The world outside Ember Paine's window has gone mad. After a horrific virus wipes out the majority of the population, terrorists march door-to-door hunting down the survivors. When Ember's ten-year-old sister is kidnapped from their yard, she must leave the safety of her home. If she doesn't find Elizabeth before the bad men discover her gift. it could mean the end for all of them. Bravo! I am not a night person and have not recently read a book that made me stay up far past my bedtime in a long time! That is exactly what Lightening Strikes did for me. Every time I got to the end of a chapter the suspense was killing me to the point that I just had to continue. I fell in love with the characters quickly due to the outstanding job the author did in developing them. There was enough action in this book to keep me entertained as well as enough psychological depth to keep my mind racing to find out what happens next. I was very sad to see it end; however very excited that the author is making this a trilogy! Can't wait for the next one in the series! Reader Review
