If you have been reading this series then you should be hoping for the happily ever after ending just as I am! Guess what?! It doesn’t end with this book! If you love cliff hangers, this is absolutely the best series for it!
Ignition continues along the same lines as Candlelight and Luminosity. Nathan and Jasmine are still trying to figure out how to beat the demons and be together. We are introduced to many new magical creatures and most of them want to kill Jasmine. However while Jasmine figures out a little more of her powers she is still having trouble understanding that she is more powerful than all of the creatures and demons, which is why they keep trying to get to her.
Nathan is less demon-like in this story. While he uses some powers that he has, he doesn’t use them in the normal evil way we know from book one and he doesn’t use them against Jas. It seems like he is a back character, almost. I don’t think he, or Jasmine, understand what the two of them together could do. They are still trying to figure out their feelings towards each other. I have a feeling that when they do finally get it together there will be an explosion and no one will be able to touch them. (At least that’s what I’m hoping for!)
The first book brought out a lot of negative feelings for me and this one gives me a little more hope that good will prevail. And then the Stevenson family returns!
I’m hoping that the next book will bring us the closure we need answer all of our questions and even give Jasmine the family she is looking for. I can only imagine the power they will have with her!

The drama continues in Part 2 of Stacy McWilliams Escaping Demons Saga, with Ignition sucking me in again for one heck of a ride. As it has come to be expected, Jasmines topsy turvy tunnel through life has not get any better.

“Jas, by falling on love with you, I may well have signed our death warrants.”


Jasmine keeps getting treated like scum by the Stevenson’s, Nathan included. The hot and cold that is their relationship is really starting to take it’s toll on her. How much more can she endure before she breaks? But her strength is unimaginably strong, and she will fight with everything she has to come away from this in one piece.

“I am so sorry, that is all I can say at the moment. Please don’t give up on us. We have an amazing future together and we will be amazing when we get away from them.”


My heart breaks for Jasmine. Nathan repeatedly rips her heart out and stomps on it, only to apologise and beg for forgiveness straight after. She is getting more and more bewildered by his behaviour, and cannot keep laying her feelings out for him, only for him to have no regard for them.

At the start of this saga, I was enjoying the books as they were different from what I have been reading and provided quite a refreshing change. Nothing too dramatic stood out, except for the violence. I was just enjoying something new. But the incredible thrill I got at uncovering the many layers that make up this story, was so unexpected, it made it even more special. My heart was in my throat most of the time, trying to anticipate what was to happen next. What more can this author add to Nathan and Jasmine’s saga to make it even more epic? Stacy McWilliams just kept building the almost unbearable intensity until I thought I could not take anymore, but still she had my total attention, and like a sponge, I just had to absorb more.

“Jas baby, wake up please. I can’t do this without you. I didn't know how dark my soul was until you walked into my life in a burst of colour. You lit up the darkest parts of me, bringing me into the light and guiding my way while I adjust to the brightness.”


What a deeply emotional and intense experience reading this saga has been for me. It was so astoundingly good, it will be a struggle to find something else to read. A true talent this author is, and I will not be able to stop thinking about her work for an incredibly long time.

As Ignition ended in a cliffhanger, I will be holding my breath for the next addition to this saga.
