I received this through a Read and Reap Program so I want to thank the author for the opportunity to read this book, there were a few spelling and grammar issues but not enough to deter me from finishing it. Ignite gives a new twist on vampires with the protagonist having lived her life oblivious to the fact that she is a "conduit" for sunlight making her a deadly weapon to vampires but also giving her blood a force that makes vampires immune to the very thing that makes her deadly. The prologue confused me a little in the beginning and the author is slow to reveal the storyline so I became frustrated just as the main character is frustrated about who she truly is, why she is able to do what she does, and why won't the two people who do know tell her. The "revealing" and the rest of the story come together nicely, the characters are likeable, and the story gives something different to the vampire genre. The love triangle is a little predictable but it ends in a cliffhanger giving the reader something to look forward to in this series. I would have given it a 3.5 however I felt the author really dragged the revealing out or the "blindsiding" if you like that she gave her main character.
