The characters.. Arlo is a character I have come to love. He’s a dark, dominating alpha.. and I love it! Mercy is such a fantastic character! She’s strong, fierce, selfless, and stands up for what she believes.
The series has sucked me in and I can’t wait to read the third and final book to see how Mercy and Arlo’s story ends!
Wow, this book is dark and interesting! Spark of Madness is my first book by Brynn Ford and it certainly won’t be my last. This was a dark, dystopian Wow, this book is dark and interesting! Spark of Madness is my first book by Brynn Ford and it certainly won’t be my last. This was a dark, dystopian forbidden romance with some heavy triggers.
Ember Glen is a cult where men have perverted religion as a way to satisfy their darkness and depravity. Women are essentially only there to cater to these men’s needs and from childhood are assigned to be either a domestic or a servant. Every full moon, men have free reign to fulfil all their sexual and violent fantasies with the servants however they wish to. Most of these women with the exception being Mercy think it's an honor to serve. Mercy ran away to save her life only to be caught and fated a series of punishments at the hand of Arlo.
I was immediately drawn into this world by Brynn’s writing and I did enjoy this book. It was a rollercoaster of emotions that left me wanting more. Mercy’s character was inspirational. She was headstrong in a way I didn’t expect her to be after the type of community she’s a part of. Arlo’s character was confusing and also unexpected because he fully believes in the rituals and doctrination of Ember Glen, but when with Mercy he seems to soften.
The chemistry between the two is intense and I can’t wait to see where their tale of darkness, terror and pain will go after that cliffhanger!
