Description

Penemuel (Pen) fell from grace over a millennium ago, yet there are still times she questions her decision to follow her twin brother, Azael, to Hell. Now that the archangel Michael has returned, threatening Lucifer’s vie for the throne, she begins questioning everything she has always believed.

As Hell prepares for war - spreading a demonic virus and pilfering innocent souls to build an army - the lines separating the worlds blur. Fates erase and the future is left unwritten. Azael is determined that he and his sister will continue to serve as demons together, but for the first time in her life, Pen is not ruled by destiny. She has the freedom of choice.

With choice comes sacrifice, and Pen must decide which side she’s willing to risk everything fighting for: the light, or the dark.

Advance Praise

“There is no denying that the plot to Ignite is relatively complex, and Erica Crouch does not offer her reader all the answers to the angel/demon, good vs evil debate, but this book is so well composed and the discussions meticulously formed that I found it impossible not to become completely involved in the story. Pen is one of the most extraordinary characters I feel a reader will meet in contemporary fiction.” — All In One, 5 Star Review

“You know when you pick up a book, and from the first letter of the first word, of the first sentence, of the first paragraph, of the first page, you are completely sucked into the world the author has created? I, for one, love those books, and I am happy to say that Ignite fits the description perfectly.” — Delicate Eternity, 5 Star Review

Ignite is fascinating in its story and exquisite in its rendering. I loved every moment! There are many details in this story and many, many lovely words.” — Bookworm Brandee, 5 Star Review

“… I loved Ignite. For many reasons really, mostly though, because of the depth of the writing. The heart of the book, and Pen’s surprising one, that though it’s the usual Heaven vs Hell debate, and a star-crossed love story, it’s also a journey and observation of someone discovering both oneself, and in what was lost… Beyond recommended this, for the thoughtfulness and questions it invokes.” – Studio Reads, 4.5 Star Review

Ignite started strong and ended even stronger. I will definitely be back for the second installment.” – Bookish Owl, 4 Star Review

I loved this book! As the number of pages left got smaller, all I could think of is "no no I want more!!".

I've always been a sucker for a good angel/demon love story (there aren't many), and surprisingly, this book isn't just about the romance.

The whole book is from a demon's point of view, which I found very different and unique. We almost never get to be inside the head of what is always perceived as "the bad guy"- in this case, bad gal.

Penemuel (Pen), our main character, is so refreshing! She is not portrayed as an awkward annoying brat, au contraire, she is one badass demon who is witty, smart, and loves poetry! Even when she fell in love, she wasn't an annoying needy weakling. I love her!

Azael, Pen's brother who shocks you with how selfish and horrible he is! A heartless monster. He is the kind of character you have a love-hate relationship with. He is very sassy too! and like his sister, he is ridiculously witty and sarcastic, which is why I enjoyed their banter. But he is pure evil enjoy killing people and reaping their souls a little too much.

Michael, the sweet reborn Archangel.. He is so adorable! This is the first book where I've seen a likable/lovable Michael.

Erica Crouch's writing is so descriptive, yet it doesn't bore you.. Not a lot of authors can do that. Even when there is a bit of history or mythology being discussed, you don't get that information overload at all. For someone so young, Erica has written something wonderful. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
