Synopsis (Goodreads):

INKED BY A MONSTER—sounds cool, right? Until the guy accidentally imprinted on me. What was supposed to be a birthday gift to myself backfired in my face.

How was I to know when I told him ‘surprise me’ that the fine-ass monster man would somehow embed his essence into my tattoo.

Or that I’d come from his skilled fingers tapping a needle full of ink into my back.

Now, ever since my tat-gasm, the guy follows me like a love-sick puppy…

Intriguing me.

Idolizing me.

Impaling me.

But I don’t do insta-love, no matter how hot the s-e-x is.

Can I find a way to remove the tat, or will Ilian infiltrate the walls I’ve built around my heart?

Thoughts on Inked by the Ithaqua: Frigid weather, tattoos, and a monster who puts A LOT of himself into his work are up and Ilian and Zhuliya are REALLY FREAKING SWEET TOGETHER. They also have a few hurdles to get over before things work the way they need to work.

What does that mean? Well, Ilian's current home has laws against monsters and humans being together. Which is a bit problematic since Zhuliya and Ilian have a very hard time keeping their hands off one another. They're also on a bit of a quest that takes them to strange lands and has them facing interesting obstacles. Plus, PLUS gods and goddesses keep inserting themselves into situations (which is awkward with the aforementioned not being able to keep their hands off each other thing Ilian and Zhuliya had going on).

Some serious tattooing, an interesting train ride, a monster who is willing to take any hit to keep his special someone happy, and a lady who was dreaming about her monster long before she actually met him. GOOD STUFF!
