Publisher's summary

Spark is light, Spark is magic, Spark is power.

Spark is everything and it blooms inside the bodies of Tau City’s young women. Once a decade, in exchange for enough power to keep the city modern and comfortable, a Spark Maiden must be sacrificed to their mysterious tower god in a ritual called The Extraction.

Ten Maidens are Chosen, but only one enters the tower as a sacrifice, never to be seen again. The nine leftovers are elevated to celebrity status and spend the next decade living in the luxurious Maiden Tower, wearing couture gala gowns, and partying with the city’s most interesting and beautiful people. Every young woman in Tau City wants to be a Spark Maiden because the odds have always been in their favor.

Until now.

One by one, the greedy god has summoned the leftover Spark Maidens into sacrifice. When Clara Birch, Spark Maiden number nine, gets the call, she fully expects her fiancé, Finn Scott, the Extraction Master’s son, to save her.

Spoiler alert: He’s not going to.

At the same time, a rebellion is brewing. The forgotten underclass is plotting the end of the god and his tower with strategically-placed Rebel spies that will bring it all down. Jasina Bell is a young woman on a mission to make history and she will stop at nothing to get the fame she deserves.

When Clara is forced into the tower against her will, she makes an unexpected discovery. There is no god—just a man, one willing to do what Finn Scott wouldn’t: save Clara Birch.

Even if it means destroying the entire world to do so.

Betrayal and sacrifice, loyalty and power plays—four people are entangled across time and space as they seek truth, freedom, and true love in this wild and twisted adult romantasy that will have listeners breathlessly listening until the final tick.

Sparktopia

Excellent! The description and detail of the city and character building draws you into a city of beauty and dreadful traditions. JA Huss draws you in building suspense and danger along the way.

What a story

I was stuck on this story from the beginning. I love your mind Ms. Huss. I had a couple of sleepless nights. Narration is entertaining and keeps you engaged. What's do you have for me next month?

I’m obsessed!!!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!
All the characters are perfect and the world is amazing and I will be thinking of this book for weeks after this. That’s the good sign a book is worth reading/listening to. Love it!!!!

Wow, phenomenal cast of narrators 🖤🎧🖤

Wow, JA Huss has given us quite a story here to kick off this new series. I would definitely say that this story is Romantasy, romance, sci-fi, AI multi-universe or parallel universe.

The story begins with our two main characters, Clara Birch (Spark Maiden: 3 months left to complete her 10 year commitment) and Finn Scott (Extraction Master son & love interest to Clara- he is basically royalty and appears to be dedicated to Clara)
As the story moves along we get details about how this world works and what the Spark Maiden’s role is and expectations. We quickly discover that there is an evil possibly more sinister side to Tau City and how this God in the Tower is demanding more & more Spark Maidens.

I really loved Clara’s character and her growth, she was able to adapt to her new situations and never seemed to miss a beat. I loved her loyalty to those she loves or has opened up her inner circle to.
Tyse is another character that I absolutely loved and how he would do anything to protect those he feels responsible for and demands that those people give him the same loyalty.

I don’t want to give any spoilers here, but I highly recommend this story to all. This is mild spice romance, maybe 2 out of 5, on the spice level.

I have listened to the audio as well and the narrator’s do an amazing job with the voices of the characters.
Narrator’s: Eric Nolan, Jill Redfield, Ava Erickson, CJ Mission, Teddy Hamilton, Joel Froomkin, & Kingsley Rose.

Interesting Story

Wow, JA does it again! This world she has created sucks you in with how descriptive it is. We get twist and turns which we have come to expect from her books but in a fantasy world that you will not believe.

Multi-cast narrators help draw you into the story and leave you in awe!

I’m addicted to Spark!

I’m addicted to this story, I’m addicted to Spark! When the epilogue started, I literally thought no way I must have accidentally missed some chapters. This book is definitely the beginning of an adventurous magical journey and I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next chapter.

Great story but some of the narrators

Whoever did the voice for /approved the voice for Mitchell —whyyyyy??? It’s just awful and I’m only half way through. Please consider a change if the character is in any future books.

Hang on for this ride!!!

She did it again!!! There wasn't a character that she wrote that I wasn't enthralled with... and I hope this series continues!!!

Imagination.

This book was so much fun to listen to. As soon as I started, I was hooked. A truly fantastic read. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. 💗

pulls you in!

Not my typical type of book. But once again JA Huss pulled me with her visionary.

I do think there is an issue with the the Epilogue and last chapter of Tyse. it repeated the same chapter.

Narrators are fantastic and some of same narrators as in comfort & brave.
