...
In the captivating novel, UpSpark, written by Nicole Wells, many
essential themes - such as acceptance, forgiveness, trust, and love -
are fully explored.
This
story has many exceptional aspects ... The author's ability to
interweave these various themes into one engaging, fascinating story
is truly amazing. She develops the main characters in likable and
relatable ways, and each one imparts important lessons. The last
chapters are unexpected and memorable. Author Nicole Wells notes the
novel, UpSpark, is Book One of the Five Elements Series. Everyone who
reads this gem of a book will certainly anticipate the second one!

Let
me start by taking a moment to revel in the beauty of the name of
this story, you won't get it right away, I didn't either, but reading
this story, a story of absolutely everything. I'm at a loss for
words.
The
story follows Enya (another incredibly beautiful name) and her life,
a life marked by everything extraordinary. What starts out as
heartbreaking news to an experience of a lifetime (literally), this
story covers it all. The author Nicole Wells has portrayed a picture
almost too good and too pure to be true, and she is right, such hope,
that too, set in a post-quarantine world is all you could wish for.
As
unrealistic as it seems for an 18 year old Jacob to have such deep
understanding of life and of love, Ms. Wells' writing makes it very
believable and very desirable too. It is a love story of the dreams
and stars.
The
story in itself is complex, and that is expected, nothing of this
caliber could be any less; but the very understanding the author has
put into the life of her characters brings them to you in a very real
sense. [...]
Read
this book, it is intense. But you need to, it will give you pain, and
it will give you hope.

Enya
is 18 when she discovers she has Huntingtons, the same disease that
devastated her father. Grieving the diagnosis, she impulsively goes
on a road trip with her friends, and during the trip, she begins to
have striking visions. These visions lead her on a journey she could
never anticipate.
I
was surprised to love this book like I did. Firstly, the
representation of often overlooked characters was excellent. ... the
author wrote extensively about Native American communities and
beliefs with such tenderness and beauty.
I
resonated with the spirituality of this book and was inspired by it
as well ... Enya works through these and many other spiritual
components without the writing becoming boring or heavy.
I
always surrender to books, without trying to jump ahead or analyze
them, but still, many books are written with a much-used formula you
can see a mile away. In "Upspark" the author made several
(big) unpredictable choices, which surprised me.
...
She clearly knew Enya inside and out, and loved her characters, which
made it a compelling read. I would highly recommend this book!

UpSpark
is a new inspirational fiction novel geared toward young adults or
anyone looking to develop a sunnier outlook. ... The story spans
years of her unique life and details her lows and her highs. The
inspiration comes as Enya comes to terms with the hand she's been
dealt. With the help of some supportive friends, she gains
perspective. With that perspective, she also gains an extraordinary
gift. This gift, as much as the Huntington's, dramatically changes
the course of Enya's life.Enya is not your typical superhero. Her
ability to see visions is pretty low-key. She doesn't want a flashy
life or fame, and her modesty is charming. ... This highly
introspective novel will cause you to take a step back and look at
what's really important. Via some complex characters with their own
unique set of obstacles, Nicole Wells has crafted an inclusive novel
that deals with some hard-hitting issues. The sensitivity is obvious,
exploring the raw emotions surrounding coming out in a religiously
devout family, and in dealing with the process of Native Americans
being adopted into non-Native families. UpSpark is an elegant
character-driven drama that will make you sob and smile, but mostly
it will instill a sense of gratitude for whatever time we have.

I like the covers of both books in the series. I like the way the light is used.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful covers! Stardust is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove that the covers are able to convey the paranormal, sci-fi and romance aspects of the books.
