Feast of Sparks (Thornchapel Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Sierra Simone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,571 ratings
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.

Feast of Sparks is Book Two in the Thornchapel series.

5 out of 5 stars
This one is a lesson in opening up.
This one is a lesson in opening up. Taking what you know, what you think you know and molding into a new experience. The six have learned about the past, about the secrets and about each other. There are limits and limits need to be pushed, coaxed and barreled through! There is laughter, there is so much emotion, there is pain, there is love. Together, they search, smolder and suffer. Is it a game or is it something else? The journey is so alluring that they and you cannot turn away without answers. Rituals are exciting, engulfing and shimmers with lust. The ending is crushing! Sierra Simone is firing my imagination for the next phase of this journey and like our six, I cannot turn away!

    4.0 out of 5 stars We do love a sad boy
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    We rejoin Auden, Poe, and the rest of the gang picking up shortly after the events of A Lesson in Thorns. Everyone is coming to terms with what they just took part in and discovered, especially Auden and Saint Sebastian. There's so much pain between the two of them and sweet little Poe just wants everyone to be happy, together.

    As someone that has read this whole series, this may be my favorite book by itself. I love a sad boy, and our sweet Saint embodies this thoroughly - mama issues, a dead daddy, complicated love, and of course, every sad boy's favorite accessories, the lip piercing and eye liner. This series is so delightfully spicy and adds a reprieve from the emotions of Auden and Saint's journey back to each other and with the addition of Poe. I love the little glimpses we get of Beckett, Rebecca, and Delphine's POV sprinkled throughout.

    Simone's writing is enchanting as always, and my favorite Zachary Webber lends his talents to the audiobook with help from Sara Ormenyi. Their performance brings the heart and the heat to an entirely new level.

    The Thornchapel Series continues next with Harvest of Sighs where we get to find out more of Delphine and Rebecca's story.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019

    This book should come with a warning: May cause spontaneous pregnancy. This book is incendiary and will literally burn you from the inside out. I had to take several breaks while reading this to get myself together. Sierra is a master at erotica her prose cannot be matched. I loved every minute of this book and cannot wait for the next installment.

    “If I could rearrange the world for you, I would,” he says. “I’d rearrange everything.”

    This story bounces around between the past and the present. It brings to light more of Auden and Saint’s past and helps answer many of the questions from the first story. But with every question that seemed to be answered more were unearthed. The relationship between Auden and Saint is slowly stripped layer by layer, I loved watching Auden and Saints story seeing how they fell in love and the paths that they took. Sierra takes you on a hedonistic journey that will take you to the brink.

    “Keep me any way you want, I want to tell him. Just so long as you keep me close.”

    This world that Sierra has created is utterly addicting. Each of these characters and their complexity keeps you enthralled and gasping for more. The depths with which Sierra has taken this story is beyond anything you can imagine and takes a hold of you from the first page and refuses to let go. The cliff hanger on this book literally left my mouth agape. I furiously went back and forth on the last few pages hoping I missed something and there was more. Alas, there is not, and it is a whopper of a hanger, so be prepared to be in a massive book hangover until we get A Harvest of Sighs. This book should not be missed. Read it you will not be disappointed.

    “I want more than lasting. I want endless. I want forever. And I’m going to earn it, no matter what you ask of me.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars epic writing and extraordinary story-telling
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2020

    Once again, I am completely blown away by Sierra Simone's epic writing and extraordinary story-telling. Feast of Sparks is just as delicious as the first installment in the Thornchapel series -- with just as many twists, just as many heart-pounding moments, and just as much mystery leading into the next book. I am HOOKED!

    I must admit, I had never read a TRUE erotic book before I read A Lesson in Thorns. Sure, I've read romance with some super steamy scenes, but this was on another level. And perhaps what makes this the BEST way to start reading erotica is that with the mystery of Thornchapel and the magic of the rituals these six friends engage in, there is something... PRIMAL about the sex in these books. It's more than just part of the story, it's the HEART of the story. And it's absolutely intoxicating.

    I am still head over heels for all the characters. Auden, the broody prince. St. Sebastian, the sad poor boy. And my new obsession? Becket, the handsome, sweet priest who has a bad side that I can't get enough of. These boys have me completely under their spells.

    The leading ladies of the Thornchapel series are also addicting, especially our little Prosperina. I love how honest she is with her flaws, how much she owns and embraces her past as well as her present, and with no shame for what she may become in the future. It's something I envy, really, and if anything, Prosperina's character leaves me wanting to invest in myself more than I already do.

    The last chapter of this book had my heart in my throat. JUST when everything seemed okay, seemed happy and promising, of course, Sierra drops a bomb in our lap -- one I feared would come but hoped TERRIBLY that I was wrong.

    I cannot wait to see what unfolds in the next installment. I'm counting down the days. Bravo, Simone. You're an evil little kinky genius and I adore you!

    ... and keep you safe from everything else while you feel it.

    This book... gosh it is captivating and otherworldly and intellectual and so very beautiful. Saint Sebastian takes the reins in this one and we learn more about his past with Auden and understand a bit more about why he is how he is. We also see more from the rest of our Thornchapel crew and while we might get more questions than we do answers, I am here and ready for everything!! Love love love this series.

    I have no adequate words to describe what I just survived after reading Feast of Sparks. It proves a little tricky when trying to write a review, but here goes…
    Sierra Simone is the ultimate when it comes to penning a book. Feast of Sparks is no exception.
    Her grasp on the visual landscape, her characters, the ebb and flow of the storyline is epic. The author pulls you in from the first printed sentence and keeps you within her grasp until the very end.
    Without giving too much away, the connection between all the characters, not just the main ones, is something she does so well. You’re drawn into their emotional state, get lost in the heart-warming bond they have with one another, and left feeling like you’re living their adventures right along with them. It’s beautiful to witness.
    Read A Lesson in Thorns first and then dive into this one. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
