Ink Blood Sister Scribe
by Emma Törzs
Why read it
It is an inventive contemporary fantasy tailored for lovers of rare volumes, esoteric archives, and tightly guarded family mysteries. The story follows two estranged half-sisters bound to a hidden library of spellbooks written in human blood, threading multiple perspectives across secluded Vermont woods, icy Antarctic research stations, and grand English estates into an intricate, character-driven puzzle.
Where to get it
In the Netherlands, you can listen to the English audiobook narrated by Saskia Maarleveld on Storytel, Nextory, Kobo Plus, Audible, or via the Bibliotheek (online library app) if cataloged. For physical English editions or ebooks, check Bol.com, Athenaeum Boekhandel, the American Book Center (ABC), or Waterstones in Amsterdam.
What to expect
Atmospheric and moody, starting at an unhurried, scene-setting pace before accelerating into a tense, twisty urban fantasy mystery. Accessible and modern in prose style, with multiple alternating points of view. Content notes include graphic violence, blood magic, parental death, isolation, and romantic subplots.
