! I felt the same thing as Riley and kept thinking he would some how turned up! I thought this was the last book but I am glad it is not the last one now I am going to be sad to have wait for the next book!! I know Riley will get Eli back because that has to happen!!!
Riley is a kick ass human with tendencies engage to a vampire. She joins a group made up of vampires, werewolves, and immortals who go after the bad guys and to save the human race. Life was never easy for Riley and just when she has everything she wants, life throws her another disappointment. The book was fun and entertaining.
I put off reading this book because I knew I'd be dying for more and I was so right.
This is a complicated read that I really had to focus on but it was worth every hour, minute and second.
Riley is my hero, she's a kick ass, ask questions later type of girl and she's fiercely loyal to those she loves. And she'd die to protect everyone of them.
There are new and exciting characters who are easy to love and to admire.
There's action and passion and love and loss.

This book should come out early in my opinion, I want to read this twist in the series so bad. I think adding new "supernaturals" will greatly increase my love of this series. If it just stayed on vampires I think that it would have just been stuck in a loop. Adding something different, like the black fallen, I think will help Riley discover the full extent to her new tendencies.... I know I cant wait to discover them!!!!!!
Beautifully written and amazing addition to the prior ones. It captivates the audience, brings them further into Riley's chaotic world and makes the reader beg for more. The twists of events keeps you on your toes page after page. How I ache for Riley, Eli, and Vic. Athios I did not expect but believe he's got a place in my heart now as well.
Well, it definitely kept my interest, otherwise it would probably be 3 stars. I'm disappointed in the short length. Every action scene seemed lacking. It was clear the book ended where it did to have the cliff hanger, which hurt, but is understandable. But the book could have been longer just based on everything that happened so quickly.
I believe this series is getting better and better. Actually it seems like the author started a new series like spinoff which is awesome.I'm angry about Eli and Vic. Come on seriously with her behavior and Athios. I'm hoping the next book clears it up because this book has a huge cliffhanger.
