Feast of Sparks by Sierra Simone

4.0

4.5 stars
"I am the girl who kneels at night. I am the bride by thorns."

I really have no idea how Sierra Simone does this. This book left me hot and cold all over the place. This second book in the Thornchapel series is another masterpiece that needs to be devoured. It's no book you can read in between, you need to take your time as it demands your full attention from the first page to the last.

"You and Poe are like air and water, and he's earth. He's fire."

Like in the first book each of the six characters will pull you in their webs. Even though this second book focuses more on Poe, Auden and Saint, you'll also get your fill of the other three.
Specifically the attraction and releationship between Poe, Auden and Saint gets explored on a deeper level. We get to know what happened in the past and how Auden and Saint work on their forgiveness.

"I don't care how you keep me. Just keep me close"

Everything about this book keeps your mind busy. The mystery, the attraction, the unusual relationships. Sierra Simone's writing style creates a spell that binds you to the book. You won't be able to leave it. It's like Thornchapel doesn't only crawl into the characters of this book, but also into your mind.

"She looks up at him like he's just given her the moon, and it makes me want to give her the sun instead."

And let me tell you one thing: You'll start to guess and have your suspicions because of well placed hints all through the story. Trust your gut, you won't be wrong. The end will come like the huge wave you see coming but then you'll be surpised it hit so hard.

"The soul of you, Poe, is a soul made for living, and living hurts most of all."

Feast of Sparks is as hypnotic, intriguing and powerful as the first book. It will leave its marks in your mind and crawling under your skin like no other story.
