A mighty flame follows a tiny spark
Cora
Sandoval’s mother disappeared when she was five and they were living in
Ireland. Since then, her dad has been more than overprotective, and Cora is
beginning to chafe under his confines. But even more troubling is the colorful
light she suddenly sees around people. Everyone, that is, except
herself—instead, she glows a brilliant, sparkling silver.
As
she realizes the danger associated with these strange auras, Cora is
inexplicably drawn to Finn, a gorgeous Irish exchange student who makes her
feel safe. Their attraction is instant, magnetic, and primal—but her father
disapproves, and Finn’s mother orders him home to Ireland upon hearing he’s
fallen in love. After a fight with her father, Cora flees to Ireland, both to
follow Finn and to look for her missing mother.
There she meets another silver-haloed person
and discovers the meaning of her newfound powers and their role in a conspiracy
spanning centuries—one that could change mankind forever…and end her life.

My Thoughts:
Rating: 5 Stars
Wow!!! I loved this totally!!!
I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author and the tour organizers for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
Wow!!! I loved this totally!!!
What a great plot and the story line is so good and new that I just got absorbed in this fantastic world that the author created for us. The events that slowly unfolded made me so interested in this story and with each turning page I lost myself completely in this breath-taking book.
The writing style of the author is so rich and detailed that I fell in love with her style of expressing her thoughts on a piece of paper. Moreover the characters are so mature and developed that I couldn't even spot a single flaw in them.
There is mystery, suspense and on top of everything there is true and selfless love that made me cry at times and squeal in joy the other times. I was really anxious to know the truth and cause behind the super powers of our heroine and why her love for Finn wasn't accepted by others but the author kept the secret hidden till the end and I had to read faster to know it.
This is a great and entertaining read that will surely touch your heart and I would definitely recommend this book to others as well. Hope that you guys will love it too.

Tracy
Clark is a young-adult writer because she believes teens deserve to know how
much they matter and that regardless of what they’re going through, they aren’t
alone. In other words, she writes books for her teen self.
She grew up a “Valley Girl” in Southern California but now lives in her home state of Nevada, in a small town at the base of the Sierra Foothills. Her two children teach her the art of distraction and are a continuous source of great dialogue. She’s an unapologetic dog person who is currently owned by a cat.
Tracy was the recipient of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Work in Progress Grant. A two-time participant in the prestigious Nevada SCBWI Mentor Program where she was lucky enough to be mentored by bestselling author, Ellen Hopkins, who taught her so much about the art of writing and cured her of her ellipsis addiction.
Her debut novel was inspired by her enchantment with metaphysics as a teen, seeing it as the real magic in life. Tracy is a part-time college student, a private pilot, and an irredeemable dreamer.
