Struck


Mia Price is a lightning addict. She’s survived countless strikes, but her craving to connect to the energy in storms endangers her life and the lives of those around her.

Los Angeles, where lightning rarely strikes, is one of the few places Mia feels safe from her addiction. But when an earthquake devastates the city, her haven is transformed into a minefield of chaos and danger. The beaches become massive tent cities. Downtown is a crumbling wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the revelers drawn to the destruction by a force they cannot deny. Two warring cults rise to power, and both see Mia as the key to their opposing doomsday prophecies. They believe she has a connection to the freak electrical storm that caused the quake, and to the far more devastating storm that is yet to come.

Mia wants to trust the enigmatic and alluring Jeremy when he promises to protect her, but she fears he isn’t who he claims to be. In the end, the passion and power that brought them together could be their downfall. When the final disaster strikes, Mia must risk unleashing the full horror of her strength to save the people she loves, or lose everything.



Hardcover, 373 pages

Expected publication: May 8th 2012 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux BYR


Why This Books?
Okay, this might sounds crazy but I am in love with the look of lightning! Yes, I am terrified of them because I am scared of beeing zap by them but I am intrigued by their beauty. #ConfessionTime, I kind of wish I can control lightning...and that's why I am waiting for this book. :D

  3. It's not crazy that you like lightening..i think it's beautiful and i love black and white photos of it. I love to sit by the fire and watch storms while sipping my coffee..to me it's oddly romantic. Love the cover and I am defiantly intrigued by the synopsis.
