Ratings and reviews

Storm, Texas is getting ready to celebrate Founders’ Day, but dark clouds are hovering over the residents’ lives. Tate Johnson might be bound for glory soon as his father asked him to succeed him as the town’s next mayor, and then Sebastian Rush (him again!), tells Tate he would take him as lieutenant-governor, if Sebastian is elected governor, obviously. But that should be a piece of cake, right? However, when Tate rushes to tell his lover Hannah his wonderful news, one of her puppies is missing, and she is not overly enthused about his announcement. His callousness makes her seriously rethink their relationship, until something huge happens with Tucker, Tate’s brother. Meanwhile Mallory tells her sister Dakota what she knows about Jacob’s childhood accident, and Dakota is now armed to the teeth against dastardly Sebastian, and she plans to take action, “consequences be damned”. Gavin Abernathy is visiting the Rushes with his parents; the Abernathys and the Rushes would like Gavin and Brittany Rush to be an item, but they’re just friends, and I have the feeling Gavin is destined for someone else… And Ginny’s world is about to implode, while she finds a most unlikely ally. Oh my goodness! How will I ever stand it until next spring!!! THUNDER ROLLS raises even more questions than it answers, and the suspense was killing me while racing to finish Episode 8! It occurred to me while reading, that we react differently to some characters’ decisions based on our own experiences, and that is genius! Another outstanding episode, where you go through the wringer, and live vicariously every emotion imaginable. A few new characters are introduced, and some of them are going to shake the Texas town even more in the future. O the delicious agony of having to wait, think about all that’s happened, all that is yet to come! RISING STORM is one of the most ingenious literary ideas I have ever seen, and it is such a joy to see that is done so brilliantly. Terrific writing throughout, fabulous cliffhangers in every episode, great characters that you love and hate – some simultaneously! – fictional people whom you care for. Bring it on, ladies! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My opinion is that the Rising Storm series has lived up to the hype. Shady characters, unrequited love, surprise twists and turns and lastly cliffhangers. This guilty pleasure brings me back every read. So it is fitting that episode 8 would center around a love triangle, a town get to gather and more nefarious deeds. I received an ARC of Thunder Rolls by Dee Davis in exchange for an honest review. With a heartbreaking choice, a surprise revelation and an explosive exposure this episode is the one I waited for all season. An explosive turn of events makes this not to be missed. The ultimate cliffhanger. What happens next? Will be coming back for more.
