In a world where soulmates wear tattoos that mark their biggest life events, 15-year-old Nico's ink tells a tragic story. After a car accident takes his mom and sister, Bianca, his dad spirals into darkness, using violence as a way to cope. 

To escape the pain, Nico turns to damaging his own body to cope, using anything he can find to numb the hurt. He tries to be strong for his little sister, Hazel, but as the chaos at home escalates, he feels himself slipping further away.

Then there's Will, 16 and a light in the darkness. His tattoo shines with hope, and he feels an unexplainable connection to Nico. Will sees the signs of Nico's struggles and wants to help, but Nico is terrified of letting anyone in after everything he's been through.

When a moment of desperation leads Nico to confront his father in a deadly struggle, he's left free but drowning in guilt and isolation. Hazel moves to California to escape the pain, and Nico is left to navigate the mess of his life alone.

As Nico and Will begin to forge a connection, Nico realizes that healing is possible-even when it feels like the world is against him.

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos by artsykid04
15 parts Complete Mature
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm. So if you feel uncomfortable with reading about that.. this book is not for you.
