Crashing Thunder

Silver Glade #2

by Carrie A. Smyth

Secrets and Lies.

Dylan McGinley has spent years dreaming about what his life would be like once Charles Sinclair's toxic hold on his family was revealed. In the aftermath of the disastrous Pep Rally, and with his father languishing in a maximum security prison, Dylan had hoped to finally put the nightmare that was his home life behind him. Rather than being set free by the truth, Dylan finds himself at the mercy of those who want to see him pay the price for the sins of his father.

Luke Santos has watched from the side lines as Silver Glade fell into darkness, taking with it his two former best friends. In spite of his best efforts he became trapped in Sinclair's snare, leaving his family in grave danger from those still loyal to their incarcerated leader.

With the majority of Silver Glade in denial about all that has happened during Sinclair's reign, Dylan and Luke find themselves growing closer. In the midst of further threats and increasing risk, will it be possible for the two boys to finally stop running from their past and the real reason their friendship came to a crashing stop. Secrets never stay hidden for long, but the consequences of being honest could be devastating.

Crashing Thunder is the second book in the Silver Glade series. It is not a standalone novel.

About the author

I was born and raised in the ‘Royal County’ of Ireland. I’ve been an avid reader of all genres from an early age, and love getting lost in the world’s created by my favorite authors. From the ballrooms of the Regency era to the clubhouse of an MC, via a plucky detective solving a crime, with a hint of the supernatural thrown in for good measure, there is always an adventure to find within the pages of a book.

For years I’ve been scribbling short stories, fan-fiction and the beginnings of novels, but it is only this year that I’ve had a real opportunity to complete a full length novel. It is my dream to see my words gracing the screens of e-readers, as well as in print and on the shelves of bookshops and libraries around the world.

My debut novel, Chasing Shadows, is a New Adult book which mixes romance with suspense and mystery.

I am currently working on a new trilogy of Contemporary Romance novels, set in Boston, and hope to have them ready in the New Year.
