The more I read, it seems the more pickier I get.. That and sometimes I'll have those moments where I'm in the mood for something and I read through blurbs to figure out what it is. Well, I found this and it definitely hit the spot for me.You find that J.B North has great talent for a young writer as the story sucks you in and leaves you eager for the next book in the series. (Please release soon!)You follow the journey of Ivy as she is just turning 17, the age that every person goes to the arena to see whether and/or what they can shift to be, Turns out that Ivy's shift turns her into something unique and there hasn't been one of her kind in a long time. From there, there's word of a prophecy that Ivy has yet to discover as she gets located to a school for the unique, and her main goal is reaching a Level 10 so she can graduate and move on to bigger and better things. But are the quests she has to do after really better than what she's doing right now? Well, she gets to find out, and along the way she learns things about her past before being an orphan.I think when the book ended, a lot of who was the good guy and who was the bad was still up in the air to me (or maybe I'm just hoping). I feel like there are some who might have been misguided or even manipulated as it shows that it's very possible for that to happen. There's a "bad" guy that I kinda hope is given this instance because I can see him being a hot character for Ivy lol. Although Spark gives more of a discovering yourself vibe, there is a smidgen of romance... Though I hope there will be more in the next book.Btw, I think it's cool when she half shifts and ends up having a bad-A dress with feathers all throughout her outfit and hair with weapons on her and, of course, the fire. Has her kickin butt in style :) (which I'm also hoping there will be more of)I think if written correctly, which I have faith J.B. can, this series can only get more interesting and I'll be reading on in this series to see.
