However, when another threat to Damian and his kingdom emerges, and blame is cast on their newly forged allies from Blevon, Alexa knows things are not what they seem.

Karen at For What It's Worth and Mary at The Book Swarm occasionally post twitter-style reviews. Karen calls hers Short and Tweet, and I am going to borrow that review style here.

    I wanted to read Ignite because I enjoyed the first one, the strong main character in Alexa. I didn't really remember much from the first book besides that, but this one drew me in well. It gave enough recall in a natural way so that details came back. 

my tweet (longer) review

   

    Alexa is still guarding the king, the man she loves, but pretending like that's not an issue. I love how this continued and the romance arch was great.  And it was a new dynamic since everyone knows that Alex is Alexa now.  I got caught up in the book again and will def be continuing. There are so many challenges they had to overcome and mysteries to solve in this one. A good amount was solved and there was def enough questions and things that I will definitely continue. 

My question to you, my lovely readers:
Ever thought about or joined the service?
