Spark of Intent

Written by Harper Wylde and Quinn Arthurs

Narrated by Heather Costa and Brandon Utah

The things of nightmares haunt my dreams. Secrets lurk around every corner. The world I've entered isn't all it seems, but as a newcomer, questioning the Council isn't the safest move. Not when my guys are so entrenched in a world that I find dangerous. As Theo, Hiro, Ryder, Killian, Damien, and I try to find out how we fit together, we must also decide where we stand among the politics, class, and half-truths. While we each battle with our own demons, the ties that bind us together strain. With the Gala right around the corner and the Council's rules threatening to break up my family, the arrival of a new shifter at our front door adds more stress-and more humor-to our already complicated lives. As everyone struggles to find where loyalties lie, we find that not everybody is who they appear to be. When the secrets around me turn deadly, will I let them break me or will they become my Spark of Intent?

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Spark of Intent

[Ravens9308 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Book 3 for me in the series did drop a little of the momentum of the overall storyline but I think the character development and funny moments really got it back on track with a solid 4 stars.

I actually like the plot regarding the Council (and boy do I want to shake them and throttle them for their inane proceedings and regards to women and rare shifters) and cannot wait to see the group and others go against them and hopefully topple them down. Karmic justice will be sweet after what some of the council members are doing behind people's backs, especially in regards to children. I am worried what was done to Nix the couple of times she was in their clutches, already listening to book 4 to find out more!

In terms of the prospective mates, I am kinda confused by some things but again, there are 7 books so I feel like more will be explained. I did like seeing Nix put her foot down with the one baddie. I am intrigued by a couple of the prospects and I love that Kill's brother is so quirky but has so much depth. I am hoping he is a certain bear's other mate down the line, but gotta get through the series before I figure that out. He had some of the best one-liners and I loved the songs that were going on in his head. Great addition to this story!

I also loved seeing some of the relationships further develop. I am a M/M junkie so I am so digging the 2 harem members having a relationship as well. I was frustrated but happy to see the guys finally get the sticks out of you know where and talk to each other. The guys totally deserved to be smacked upside the head with their fighting that lead to some bad stuff. I am getting a little bit of whiplash with Nix's triggers but I think that lends itself to be more relatable/realistic because trauma is like that. Sometimes triggers, sometimes no rime or reason for episodes. I am hoping over time this won't be as big of a plot line since Nix will have healed with her time from the guys and the past trauma will be managed/not as tough for her.

Like I have said before, I think the audiobook had so much potential and if this had turned from a dual to a duet I would easily give it 5 stars (more if I could). Heather cannot do the accents correctly for the guys, keeps swapping them or making them cringe. She is amazing at the females voices though! Brandon does an impeccable job with the male voices. His Kill, Theo, and Ryder are utterly amazing and I would listen to him all day long if I could.
