Ignis Kindle Edition

by K J (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 695 ratings

Felicity Davis, principal of Rawson Girls Grammar School, is a passionate educator, an inspirational leader, some say even an ice queen, although she’s not sure about that last one. But one thing Felicity knows is that she is perfectly happy with her life. That is until the trauma, the darkness of her past, comes crashing into her present, revealing a deeply buried secret, and placing Felicity and those she loves in incredible danger. Inspector Tal Diamandis takes on the case, attempting to extinguish the flames of Felicity’s past before they consume her. Matters become complicated as Felicity and Tal realise their mutual spark of attraction but when they finally connect the shocking links, the explosive conclusion will leave everyone reeling.

Can Felicity play with fire or will the fire become an inferno?

A dark, romantic thriller from the author of Coming Home.

KJ lives in Bendigo, Australia with her wife, their son, three cats and a dog. Her books are best-sellers, with all either finalists or winners in the Goldie Awards, IHeartSapphic, eLit Awards and LesFic Bard awards. KJ writes stories because her imagination takes the wheel. Permanently anxious and fond of her cats, KJ has been told that she's contagiously happy and rather funny. That last one is debatable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great third book in the Coming Home/Art of Magic universe!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021

    While technically not a series, I consider this to be book three of connecting story lines that belong together, the first being Coming Home, then Art of Magic and now Ignis. These are my favorites of KJ's books - primarily because I fell in love with the characters and wanted to know more about them, but also because they're just so well written.
    Ignis is Felicity Davis's story - the principal of Rawson's Girls Grammar School - and it went in a completely different direction than Home or Magic did. Home was a fun, swoon-worthy romance, Magic is an almost otherworldly romance with absolutely gorgeous prose, and this is more of a thriller - a surprising turn that highlights KJ's versatility as a writer.
    We see Felicity's introduction to Inspector Tal Diamandis here, and while there is too much happening in the story to make this a romance per se, their chemistry is palpable. It's still rare finding non-binary characters in lesfic and KJ makes Tal sexy, intriguing and a worthy candidate for Felicity's affections. I'm so glad KJ gave Felicity her own book because she was completely deserving of one and while I want to comment on some of Felicity's actions in this story, I can't without giving something away. I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't discovered KJ's work yet to start with Coming Home and then read these next two books. They'll make fans out of you! 4.5 stars

    5.0 out of 5 stars The brilliance of KJ
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I don't like this book. I completely love it. I read it in just a few hours, ignoring my duties as a dog and human mother and I don't even feel bad about it. KJ's books usually leave me all warm and fuzzy. This doesn't have the same effect. It's a thrilling, stressful but deeply satisfying ride. This is  KJ's magnus opus.

    Felicity Davis is the principal of Rawson Girls Grammar School in Melbourne, Australia. She is featured in both Coming Home and Art of Magic. This is her back story and after having read it, her strength is even more admirable. A student at a neighboring school disappears and inspector Tal Diamandis comes to the school to speak with Felicity. There is an instant connection between the two. Tal has difficulty getting a read on Felicity, which makes her all the more fascinating.

    There are a lot of other occurrences that keep Tal and Felicity in each others orbit and working together to try to set things right. Tal is nonbinary and is the perfect match for Felicity. Tal and Felicity both exhibit strength of character, while showing each other their vulnerability.

    This book kept me on the edge of my couch. Felicity is such a great character and I am so glad she got a story worthy of her. KJ is one of my favorite authors and I love that she gave us something unexpected. Anyone who reads this won't soon forget it. Ignis is an exceptionally well written book.

    While this particular book was a departure from the writing style of KJ's previous books, it was definitely an intriguing read that was hard to put down. I see it being described as a dark thriller but I say it's more of a dusk suspense but that does not sound nearly as cool. I love Felicity's character and getting to see her from the inside out was really fantastic. Totally worth the read, KJ has yet to disappoint.

    I read this book four months and about 175 books ago, but I can still recall the characters and the story quite well. This, to me, is the mark of a work that makes a difference. I loved Tal so much along with the nonbinary representation that is starting to make its presence known in this genre. I'll definitely be reading this one again!

    Wow KJ, excellent work!

    Mystery-thriller-romance(sub plot) featuring an non-binary character! I’ve been lucky to read a couple books lately having representation and it’s nice to see inclusion in the sapphic-fiction writing community.

    So I’ve read 2 other books from KJ, Coming Home and Kick Back, and this was so different and exceeded my expectations! I really enjoy when authors surprise me like this!

    Felicity (principal) and Tal(inspector), the two mains, meet due to girls going missing near and in Felicity’s school. This dredges up Felicity’s past and forces her to trust and accept the help of Tal. The two dance around their mutual attraction and the flirting and banter is superb. The story is set in Melbourne so for a US reader is always fun reading/learning Aussie vernacular.

    The story line of the main plot is very well written, researched, and complex. I really hope KJ writes more mystery/thrillers because she really does have a knack for it.

    I think there is potential for a 2nd book, or hopefully maybe a short story but we’ll see.

    I think this could work for a lot of people, especially those who only want a romance subplot.

    I really really loved the first 50% of this book, but unfortunately the second half let the book down. One of the MCs spent too much time lusting after the other one in the second half , with the mystery/thriller element taking a back seat.

    Reviewed in Germany on August 29, 2021

    This was so far from what I thought it would be but it was utterly fantastic. The easiest part adding to how fantastic this was is the fact that this story has Tal. And by having Tal, this story also has a nonbinary main character. And I loved everything about Tal. And Felicity of course.
    The entire story was brilliantly written making it incredibly difficult to put the book down and not think about it. Even when I put the book down, my mind was always with Felicity and Tal. The 'Before' chapters had a haunting quality to them which made them creepily intense which also translated to the present day chapters. What an amazing read.

    KJ is a phenomenal talent and easily 1 of my top fav authors.
    The 2 MC's are this books shinning light. I think Tal has to be 1 of the sexiest characters to ever grace a page. Felicity was a beautiful tapestry wrapped up as person. Strong, passionate, confident, vunerable. What i loved most though was how they where together. They way KJ used words and facial expressions to create sexual tension like some exsquisite game of chase is pure genius! I've never seen it done to this extent and with this skill and OMG does she have a gift to make it work! 🤤
    The story itself was an unusual added bonus and just brings it all together to form 1 hell of a piece of work.

    I really enjoyed this book, it was an intriguing story that ensured page turning. Full of interesting characters and suspense. Inspector Tal yum a vision in leather who wouldn't want to jump on that bike
    with her. The down side I found was reading the pronouns, I know the reason people want to be addressed like that but when they and them are mentioned I can't help but think two people. Otherwise very enjoyable.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2022

    This is a rare romance that feels wrong to read just in ebook. It should be accompanied by fast turning paper, bound in a glorious hardcover. It's that kind of book and it hits you deeply with a gripping storyline, a character with so much depth and backstory that she is practically infinite and a romance that is almost a given but still so vital to the story.

    Felicity is an ice queen but, of course there's so much more to her. It takes an enigmatic detective and a shadowy villain to be the catalyst to her uncovering that though.

    In a metaphor of her development, Felicity isn't rescued from the outside, she's rescued by herself and by acknowledging who she is. In this, Ignis goes way beyond a clichéd romance thriller and becomes a wonderful story of her development and her triumph, underpinned by a glorious romance.

    Fully recommended. A few gripping, scary moments but don't be put off, stick with Felicity and let her show you the way.
