The thunder and lightning were echoes of her emotions. A relic from her past hung on a cord around her neck. Now, as she fled into the midst of the furious storm, the pendant glowed brightly, matching her own resolve to escape from a life planned for her. Everything was turned on its head. Who was she, really? She thought she knew, but then began the dreams, violent dreams, of a life she had never lived. Were they telling her future? Or her past? Evelina's quest for answers will lead her on a journey to understand who she is and the power that pulses through her.
If this book is anything to judge by, this first time author is off to a great start. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story sucked me in and and it was easy to become invested in the characters. Hot tempered Evelina and cool, calm, and collected Giorgio are perfect counter points to each other. The Baron is easy to hate. It becomes apparent that there is more to Evelina than meets the eye. Who is she really? Where does she come from? I can’t wait for the next book in the series to find out.
I love a strong female protagonist in the books I read, and Lost Spark did not disappoint! The language is very rich and descriptive, the characters were well-developed, and it was easy to get lost in this book- I read all of it in a single sitting.
Evelina, the adopted daughter of a wealthy family, slowly realizes that her past holds more magic and mystery than anyone had ever guessed. I love her friendship with Giorgio, and he is just the calming influence that a spunky, fiery girl like Evelina needs.
I loved hating the Baron. He is such a disgusting character! I always love the villains being easy to hate, and I despised him from the beginning.
