Blurb:
I’m an outcast and a loner, named for death itself. Fate wasn’t supposed to have plans for me.
But then she came back—the girl I once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods. She came back, and I could no more resist her than I could pry out my own heart. And by some trick of fate, she wants me as much as I want her. The only problem? She also wants the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest.
And so do I.
Eight years ago, I did something to Auden, something terrible. He hurt me back the only way he knew how, and so here we are: our hatred seasoned with pain and my loneliness seasoned with longing. The only thing we can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants us to find a way to be together—all three of us.
If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn me as well.
But with the discovery of bones behind the altar and 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. And no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it’s always followed by ashes.
And darkness.

   
Excerpt:

Shame, hot and prickling, needles everywhere at my face and chest and belly as I begin to bend down to the floor. The cool air that caresses my pussy is now everywhere as the position begins to expose my most secret flesh, and there’s no pretending away the reality of what I’m doing. I’m doing something I’ve never done before, I’m offering up the filthiest part of me for inspection, and despite everything the three of us have shared in the past twenty-four hours, I’m flooded with shame. It’s real shame now, not play-shame, and my safe word floats to the top of my mind, a buoy in the clear waters.
Convivificat.
I don’t want to safe out right now, I’m nowhere near the edge, but it’s nice to have it there all the same. Reassuring. There’s nothing they can do that I can’t stop.
And anyway, this is who I am—who I’ve been growing into ever since I found the words to define it.

   

***5 ‘The Hurt I Choose’ Stars***

UGH...Whyyyyy?

Yes, I know that this is a four book series and the first three books will end in cliffy’s.

I KNOW this, but even with this knowledge, I still can’t believe that THIS is where this one ends...especially since I have to wait until next year to see how this little tidbit plays out….but I also knew this going in so #practicingpatience it is.

But on to the review…

My review of A Lesson in Thorns was quite vague, but necessary since it was only just the beginning of the journey for the characters in the book. I was fascinated by them all, but I didn’t have a true grasp of who they were and who they could possibly become..yet. But after reading this one, I definitely have a better feel for them all and can honestly say that, as a whole, I really like each of them. They all bring a different piece and unique piece of the puzzle to the table and I loved watching how the constantly changing dynamics of their relationships with each other affect the group as a whole. Auden and Saint are definitely my favs, but the others are not far behind.

 Now, the main focus as far as romance goes does fall on Auden, Poe and Saint ~ though Rebecca, Delphine and Beckett have their own things going on as well ~ and I really liked where things are going with them. There is a lot of hurt and anger between Auden and Saint and it was heartbreaking and frustrating to watch as they constantly butted heads, but I liked how Poe was that...force...that enigma that made them truly think about what they wanted and it was actually quite sweet and heartwarming to watch what transpired between them as they worked to earn their hearts desires.

Feast of Sparks was definitely an experience. The smexy was HOT and I love the open, no holds barred nature of the relationship between all the characters. True, it’s not conventional, but what they are going through isn’t either. While a few secrets have been exposed, there are many more to uncover and I’m really looking forward to seeing what is coming up next and how they will affect all of these characters in the end.
