Spark by Aleatha Romig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely Phenomenal. I’ve long wanted to read Aleatha Romig, but unfortunately Spark is the first time I have been able to find a space in my blog calendar to slip her in. I know, those of you who have read her already are shaking your heads at me, and trust me, right now I am KICKING myself! Her writing was absolutely phenomenal, and I was instantly thrust into a word where kingpins run Chicago and their rule is law. This is the first book in a new trilogy—known as the Web of Desire trilogy. My understanding is this storyline comes as the third trilogy of the Sparrow’s Web series. And in complete honesty, since I’ve obviously not read these in order since that would have entailed first reading the Web of Sin trilogy followed by the Tangled Web trilogy—I understood this book as if was the first in a new trilogy and not the seventh book of a series… Great care is taken to making the plotlines clear and without completely spoiling the other books in the Sparrow’s Web series, one can still pick up Spark and understand context. Does that make sense? HA! That was a tangled web in and of itself 😉

Spark kept me on the edge of seat and was utterly unputdownable—I stayed up most of the night to finish this one. Patrick and Madeline’s connection was tangible, with so much heat and sizzle, I worried my kindle (and my panties😉) were in jeopardy or self-combustion!!! The plot has me so intrigued that I am ready to reread this one just days after finishing it. It’s incredibly sexy, entertaining, and suspenseful enough to make it that book that hasn’t been far for my mind in more than a week. I’m consumed with desire to binge read the author—and for a blogger that rarely goes a day without an ARC to read and review, that’s a major problem. 😉 I can’t say enough good things about the book, but I also am hesitant to say much at all as it’s the kind of book you should go into blind. The less you know ahead of time, the more you are going to want to dive into this fantastic story. Also, I don’t want to give ANYTHING away. Spoilers suck and I’m the blogger that’s the least likely to take a chance on ruining a book for a reader.

Whether you are new—or a longtime fan—of Aleatha Romig, SPARK is the book you must, you absolutely MUST one-click. Right. Now. If I could hand this book more stars than the five I gave it for review purposes, I totally would. Oh, but definitely watch out for the cliffhanger…Aleatha definitely left Flame at the top of my February MUST READS!
