The actual whole idea of Mia Price being a lightening addict is actually pretty original. I haven't seen any story like it. The thing is, while the story is amazingly cool -- or could've been -- there are so many Mary/Gary Sue-ness in the novel that it turned into a complete turn-off for me. 1. The ...
I seem drawn to the dystopian genre lately and there are plenty of them out there. I was immediately pulled into this story. A girl who is struck by lightning, multiple times, is not something you read about every day. Mia seems likeable but I wanted to know more about her. We get peeks into the pas...
This review was first posted on Music, Books and TeaI'm slightly unsure over how is best for me to write this review. This book was not what I expected it to be, and I'm still trying to work out whether or not that was a good thing. It had many of the qualities of a great book, yet something fell a ...
How often do you come across a lightning addict protagonist? That alone made me want to read Struck. Add it with a plot where a cult leader brainwashes people to become followers and leave out destruction to the rest of the world, and you just completely sold me a good story. Unfortunately, this boo...
Also appears on my blog, The YA Kitten! My copy was an ARC I got through a swap with a friend.I sit here with this book next to me and have just seventy pages left until I reach the end. For the last two-hundred pages or so, I have been skimming and forcing myself to keep reading but I can't do that...
Mainstream readers, come hither, because I have a feeling Struck may strike your interest. However, since I’m one of those hipsters who chooses to drink milk tea and listen to musicians no one’s heard of (and yes, sarcastic mode is activated here), I was very interested in it initially, but it just ...
"That had nothing to do with his power, and everything to do with the power of his words, and the time he chose to say them. He spoke to people's fear, and the fear listened."I feel like that one sentence sums up this book. What happens when disaster strikes, literal disaster, and you're left to pic...
Where should I start? Should I start with how this was yet another book I picked up for the cover? No, that's a lie. The premise was so promising and the beginning left me craving to be struck, again and again, by what was supposed to be a riveting story.Then came all the religious zealots stuff and...
Starts out with a great voice but I was surprised at how much of the book is dedicated to the religious cult instead of the main character. I wanted to learn about this girl with a really unique power and I didn't get that. The tone is very one note - it left me disturbed and uncomfortable with no...
I requested this book because the blurb sounded pretty interesting but I'm sorry to say that I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as I wanted to. This book reminded me of A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davis. This story revolves around good versus evil but the evil guys in this book are what people ...
