Review: The Sparks(Feud #1) by:Kyle Prue

 The Sparks (Feud, #1)
About the Book:
The Vapros, the Taurlum, and the Celerius: three dynasties bound by an ancient promise, and given superhuman abilities to protect the city of Altryon from the dangerous world beyond its walls. Centuries of fighting, however, have turned the families against each other. A powerful emperor now rules and each family has suffered heavy casualties in the feud.

Sixteen-year-old, Neil Vapros desperately wants to become an assassin in order to impress his overly critical father. Despite a failed mission, Neil learns that a new sinister threat has awakened. This mysterious new power will shatter the established order and threaten not only the very lives of these powerful families, but also the once great city of Altryon.

Everything can change with a single “Spark”...


My Review:
 The Vapros, the Taurlum, and the Celerius are three families that have super human abilities bound to an ancient promise. Their main objective is to protect the city Altryon, against the evils outside the walls of the land.Although they are all bound by the same promise, it seems that they have all turned against one another.

 Neil Vapros, is sixteen years old and willing to do anything to make his father proud. His ultimate dream is to become an assassin, but after he fails a mission, that dream may not come true. He uncovers a weighty truth that will seemingly in one fail swoop change everything. It is of utmost importance that he gets to the bottom of this big secret and quickly because their are lives at stake.

 Lilly Celerius, 17 years old, discovers everything is not as it seems. After visiting her brother at the military outpost, she discovers that her family is in trouble and the king has turned against them. What a happy birthday this is going to be!

 Darius Taurlum, was outdone by by one of the Vapros and a common girl and their is no way he will allow that to happen again. He soon learns that all three families are in danger and because of this fact alone, he has to rethink his agenda and strategy.

  With everyone around them in danger, will these three families come together setting aside all differences or will they stick to their own agenda while everyone around them dies?

With a story similar to many I have heard recently, the authors debut novel, seem very solid with its very strong characters and plot line. I am anxious to find out what happens in the rest of the series. Kyle Prue, although being a first-time author and the fact that he is young did nothing to harm his story telling capabilities in the least. I liked his writing and look forward to reading more written by him.
