Book Review ~ SPARK OF ASH by Molly E. Lee

Spark of Ash (Ember of Night, #3)
by: Molly E. Lee
Series: Ember of Night
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance/Angels and Demons
Release Date: May 24, 2022
Publisher: Entangled Teen

The Seven―the Divine beings meant to protect the world―just declared war. On me. They took Ray, my baby sister, and now they’re using my boyfriend to do their dirty work.

Well, screw that.

I may not be able to wipe them off the face of the earth now, but I know what can.

Thanks to an Ather connection, I know about the Seven Scrolls. An ancient incantation made by the Creator to counteract the Seven’s great power, scattered into pieces across the world.

With the help of my new crew, we’re on the hunt. And with each located scroll, I face new battles, bloodier and harder than I’ve ever known before. But now the stakes are even higher, because Ray has always been my bright light in the darkness, and Draven is my hope when all seems lost, and if I don’t get them back?

Well, then I might just become the scariest legend the world has ever known.


“This is the stuff of Biblical legend.”

From the very beginning, Molly E. Lee’s Ember of Night series has been captivating and intense. Each book has expanded on the previous one.

Eighteen-year-old Harley Ward doesn’t know what easy is. Her whole life she has been physically, emotionally, and verbally abused by her father. The only bright side has been her eight-year-old sister, Ray, and her boss Nathan, who looks out for them as best he can. A few weeks before she turned eighteen, Harley’s life became unusual, to say the least. She met a guy named Draven and suddenly demons were after her blood. In Ember of Night and Shadow of Light, Harley fights for her life on multiple occasions and discovers who she really is. But it isn’t until Spark of Ash that she accepts her destiny and fights against all odds to save those she loves and the world itself.

Throughout this series, I’ve wanted to read/see things from Draven’s perspective. Finally, we as readers get that, with dual POVs from Draven and Harley throughout the book. Seeing the dual POVs shows just how much these two love and care for each other, as well as those people they have chosen to be their family.

Spark of Ash was everything and more of what I thought I was going to get. The story was intense, with Molly bringing out all kinds of emotions. There was happiness, sadness, anger, hope, frustration, and heartbreak. Honestly, there were many times when I felt tears in my eyes. I’ve loved all the books in the Ember of Nights series, but Spark of Ash is definitely the best.
