A teen outcast must work together with new friends to keep her family and town safe from murderous Fae while also dealing with panic attacks, family issues, and a lesbian love triangle in C.M. McGuires’s kick-butt paranormal YA debut, Ironspark.
For the past nine years, ever since a bunch of those evil Tinkerbells abducted her mother, cursed her father, and forced her family into hiding, Bryn has devoted herself to learning everything she can about killing the Fae. Now it’s time to put those lessons to use.
Then the Court Fae finally show up, and Bryn realizes she can’t handle this on her own. Thankfully, three friends offer to help: Gwen, a kindhearted water witch; Dom, a new foster kid pulled into her world; and Jasika, a schoolmate with her own grudge against the Fae.
But trust is hard-won, and what little Bryn has gained is put to the test when she uncovers a book of Fae magic that belonged to her mother. With the Fae threat mounting every day, Bryn must choose between faith in her friends and power from a magic that could threaten her very humanity.

My thoughts:
Ironspark follows kick-butt teen Bryn and her friends Jasika, Gwen and Dom on a mission to keep Bryn’s family safe and protect their town from evil unseelie fae. When Bryn eventually realises she can’t do it alone, this unusual bunch of friends come together to help her. However, when things go from bad to worse when Bryn and her family come under threat.
I really enjoyed reading this book! I absolutely loved the magic and the characters were so relatable ❤️ Bryn was my favourite character, she is such an amazing, badass fighter and I really enjoyed getting to know her character.
I loved the magic system in this book! Gwen’s water magic was by the coolest thing, especially her healing powers! Ironspark was definitely my cup of tea ❤️
Hope you all enjoyed my review 😀 I really enjoyed reading this book and I know you guys will too! Have you guys read Ironspark yet? Let me know what you thought of it in the comments 😀 Bye guys, happy reading! x

About the Author

When C.M. McGuire, author of Ironspark, was a child, she drove her family crazy with her nonstop
stories. Lucky for them, she eventually learned to write and gave their ears a rest. This love of stories
led her to college where she pursued history (semi-nonfictional storytelling), anthropology (where stories come from) and theater (attention-seeking storytelling). When she isn’t writing, she’s painting, crocheting, gardening, baking, and teaching the next generation to love stories as much as she does.
