Ignite is a book full of page turning action, adventure, drama, young love, and an amazing twist to Vampires and the other paranormal beings that surround them in good and bad. All the main characters were likeable and well developed drawing into their pain, love and happiness. Set in a high school I thought I would be less impressed, but with the twist and turns offered by Ms. Davis this book is taken to another dimension that can be enjoyed by all not just YA.Without giving the best parts away, Kira is forced to spend her senior year at a new school where she meets Luke, the good guy best friend, and Tristan the bad boy and sexy as sin but bad for her. Both care for her, as she for them but which love will ultimately be stronger?Luke finally admits to Kira, who suspects there is more to Luke and Tristan’s hatred of each other, that she is right but cannot tell her more, wished he could to keep her away from Tristan, but she needs to learn the truth on her own and eventually she will.As Kira and Tristan become closer, he scares her and excites her at the same time, she yearns for him, as he for her but Tristan will not be the one to tell her the truth as she will hate him and rationally they “cant ever be” anyway.They are caught together by his “misfit” friends, that include Diana who has had a long standing love for him, they turn on K & T viciously, to have Kira release powers that she never knew she had, for Luke to come and save her from not only herself but what Kira has now realised that Tristan and his friends are vampires and things can never be between them. Kira also begins to question what she and Luke are.Luke is now forced to explain to Kira the structure of the “council” and the role of the vampires as apposed to punishers and protectors or “conduits”, to which she is a mix of both. Learning about her people Kira has a yearning to learn about her past and her true biological parents. Luke has been sent by the council to watch over and prepare Kira for what is to comeWhile at a Halloween party Kira walks in on Diana, Jerome, and John feeding on another student, childhood memories rush back to her including that of her biological parents, how they died and why she stopped using her powers and forgot all about them. Diana, J & J run off before Kira or Tristan can do anything, threatening revenge and that it will be Tristan that will carry out the death of KiraWhen a total solar eclipse is due, they realise this is what Diana was waiting for to return as without the sun conduits have nothing to channel their powers from, leaving them at the mercy of the vampires, will she succeed who will survive and who will dieWhat an ending, action packed to the extreme! Kudos to Ms. Davis for providing a true ending but leaving the possibility of continuing to the next novel open to those who wish to do so. A choice, a true authors respect for her fans. For this and the addictive storyline I will be moving onto “Simmer” myself and if it is not already obvious I do highly recommend this book…
