Waverly, Kieran and Seth are in a race against time – and with the future of humanity hanging in the balance, there’s no room for mistakes…After a desperate escape from the enemy ship, Waverly has finally made it back to the Empyrean. The memory of home has been keeping her alive for the past months… but home is nothing like she left it. Forced to leave their captive parents behind on the New Horizon, she’s returned only to find that Kieran has become a strict leader and turned the crew against Seth. What happened to the Kieran she thought she knew? Now Waverly’s not sure whom she can trust. And the one person she wants to believe in is darkly brilliant Seth, the ship’s supposed enemy. Waverly knows that the situation will only get worse until they can rescue their parents – but how?

Before they have time to make a plan, an explosion rocks the Empyrean, and Seth and Waverly are targeted as the prime suspects. Can they find the true culprit before Kieran locks them away… or worse? Will Waverly follow her heart, even if it puts lives at risk? Now more than ever, every step could bring them closer to a new beginning – or a sudden end.

Spark is book two in Amy Kathleen Ryan's thrilling young adult science fiction series Sky Chasers.

I am sorry to say that I almost didn't make it through this one.  It also pains me that so many people it seems loved this book.  I found it slow and just pointless.  I really didn't love Glow all that much but wanted to see if Spark could redeem it.  And it just didn't for me.  Spark picks up where Glow left off and it just doesn't pick up at all.  As I am writing this I find it hard to review it.  I finished this one and picked up Flame which is book three. And I am just so torn.  This series had everything going for it.  But, it just lost me along the way.

I think Spark really lost me when it came out that the ship Waverley piloted back home had, had a stowaway on it.  It was just a conflict they really didn't need.  You have Kieran still acting like Mathers and Seth who is just being stupid.  Waverly can't stand up for herself (personally I think she had more balls when she had been kidnapped)

This one was a mash up of more religion and kids being stupid kids.
