When Blake finds out that the tattoo she has can cause danger to the people around her, she is forced to leave the only home she's ever known. Along the way she meets Hunter; a stuck up, cocky, asshole, with a dark past. Together, along with a few new friends, Blake uncovers the real reason as to why her tattoo is so 'dangerous', as well as the shocking hidden secrets of her country's history, which could forever change the future of Mertensia.

I know I'm not that great at summaries but I'd really appreciate it if you gave my book a chance. The first few chapters (especially chapter 1 & 2) aren't that great, but it gets better!

You are soooo hugging me." I teased him knowing he was indeed hugging me, but he was too stubborn to admit it. "No, I'm not." He said, pulling me even closer to him before curving his lips against the skin behind my ear. He's such a goner... ❄️ NOTE: 👀 please ignore the way the first ten chapters are written.

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos by artsykid04

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.
