Amy's Thoughts~

I was really worried about how this book was going to play out. I was pleasantly surprised with how Brooke chose to finish it. Velaney has to make some tough decisions in this book that directly affect her relationship with Eric. The problem is, she does it without talking to him about it first. Vel has a tendency to take Independence to an extreme. Her learning that relationships are all about talking and compromising is a painful one. They would have avoided a lot of their problems has she chosen to talk to him instead of taking matters into her own hands.

There was some WOW surprises in this one too, ones I didn't see coming. Vel's mom is a straight up witch with a B. I would have like to have seen how things worked out with Vel's father after everything that happened.

Overall, Brooke did a great job with Velaney and Eric. I like how Eric stepped up to the plate. Yea, he had a few panic attack moments, but he did good job of bouncing back.

If you haven't checked out Spark & Burn, go. Don't miss Velaney & Eric's story!
