Things have happened around me that I can't explain. I’ve never been the type to get in trouble… but trouble always finds me. Life hasn’t been easy, but I’ve survived it for the most part. At least until random dudes start showing up out of nowhere after a mugging gone wrong. Well, that’s what I tell myself. I couldn’t have seen what I thought I did that night. It’s just too crazy to even imagine… but what if it really happened? More questions arise when my best friends reveal their true nature... along with mine. I would’ve brushed it all off as a joke if more and more unexplainable things didn’t start to occur. Turns out, nothing is as it seems. Now I’m being told that I have to travel to a realm that I didn't even know existed and deal with things that I've only encountered in stories. I don’t even have my high school diploma yet, and they’re expecting me to become a freaking Avenger! I've also developed this crazy habit of claiming people as mine that starts more problems than I have time to deal with. My dating life started as an experiment, and here I am becoming a lust-filled siren overnight. Can’t complain about the options, though. Yum! Too bad I don’t have time for another experiment. Why don't I have time? Oh, Right There's an uprising happening, and it’s all because of me. My mere existence pushed the leader of the rebellion over the edge of desperation, and they’ve been looking for me since I was born. Not because they want to have me over for tea, but to kill me. Who is this person? We don’t know. I do know one thing, though… All hell is about to break loose. Literally.
"A spark to ignite" is the first book in a new series with Vesta, whose world is turned upside down when she finds out she's destined to be the queen of hell.
This series starts with a preface that completely pulled me into the story. I was lucky that this is a pretty short book because I had a very hard time putting it down before I reached the final page. In this first book, Vesta is a young woman, spending time at high school and work, trying to avoid her foster parents as much as possible. Even though she's still young, I liked her spunky character and "takes no sh..." - attitude. I've got a feeling she'll need it once she's found all seven(!) of her fated mates. I like the fact that her mates are introduced gradually and not all at once; for me a bigger harem needs that to get a decent character building in place. Another big plus to this series is the connection between Vesta and her two best friends; their banter was pretty hilarious at times.
This first book only gave a tiny glimpse into the world of hell and all the demons living there, and it made me real excited to find out more about it. I have to say I really enjoyed this first book, and I'm looking forward to the next one.
