But then things become way more complicated. So when she finds out the tattooist artist who did her tattoos she knows where to start. She doesn’t know who she is or who she was. She can do the basics of life but remember anything about her life isn’t going to come easy. Repeat follows protagonist Clementine after she tries to put her life together after an attack leaves her with no memory of her life before. Repeat first came out as an audible audiobook in January, but now you can get the ebook. So when I heard that she was bringing out a new book that also included a tattooist artist as a love interest – I knew that I needed it. Over the past couple of years, I’ve slowly been making my way through Kylie Scott books – and I’ve really enjoyed all that I’ve read. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book. I received an e-arc of Repeat by Kylie Scott from InkSlinger PR ink exchange for an honest review. Should they walk away for good, or does their love deserve a repeat performance? Repeat: The last thing he needs is more heartache, but he can’t seem to let her go again. Now she has to figure out who she was and why she made the choices she did – which includes leaving the supposed love of her life, tattoo artist Ed Larsen, only a month before.Įd can hardly believe it when his ex shows up at his tattoo parlour with no memory of their past, asking about the breakup that nearly destroyed him. When a vicious attack leaves 25-year-old Clementine Johns with no memory, she’s forced to start over.

But we've yet to learn why he lives incognito and whether Kvothe found his vengeance against the seven deadly beings known as The Chandrian who killed his family long ago. In the first two books of the Chronicle we've learned of Kvothe's studies at a university of magic, his entanglements with the non-human Fae and troubles in both high and low society, as he's pinched between Vintish nobles and Imre loansharks. In The Kingkiller Chronicle the bard Kvothe tells the story of his life (each novel a single day of recounting) from the tavern where he lives in self-imposed exile, under an assumed name.
