The tatu enables them to have supernatural powers particular to the shape of their ink-art. Both of her parents were inked, though Rae never knew, as they passed away when she was young.

My Thoughts
In most families elders try to keep their kids from getting tattoos, but in this family it’s a must.
This story has tons of action and is also a bit of a coming of age story. Rae is learning fast that her family is much more than she ever believed it was and much more dangerous.  Through Rae’s journey to find out the truth about her family and trying to stay alive she learns more about herself. The characters growth can be seen throughout the story and I really liked her character.
The adventure and suspense in this story had me captivated right from the start. I highly recommend “Rae of Hope” to lovers of fantasy/suspense.
