What happens when your best friend becomes your worst enemy?
Kya, the valedictorian of her high school class, has always kept her nose in her books and has never been a partier. But finally, it’s graduation, and she’s eager to attend her friend’s party.
But during the party, her illusions are shattered. What is supposed to be the best night of her life turns into a nightmare. Betrayed, battered, and bruised, she escapes her tormentor and ends up walking alone along the dark roads of her small hometown of Upton, Wyoming. Fortunately, a kind, sexy stranger in a pickup rescues her.
Now Kya must decide how to proceed. Will she let things slide to avoid the biggest scandal this small town has ever seen? Or will she condemn a friend to prison? And what will she do with her wonderful new protector who won’t let her out of his sight?
First Comes Thunder is a suspenseful tale where masks are unveiled, first love is powerfully overwhelming, and in one night, everything changes forever.
Kya and Jake's story is a story about facing some hard situations and growing from them. Learning who they are and how to heal. Kya is shy and sweet, Jake starts out as a mysterious guy that we slowly learn more about. Their story is a clean romance and sweet to see how they progress through the book. The world build was pretty good. It got a bit crazy trying to remember some extended family but we do get learn some about them and I am really hoping to see more of all of them in future books.
I loved that this book approached what can, happen when unrequited love mixes with mental illness and delusion. Sadly, the dark part of this book was the most believable and realistic portion. It was well written and I suppose if you believe in fairy tales, it would give you warm fuzzies.
Very well written, the characters are deep and evolving. It is very good, but I don't like stories that are so close to TRUE So I did not finish it. I would recommend the story to people who like real-life stories. Me, I need a pooka or a Coyote or Raven to make it impossible and then I can read their real-life problems.
