Anya is charged with uncovering the mystery that lies behind the fiery death of Jasper Bernard. Jasper was an elderly Detroit man who found a way to use his knowledge of black magic and ancient artifacts to travel back and forth through several astral planes. His death opens up the doorway to a supernatural battle that will have alarming implications for the spirit and physical world. And in order for the battle to be won, Anya must face off with Hope Solomon. Hope is a celebrity psychic who wants to use the knowledge that Jasper acquired to collect thousands of souls. The collection of these souls and Hope's plan to store these souls in a Pandora's-Box-Genie-In-A Bottle sort of fashion will unleash Hell on Earth and make Hope more powerful than Lucifer himself. Aided by the DAGR, a kooky bunch of ghostbusters and scientists, her salamander familiar-Sparky, and Charon-angel of death, Anya will travel to hell and back to defeat Hope and protect the balance of good and evil.

Bickle does a great job of transporting the reader back and forth between the city of Detroit and the psychic planes she explores in the book. The characters are smart and funny. SPARKS is a fast paced and entertaining read.
