Ink Exchange, by Melissa Marr (HarperTeen, 2008)

All Leslie wants is to change her life for the better, disgruntled by her problematic family and unsatisfying day-to-day existence. When she gets an beautifully intricate tattoo, she feels things are finally improving. What she doesn’t realize is that the tattoo has a magical significance, and she’s being drawn into a complex power struggle between several of the Faerie Courts, used as a pawn to harvest mortal energy for the Dark Court’s nourishment. With her life spiraling out of control despite her best efforts, her friends unable to fully protect or warn her of the dangerous, and several Fae battling for her affections, only Leslie can make the right choices, not just for her, but for the Fae who have invaded her life. A darkly rich tale of hard choices and seductive pleasures, of subtle magic and immortal creatures dwelling alongside unsuspecting mortals, Ink Exchange is a worthy follow-up to Wicked Lovely and a great story in its own right.
