Lightning by Bonnie S. Calhoun

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Lightning Revell (October 6, 2015) by Bonnie S. Calhoun

MY THOUGHTS:
After enjoying the first book in this series I was interested to see what this book would hold but sadly I was disappointed. The story was good and it was nice to get some more of the pieces of the puzzle. Unfortunately there were several corny moments, unrealistic coincidences, and a few other things that kept taking me out of the story. I also didn't connect with the characters all that well and most of them rubbed me the wrong way. I really tried to like this book and made it all the way through but it just wasn't for me. Please don't just take my word for it though and check out some other reviews!

ABOUT THE BOOK

After she found her real father, life for Selah should have felt settled. But the horrors have just begun. In her broken world of toxic earth and tribal clashes, Selah must battle the forces of nature alongside those in the Mountain who are calling for her blood. Haunted by the pain of mounting losses, she forges on, seeking her lost family and uncovering new mysteries.
