Feast of Sparks

Thornchapel, Book 2

By: Sierra Simone

Narrated by: Sara Ormenyi, Zachary Webber

Fate wasn't supposed to have plans for me. I'm an outcast, a loner. The boy named for death who never quite started to live. But then, Poe came back - the girl I once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods.

She brought back memories long buried, and I could no more resist her than I could pry out my own heart. She brought up secrets and set rituals into motion. She brought me to the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest. And then, she found the bones.

The only thing Auden and I can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants us to find a way to be together - all three of us. But the past casts a long shadow. Eight years ago, I did something terrible to Auden. He hurt me back the only way he knew how. And so here we are. Our hatred seasoned with pain and my loneliness spiked with longing.

If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn me, as well. That was the promise he made. But with the carnal revel of Beltane fast approaching, it's becoming clear that Thornchapel's secrets are much deeper and older than any of us could have ever guessed. They're making us complicit. And they will have a cost.

Because, no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it's always followed by ashes. And darkness.

Feast of Sparks is book two in the Thornchapel series.

Incredible. This is a masterpiece.

Eloquent. Elegant, and messy at the same time. Sexy. Enticing. Contemplative. Philosophical.

This book is just really amazing. I'm so impressed!

I wish the third book was available in audio format already. I'm definitely going to read the print version though, because I can't wait to see what happens next. The fourth and final book is available in print on 11/30, and I'm pre-ordering that now too.

What a story! It's so rich and dense. The prose is wonderful. I can't stop gushing, pun very much intended.

Evolving Story

Zachary Webber’s narrating is balm for the soul as a break from Sara’ s narrating. Some of Poe’s chapters seem long and monotonous. I’m hanging in there for Sierra Simone to solve some of the mysteries at Thorn Chapel.

Just Gorgeous (and too literary for the genera)

The ending is deeply polarizing, so if you're easily put off, don't bother, but if you enjoy a true surprise ending and aren't easily squicked, this book goes places other series shy away from. It reads much more like literary fiction than romance/ erotica, so buckle up for a lot of beautifully felt feelings and musings on religion (and very little plot).

she did it again!

there are few authors that can weave a story together like Sierra Simone. and few like Zachary Webber that can bring the story to life. Im just as involved in this series as I've been in her other work. I felt that ending coming as we inched near bit to hear I blew my mind!! well done!!

✨✨✨⭐️ I found a way to suffer through slowing down the females parts x.75

Sara Ormenyi delivery was all wrong for this book sadly as it was in the in the first book she narrated- but I found a way to get past her too swift cadence, oddly upbeat at the wrong times, when the tone was more severe and by slowing down the speed to x.75 it allows me to enjoy her again. Zachary is perfect at regular speed and is fantastic in this role, he’s playing multiple parts and doing them justice. Love Sierra Simones writing and her poetic descriptions, lyrical prose, emotional and moving character study of this group of friends experiences so much. Sexy read, as expected with a priest involved...lol. Hopefully the narration won’t cause you issues but try my slow method - playback speed. I need to go back and listen to the first one as it’s been so long ago now and I can’t remember anything that happened. Wish they would release these closer together. Enjoy✨✨✨⭐️.
