Start a Fire

The Savage Crew, Book 1

De: J. Wolf

Narrado por: Allie Piper, Gideon Frost

I have my senior year planned: keep my head down, don’t make any waves, and get the diploma. I’ve done the popularity thing at Savage River High, but after two years away, I have no interest in reclaiming my crown.

The last time I put myself in the spotlight, I was left in shambles.

Unfortunately, my carefully laid plans go to hell when I grab the attention of dark, forbidding, and brutally hot Sebastian Vega. He looks at me like he wants to kill my puppy or eat me alive. Quite possibly both.

Sebastian is everywhere I go, and he’s decided I’m the twisted game he wants to play, whether I’m a willing participant or not.

The question is...what will I have to lose in order to win?

Author's Note: This is a dark high school bully romance with mature themes and dubious situations that some listeners may find offensive. If you’re looking for a nice guy prince of a hero, this story isn’t for you.

Great story

This was so good I couldn’t stop listening. I only wish that the male narrator would read more than just the epilogue.

Proceed with caution

I cannot stress how much I appreciate when an author warns the reader of triggering content. I knew going in there was an issue of consent, and normally I am that reader that wouldn't even dabble in questionable consent, and I would not finish a book if it got to be too uncomfortable for me. I liked the twist at the end, but even still, this is definitely a book to proceed with caution on if you struggle with non consensual encounters. It's a topic that's never fully dropped throughout the book, and the heroine frequently minds that the hero can, could and has already taken what he wanted regardless of consent. Yet, for some insane reason, not quite as insane as the heroine, I couldn't stop listening the narration is perfect. There is good reason why it's primarily 1 POV, and it really makes sense in the end. If you can get past the trigger, it's a good read.

The Obsession We Seek

Brilliant. The stalker that isn't. The one we want to be wanted by. Lovely performance of a book I couldn't put down. I can't wait to listen to the whole series!!!

Fantastic story

I knew before I started this audio book that it was going to love it and as expected Julia Wolfe did not disappoint. I keep thinking that her writing and story-telling cannot possibly get any better but it does each and every time.

This is a story about Grace Patel and Sebastian Vega, they are 18 year old high school seniors who are both had tragedies in their past. Grace’s tragedies had her leaving her high school and moving to another country with her parents. Two years later another tragedy has Grace and her mother coming back to the US and Grace having to go back to her High School. Grace has changed and is hoping to get thru her senior year but her past has other plans. This book is from Graces POV.

Sebastian Vega is a hot, angry brooding young man who seems to be anywhere Grace happens to be. We do not get Sebatians POV during this story and usually I am not a fan of single POV.s but with this story I am so glad it was written this way, it helped to keep the mystery of Sebastian going.


Sebastiabn and Grace have an instant attraction which Grace tries to avoid, but she is drawn to him much to her annoyance.

Their attraction It isn't straightforward and not without its hiccups but it is a journey as a reader you NEED in your life! Start A Fire is an absolutely fantastic audio book.

This book deals with two scenes of dubious consent (one in the past and one in the present) and may be a trigger for some, just know that Julia Wolfe dealt with the issue in a sensitive manor.

Great Read

Loved this book, loved the narration. Wished they had Bash narration in more chapters than the epilogue. Downloaded the other books after this one.

Why the voice on epilogue

I enjoyed the story the only thing I disliked in my opinion was the male voice that did the epilogue.

OH BASH....The things you say....

If I thought reading this book was good, listening to it was even better! GAH ....all of those DARK, EDGY, AND BEAUTIFUL vibes are brilliantly showcased and I loved every single moment of it!

There are tons of school bully books and school romance books out there, but it takes a great author to come up with a way to make theirs stand out... That being said, Start A Fire is one of the best ones out there and you need to get your hands on it NOW! It's dark, it's intense, and sweetly romantic in a twisted and deliciously warped way!

When Grace Patel returns to Savage River High for her senior year, she wants nothing more than to fly under the radar, graduate, and pursue her art in college. What she dosen't expect is to have caught the eye of Savage River’s resident bad boy Sebastian (Bash) Vega, a guy who gives scary and intense a whole new meaning...

Grace's future plans don't include King bully Vega's mind games or his obsessive behavior. Bash's intense hatred and dubious intentions leave Grace confused as she struggles against her undeniable attraction for him.....

Sebastian Vega is the ultimate antihero. Tough, unyielding, dark, and sometimes scary...he's an intimidating and intriguing presence. You can't help but want to peel away at his layers to discover what lies beneath his carefully constructed persona.

Grace Patel is my favorite kind of heroine. She's tough, strong, yet vulnerable. She has a maturity beyond her years and knows what she wants. Sebastian pushes her at every turn and despite the confusing feelings he creates within her, she stands up for herself and doesn't take any of his crap.

Honestly, once you start listening to this book, you'll find it hard to stop. The overwhelming feelings of teenage attraction and emotions just pour off the page. It pushes boundaries and will definitely give you mixed feelings over sensitive subject matters ultimately resulting in one incredible story that is one hell of a ride...

Equally dark, edgy, and beautiful this story is completely unforgettable and an absolute MUST READ! I can't wait to see more from the Savage River Crew because I'm definitely here for ALL OF IT!!

The narrative of this audio hit me with all the tingling vibes I experienced while I was listening! There was nothing better than hearing my sweet psycho Bash!

This is one audio that I'll be listening to over and over again!

great book, great listen

I previously read this book, and loved it! listening to it, I fell in love with it again! I knew what was going to happen, but I still didn't want to stop listening.

This was a good time

The narration was really great.

This was my first read by j wolf/Julia wolf and it was a fun time, I couldn't put it down.

I wish there had a been a little more groveling on Bash's part but that was really the only "miss" for me.

I'll definitely be reading the other books in this series and the spin off's/sequel series as well. There were so many characters in this story that I hope they have books or know they have books in the future.

Grace and Bash

Light a Fire is broody, sexy, satisfying! I can’t even go into detail because at the moment I’m still unpacking everything I read. Definitely a book I will read again as I look forward to the next in the series!!
