OKAY! Just for fun, I have something new! I've been reading your comments from previous posts and it's so amazing to see which characters you LOVE, which characters you LOVE TO HATE, and which characters you HATE TO LOVE! I have devised a poll so you can lodge your concerns with management. Below I have listed Team REED, Team RUSSELL, Team BRENNUS, with a fourth option being: I'll let EVIE decide. Let me know whose team you're on! I have tried to do a "Theme Song" for each character (sorry if you don't like the song for your team's character--it's just for fun). As always, feel free to comment and tell me whatever you have on your mind. I read it all! Here we go... Team REED: GO WITH THE FLOW by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Team RUSSELL: SWING LIFE AWAY by RISE AGAINST Team BRENNUS: HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW by THE HEAVY Thanks for checking in! I rewrote chapter 11 and chapter 15 ( a couple of the chapters that have been bothering me). I'm currently on chapter 16 proofreading. (There are 28 chapters in Incendiary at present.) I know, I'm so slow, but it will be worth it. I promise.

I am always, without a doubt Team REED....but I love me some Bren, and HE IS MOIN, so she can't have him anyway. =) I'll be heartbroken when he has to say goodbye to her, though, so maybe they should just have some really tender moment as he's dying where she tells him she did love him before he takes his last breath...*sigh* LOL

Yes, I am all about Reed and he is enough for me, however, I can't help but picture Brennus as Jonathan Rhys Meyers which drives me nuts!!! I think he is so hot!! I don't know how Evie could resist him so! Ok, I know how, she has Reed and that makes it easier. But still so hard! I love that she stays faithful to Reed though. It makes their relationship perfect.

Hi, again! I have a thing for bad boy's so i am most definetly team Brennus!!! Russel is cute and adorable, but he and Evie don't belong in this generation. Reed is handesome and charming, but too nice. At first read it might seem that Reed and Evie are perfect. Yes, he does bring out a side of Evie that makes her more like herself, but he was there for her when she needed guidance being introduced into a whole other world. Russel was there to be a friend and now it's time for her to be with Brennus so he can introduce a new kind of love to Evie, teach her magic 'tool', and lead a new life with her. Brennus is a lost soul and he needs Evie to guide him. If she chooses anyone else he is lost and so is their love. There is soo much more on this love topic to add, but i don't want to blab on forever. Good luck with the book. Whatever you decide, Amy will still make me more than happy i found this series.

I love the songs for all of them. But there is that I think would fit all of them. The Calling. Wherever you will go. I don't know if you've heard it but I think its perfect. A different part fits each of them. I have to say I'm all for Reed. Brennus is addicted to her over a painting. There are other souls in the world for Russel(maybe Brownie? She doesn't have a soul though...) Reed and Evie bring out the best in each other and were both in a way lost. They found eachother and need to stay together. Either way though these books are my favorites.

I have considered Brownie for Russell but now that I have met Preben, I think that they are meant. I really think and hope that there still yet someone else for Russell...another Seraph angel we have yet to meet or somekind of Evie hybrid...lol! I don't know, I still fight with the thought that Russell and Evie should be together even though i am absolutely convinced that Reed is meant for Evie now that she is half angel.

She falls in love with them all because she is a creature of love. How did Phaedrus say it on the plane.... she radiates light, she gives love indiscriminately to all, good or evil. Evie doesn't see in black or white. She sees in shades of gray. I adore Brennus. Yeah he is an evil bastard sometimes but I think she is capale of making him a better "man." I do sometime wish that Finn would fight and win her though. Ah Finn...sigh.

I COMPLETELY agree with EVERY detail that you have mentioned. Even the Finn part (sigh). As the story progresses it is the little things that are being said just like the ones that you mentioned that are putting the puzzle pieces together. I just can't wait for the grand finally when it all makes sense and everything is right. Then, I know, I will want more. I love these characters and I just want to become one big happy family, of course with all their little quirks. But family is not fun and tight without all that.

I'm all for Reed. I like that I can definitively choose which one I want Evie to end up with. That being said, I understand the pull both Russel and Brennus have on her. She has had thousands of lives loving Russel and it's hard getting past that type of history when it's ingrained in your soul. It also doesn't help that Russel is still fighting for her to choose him. Now Brennus...he is the dark love that we all crave. His love for Evie isn't as pure and selfless as Reed and Russel so he gives her the freedom and empowerment that she wants that they don't allow her. And we do have to seriously consider her time in captivity with him. She totally has stockholm syndrome despite his abusive tendencies AND they have the magical blood thing going on that makes her body want him even if her head and heart doesn't. For me that just proves how much she loves Reed that she doesn't succumb to him. But come on, we all softened when Brennus said he just wants to be loved. I mean, who doesn't want to be loved? For me it's not a typical love triangle so it makes things interesting rather than annoying. Each guy has some trait that speaks to a different part of her and I think it will say a lot about Evie's character which one she ultimately chooses.

I just discovered your books through Amazon, and I am utterly and unapologetically in love with this series. IMO, it smashes Twilight into itty bitty pieces. It funny how invested I've become with the characters. Ive found myself asking many times if Russel will run into an angle that sings to his heart like evie's sings to Reed. I can't (and do NOT want to imagine Evie with anyone but Reed.... She might be willing to die for Russel, but it seems like Reed is the one that makes her want to live. Oh, and I am also for some hybrid babies. Lol. I polished off all three books in three days, and I'm fairly sure I'm going to be stumbling around like one of these creeper junkies for the next few days. Kuddos to you on this lovely work!

TEAM REED- Hate to say this but when Alfred almost killed Russel I wished he would of died his a complication that just won't shut up! His needy and as sweet as he is he gets to emotional. Yes. Evie feels he must love and protect him cause he makes her feel guilty about the Soulmate bond they share but friendship is better for them. Brennus don't get me started about Him- seductive he might be but he had an illusion of what the word is, he doesn't really love Evie he loves the challenge it bring as charming as he is he is just an over egotistic, obnoxious Ganargha Vamipre Fearie on a power trip. I feel in love with the Power Angel Reed Wellington when Evue and Russ ran away to haughton and he left her that heart wrenching Voicemail about his love for her-and the way Evies descripes him makes my mouth water (I can't stop doodling his name on my textBooks) Rees might also be a bit over protective but he loves Evies his Aspire hehehehehe so I'm way on Team REED DEVINE ANGEL POWER.

The third book has quickly become my favorite because of Brennus and the Fellas. I like to think that he loves Evie not merely because she's immune to his toxic powers but because he is otherwise a finds her a genuine and interesting person. I feel like he's got way more depth than Reed, who I'm frankly turned off by as being to milktoast and goody-goody. I wrote Russsel off as on over grown manchild in my mind books ago. Even though Brennus has done evil things, he obviously still retains a steak of humanity, which I'd like Evie to develop. I hope to see her as his salvation and imagine them like Oberon and Tatiana. As such, I am a bit stricken (inasmuch as one can be over a fictional character) by the results of this poll thus far and the idea that Reed or Russel may carry the day. Amy, I implore you - write some more books for the dark-heart romantics. Pick Brennus.

Ok. Here is the deal. I originally voted for Brennus because I was thinking of me, and me alone. I have come back and voted again. This time I voted for Reed, because I do believe Reed and Evie belong together. I also feel that Brennus should be with me. No. I am not in need of my medication!!! Just wishful thinking!! There is just something about that dark, misunderstood being that make the butterflies in my stomach flutter. He is not as evil as some would believe him to be. Look what he did for his brother and the Fellas! He does care, he just knows what he wants, and nothing had better get in his way of getting it! Reed is good for Evie, but he also is too overprotective of her. Brennus wants her to find out all that she is capable of doing and being... I will not argue that Reed and Evie should not be together. They should. They complete each other... And I think Russell should wind up with Brownie and live happily ever after, because Russell and Evie just aren't meant to be. Okay. I have voiced my opinion. Thanks for reading!...PS I am so looking forward to the next book!!!

The answer to this was a no brained for me. I'm so completely for team reed. Brennus gives me the creeps! And I feel like they are tainting evie since shes an angel and they are considered evil. I would be more for Russel but I just read him to be more of a brother, and it makes more sense to me for reed and evie to be together because of the butterflies they get when they are near eachother:) I mean come on! Brennus? Really...he's got to quit being selfish and give evie what she wants most! Which is Reed. It bugs me that Brennus makes her stay with him knowing she's unhappy and already in love with Reed! So selfish.

I am defiantly Team Reed because no matter what Reed and Evie always find their way back to each other. Sure, sometimes Reed will loose her somehow but he never stops looking or protecting her. He truly loves her. Brennus is a different story to me. I do believe he loves her but only for her looks and power, he does not truly love her. I mean, he is even saying he does not want to turn her because she will be more powerful then him, showing he always has to have control, which is not good in a relationship. He has grown on me but I will never think he is the right fit for Evie. As far as Russell I think he is her best friend and always should be. I know he loves her but her love for him is really nothing more than past years and friend love.

Another vote for Team Reed here. He's learning, over time, the best way to be in a relationship with Evie....just as all good relationships work. They have some communication and power issues, but the pull that they have for eachother, not to mention the bond, make me feel like this just has to be a done deal or else I will cry hysterically.

Ok, well as far as teams...I love them all, actually. They all have qualities that make you love them. I can't even hate Brennus. He does love Evie, in his way. And if someone tried to make me his queen, I think he would definitely be a contender!! Russell, is the underdog, and to root for him would make sense, kinda. I think he should find love of his own. But, Reed must be THE ONE. Reed and Evie have a magnetism and a way about them that has always brought them together, in this life anyway. I think that she will choose wisely. ;)

I originally voted for Evie's choice, but then I finished the series and changed it to Reed. Brennus is seductive but let's not forget he wants to control and own her. Once she's bit he owns her. Russell is sweet and patient. for a character that was supposed to die, and stay dead, in the first book, he's doing pretty darn good. He's going to become one powerful angel shortly. He may become the new leader of God's Seraphim army.:) I'd like to see him stay single but with LOT's of companions and team mates around him to help him fight his battles. I want him too busy to miss Evie. Reed's love is possessive now but I think once Evie becomes a full grown and powerful Seraphim, and shows him how she can kick-butt on the battle field. He will lighten up and look at her as a powerful partner.

First off Oops.....just wanting to say everyone has their own preference. I understand y everyone is obsessed with Reed sure boy is fine, but he is far from perfect, just like Russell and Brenus. I'm for one am Team Russell..... sure he has flaws but who doesn't especially at that age. I love characters that grow and I for one believe he has grown alot and is good for her, but if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen....

I like Russell too. You're right, he has grown alot and I really find him lovable. But I always see him as Evie's friend only. :) And I am crossing my fingers that he will end up with Brownie instead.

I had such a hard time picturing Brennus for some reason...until I heard his song! I can totally just see his badass swagger with that song. And it is hot, lol. Even though I think Evie should ultimately be with Reed, I still love me some bad boy Brennus. There's just something about that swagger I keep picturing....hehe.....

You know, this series is tagged as Young adult, but I'm in my 30s and I am loving them. Just wanted to say, keep writing Amy, you are a goddess. Team Reed all the way! I agree that Russel needs a girl, but I don't think it's Brownie. They don't get the butterflies, and Prebus was diggin on her. Brennus' love is not true love, just obsession. To really love someone is to want them to never be hurt, not wanting to destroy them for not reciprocating. I had a stalker once, and it was scary, not sexy. His behavior reminds me a lot of that guy. Like a tantruming toddler screaming MINE! (Or MOIN! In this case...)Having said that, I do like him (sort of against my will, but the man is truly compelling). I just don't want him to win.

I'm in my late 30s and I love this series. I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next book, and I have to remind my self that Amy and not a writing machine. Imagine if everyone was as anticipatory for us to finish anything. I will be sad when the series ends. Thank you Amy for being such a fabulous story teller. We are blessed to have you share your stories with us.

I am so in love with these books - and have been from the first page of book 1. I have no idea how you have created such an amazing love story in such an amazing setting - but I'm so hooked. I never - NEVER comment on blogs or anything, but I had to chime in here if for nothing else to let you know, Amy, what a wonderful writer you are.

This series is so addicting and I'm sure one more book cannot cover all that I see having to be solved. First and foremost I can't say whether I am for any team, But if having to choose so I would say Reed. Reason being is basically what I feel is that there is a reason Evie is having to evolve, I feel at some point she will have to let go of Russell. She will not have to protect him he is getting stronger quick. I feel physically he can help but soul wise he is holding her back from fully evolving. Basically its like her soul is wanting to move on but he his holding her through guilt. Remember her father is of the divine, There is more to this then she can fathom at this point. There is a reason there past lives always end up the way they do and she has yet to know.Russell deserves to be happy but will never be with Evie. I think Brownie is the one but hes holding on to his past lives so tight he can't see anyone but Evie. Her soul knows what will come in the end where as he refuses to see it. Something definetly needs to give with that. Brennus we all know is a great character, Evil yet still wanting her for all her goodness, the forbidden fruit as we would say. Kind of endearing, she brings out the best in him but I do know Goodness wins out in the end. Her purpose is much higher than going to him. Reed loves her for her and is starting to realize that he will not be able to change her as she with him. True love is definetly there. I think in the end her choice will not be of choosing who to be with, but choosing to accept what she is and fully evolve or proceed to go on this way and live in emotional agony and constantly being put in bad situations. There is a reason in the end why she was created and a bigger plot as to why this is going on we all still don't know.

I am dying to know what Russel did that made Evie leave him and become what she is now. Clearly Reed is her new destiny due to Russel's betrayal. Russel somehow blew it. Brennus is a spoiled butt who only wants to own things. He is incapable of true love. So I gotta give to the Reed man, hands down.

Hmmm,Could very well be Tara, But something still tells me that Russell is her past tense regarding falling in love. There was definitely something he had done for her soul to block him out. Reed knows something is had gone on. Not what though, And eventually she has to remember those lives. Would be pretty cool if she may have to go head to head with russell one day, he may evolve into something evil or take a dark side. Who knows,lol

My thoughts on the Evie and Russell deal is that Russell must of ditched Evie in their last lifetime together and possibly fell in love with someone else. Which led, Evie a lifetime alone without a soulmate or true love. Got to love all the speculation.... Can't wait for the next book to tell all:) Then of course, you all realize that we will be on pins and needles waiting for the next book:) Gotta love Amy!!!!

I'm thinking if Russel did something it would have to have been pretty severe to have translated to another lifetime. Something like marrying someone else for money or position and then flaunting it in front of Evie and using her. It would have to have been big to scar a soul.

'nother question: All this magic Evie and Russel are doing; seems more than angel. I'm wondering if Evie's Mom had some faerie in her. That might also explain why the Gancanagh's weapons responded to her touch. If she is, that would also make it hard for Brennus to change her. She may be the last living remnant of the faerie world and he might not want to destroy that.

To be totally honesty I'm quit tired of the whole love square thing going on. I mean I kinda feel bad for Russ and Big B but not really. Russ had several chances to get with Evie and change her mind in the first couple of books before her and Reed were united. But even though they were soul mates and apart of her still called to him, the part that loves Reed is even stronger. I think its a little sadistic for them to be messing with each other like they do, how can you let your heart heal if your constantly reopening the wound. I'm very interested to see what happens with the whole bit about how Russ probably did something wrong to Evie in their last life together maybe then he will finally move on. Big B is just a crazy stalker boy, who isn't really in love with Evie just the danger that she brings, she's the new toy that everyone wants. But once you finally get it you realize you never truly wanted it and it ends up in the bottom of the toy chest. Also, I don't see how Evie could change her mind even if she wanted to I was under the impression that once your were bonded it was impossible to ever become unbounded. So in-order for her to ever leave Reed she would have to do something that is completely impossible.

Something is telling me that if she chooses Russell the outcome will be bad, don't want to spoil it for those that didn't finish the last book yet. But for those of us that do know, what happened when she taught Russell what she learned and what happened when Reed got her? Dark and light,Cannot wait for this next book. I'm rereading the first three and trying to connect everything. Love your books Amy. You keep me guessing,lol Uggggh the wait is killing me but I know its worth it.

Team Reed! I love all 3 of them, but I do believe that Evie would only be Evie with Reed at her side. Russel is her "soul mate" but that also makes me wonder what it is exactly that went on in their past life that has caused her to fight against their connection and be with Reed? There was something that had to have happened that resulted in this change in her. Reed was the one to ask Russel (in the bar scene in Indebted) what happened, and I've been wondering the same thing since reading that tid bit. Bren... if circumstances where different, I'd be all for him winning Evie for himself, but I think that he deserves to find someone else where the connection is not something forced or based on the fact that Evie is the only one woman whom doesn't turn into a mindless drugged up zombie that he's found thus far. Some part of me kind of secretly wishes that Russel and Brownie would fall for one another, but I don't see that happening now. Reed has a piece of Evie that nobody will ever be able to hold up to. I part of her will always yearn for him and be left empty if Reed isn't hers and vice-versa.

I'm actually pretty torn. All three of the guys need to grow up a bit in my opinion. Russell is a bit too focused on the whole "soulmate" thing. He doesn't seem to grasp that she doesn't want him. But then again, he hasn't tried to hurt her for it. Brennus is great. I mean, when I get to his part, I always expect main plot points. But he needs to put Evie's feelings into account and try to have some understanding. Reed. God bless him, but he really needs to wake up. Evie is a growing Seraph who needs lore support than just being hidden and cradled everywhere. They are bonded, and the bind shouldn't be that unequal. I think Evie has more respect for those who respect her. Who wouldn't? Brennus and Russell have faith that she can handle most of herself. And the fact that Reed doesn't have that faith by now scares me. That's all. I'm. On team Evie. She is the woman, afterall. I think she deserves a say. :)

Totally team Reed here. But I do have a soft spot for both Russell (so sweet) and Brennus (even though I wish I didn't!). I thought Evie needed a theme song, and every time I hear Arms by Christina Perri I think of Evie and how she feels about Reed. Here is a link and below are the lyrics:

I am Team REED all the way!!! I get Brennus but I can't feel sorry for him..get over it already! I do feel sorry for Finn, I am glad that he has Molly and hope that they can both escape damnation together (somehow). I can't help but like Finn. As for Russell, I WANT him to be happy just like Evie wants him to be happy. It has to be right though, not just some character that seems good for him. I mean Evie is his soulmate! How would anyone compete with that?!! I am perplexed, however, Evie and Reed are perfect for eachother and must remain together. I love to see how jealous they get for eachother. It always makes me smile. I can't wait to meet Tau and learn of his connection to Evie and why he has stayed out of the picture. I want Reed to rise to the top somehow and come out from under his caste as a Power though I do love the fact that the higher angels are disgusted by Evie's binding to him. Love conquers all!!! I am so fortunate that I just barely stumbled upon these books because I don't have to wait too long for the next but what about the next?!! Waiting is torture! I can't wait to get my mind wrapped around the next book. I anticipate finding out what happens next and what other power will come to fight alongside Evie as Reed leads them in the war. Go Reed! Also, to find out what is to become on Russell who seems to be pretty confident with himself aside from not having Evie. The shapeshifting thing scares me though. I hope he does not take that too far as so deceive Evie or something. He has reacted questionably in the past where Evie is concerned. My mind is running wild. There are too many shady details at the end of the last book that worry me. It is like I am holding my breath until I know the outcome. Hopefully my kids and hubby won't need me during the time it takes me to read the next book cause I know that I will not be able to put it done. Help!!!

The books were better then I thought they would be after reading just the first one. Reed has managed to completely irritate and turn me off from the first book and that feeling has not dissipated. His controlling and uncompromising personality manages to put Evie into situations where she feels she cant even go to him for help or she will be risking her freedom of choice.He is a really dominating and arrogant character that makes decisions for the one he is supposed to love.

I just got done reading book three and flew over to the website to see about book four! I can't wait to read it! I get scooped up in the world that Evie is in and I must admit that I see where she has the pull from all three Reed, Russel, & Brennus. Reed is her guidance, her first love in this life, they have a bond that is unimaginable and graced by God. I also see where she could love Russel. I am partial to Russel also because I am a Southern gal and us Southeners stick together y'hear and when he mentioned grits LAWD I was done for?! lol He has been her rock for the past many lives. When their together she doesn't have to think she can just act natural. He is natural to her like the air she breaths he is essential to her life. Now, Brennus- oh my dang Brennus. I have mixed feelings for him. I actually voted him on the poll without thinking, but I am not sure now after reading what he said in the chapter one of the fourth book and the end of the third book. Russell had said that she got caught up in them and that they only showed her the good side of being a gahvenvampthing. In chapter one he says something to the effect of how she betrayed him and how she would pay for it the rest of her life. I understand that he was hurt, but Reed or Russel would never make her suffer they would only want her happiness. Brennus has not learned how to truly love yet. He still has an underlying darkness that needs to expelled before they can move on, but he also knows her blood and what she truly desires. Their love can be huge if she would let it be, but will she? I know that Amy Bartol will have Evie end up with Reed, but I feel like it is such a hard decision.Like another person's post said they all give her something she needs. UGH I am so confused! Can she just send a clone to each of them and they be happy!? I want them all to be happy and neither of them can seem to live without her. Reed burns for her and the are angelically bonded. Russel suffers for her and she is his soul mate. Brennus pines for her and calls her his heart. They each have a piece of her heart. AMY BARTOL YOU HAVE ME ALL OVER THE DANG PLACE! I need to read that next book! ASAP

Evie HAS to stay with Reed otherwise the 1st 3 books are a lie. Evie has always fought to get back to Reed and her family. She loves Brennus but not with the passion and depth that needs for her to be with him eternally or at all. He IS like a freaky stalker and has the best intentions but is not for her at all. He is like the fling you have before you wake up to reality. Was fun while it lasted and Evie took what she needed to make her stronger. Reed doesn't want her as a powerful toy whereas Brennus does, he is evil when all is said and done!! I will be soo disappointed if it goes the wrong way.

Okay first of all I love, love Reed but Brennus has stolen a little piece of my heart. I know he loves Evie because of the way he is with her when they are alone. You know he is kind and he became a gancanagh to be with his brother and the way he has opened up to Evie. Brennus also has the bad side because of what he is and for all the years he's been a "vampire". Russell is sweet but not for me. I hope in the next book they find someone for him and Brennus.

Hey amy! Just was kinds reading incendiary for the thousandth time and I was wanting to officially say what team I'm on. I think most readers are either 100% Reed or Russel. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Reed with a deep, burning passion but j cant help but feel the tiniest bit of love for Brennus too. All throughout the book I was wanting so bad to think "uh. I HATE Brennus, I want Reed to decapitated him." But I absolutely cannot bring myself to do it. Sure, hes minipulitive, evil, deranged, violent, and a complete a-hole at times. But not one person can deny that he really does love Evie. He'd do anything for her and to be with her. He really does seem lost without her and the passion between Evie and him is undeniable. I love how you have brought your characters up and really put depth behind every scene you write. You bring up that ' guilty pleasure' emotion that comes with brennus quite wonderfully. I'm so torn.... :)
