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.Mention About Books Struck (Struck #1)

Struck was amazing! I really loved it, it isn't one of my favorite books but for what it was, it was exciting and entertaining and Mia's adventures are incredible. :)SpoilersLightening addict Mia has been holding her family together since the earthquake that hit LA. Food, medicine and help are scarce, many people have become homeless and have resorted to stealing to get by. With little help from the rest of the world, two factions - the Followers led by a man calling himself the Prophet and the Seekers have taken over LA and they both want Mia and the power she yields. -Mia was the typical YA heroine - she was a loner, nobody understood her, she had a
This book just did not ever click with me in a positive way. I guess I'll just write a list of things that bugged me. It will be good to vent about it before I have to write an official, less annoyed review.1. The writing. Sometimes, good writing can push a mediocre book over the edge to a five star review for me. If the writing is un-noticeable, I am not mad that it isn't better written. THIS book -- I was reading the plethora of cliche, boring similes out loud to my co-workers in the break
MY THOUGHTSABSOLUTELY LOVED ITIf you grew up in LA like I did, you fear earthquakes, well, not so much fear them as accept them as a fact of life. You know one is going to hit sometime, you just don't know when. Lightening strikes are much less of a concern since near the beach, the storms are at a minimum. Mia and her family are forced to move from Lake Havasu to Venice Beach when she creates a stir by harming a man during a lightening strike. Her biggest issue is that she craves the strikes
The short version of this review would go something like this:Such a fabulous premise wasted on clichéd writing, a daft story and stupid insta-love romance.Heres the long version:Mia is addicted to lightning. Shes survived countless strikes, her entire body (apart from her face, obviously) is covered in veiny scars and despite the danger and the fact that she has (unintentionally) hurt people because of it, she still craves lightning more than anything. Living in LA a place where lightning
This month I am giving a Shout-Out to Jennifer Bosworth, a former Maui Writers School graduate, who has an exciting YA book called STRUCK coming out from Farrar Straus Giroux this coming May. I was lucky enough to get an advanced reader copy. The premise is wonderful. Mia Price is a teen girl who has been struck by lightning - repeatedly. Enough so that she is addicted to the experience. Even her body has been altered as a result. She lives in an LA in which a combination of earthquakes and
I thought this book had a pretty cool concept, and the story had potential. But I didn't really care for it, and I can't really put my finger on why. I really struggled to get through it and had a hard time focusing because it was kind of dull.And I was left with so many, many questions. I still don't really understand what the REAL significance with the spark is and of those who have or had it. And I don't really understand why Jeremy wanted Mia to stay away from the Seekers (view spoiler)[I'm
