My Thoughts: This is a whole new concept. The fact that
people are the cause of natural disasters is such a fantastic idea. Why didn’t
anyone think of this sooner? This isn’t the first of Holly Hook’s books that I
have read, I also read Tempest and I had the same reaction (review for that one
coming soon). Anyway, back to the book. I am a Wisconsinite. I love that the
main character is from Wisconsin, there needs to be more of that. I have always
had a fascination with tornadoes so it was easy for me to connect with the
character although I don’t think I have the guts to go tornado chasing. We have
enough tornado warnings here that scare the crap out of me I can’t imagine
going after them.
What kind
of story would it be without the best friend who helps you when you need it the
most? Tommy is a great character and the backbone for Allie. She has been
through so much and Tommy is the reminder of her old life and who she is, just
what she needs when she feels more unlike herself than ever. Of course his
feelings for her is a bit predictable.
Her connection
with Dorian is very intriguing and I love it. There is something definitely there
and it gives us the love triangle. Sort of. They don’t actually say anything
about it but I have a feeling its going to grow it something good.
Overall, I
really like this series and I can’t wait to continue it!
