Description Toward Books Struck (Struck #1)
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.

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'mReview originally posted at Mostly Reading YAPost Apocalyptic YA certainly seems to be becoming more and more popular and Struck definitely sounded a little bit different, with a synopsis that promised a lightning-addicted protagonist and two religious cults fighting for power, following an earthquake that devastates L.A.Though nothing about the writing really captured me, Struck is easy-going. It also has, as Ive mentioned, quite an intriguing concept, so it was a shame that nothing about the
I received a free digital copy through Net Galley.I was completely amazed by and in love with Struck from page one! I was first intrigued by Mia and her self-proclaimed addiction to being struck by lightning. That's crazy, but I had to know more about her! Then the setting completely captivated me. It's Los Angeles 4 weeks after the next major earthquake. The city is in ruin, there's looting, tons of homeless people, not enough food, water or medicine to go around. But most interesting of all is
My name is Mia Price, and I'm a human lightning rod. After an incredibly promising start and a lot of excitement on my part, the second half of Struck really fell flat and completely failed to impress me. On the surface, Struck is pretty original: a girl who gets hit by lightning over and over again is doing her best to keep her family alive and sane after a huge natural disaster, while being pulled in two different directions by religious fanatics and their opposers. Both groups are convinced
This may not be your book, but it's everyone else's book, so give it a try. It may not seem like much at the begining but... like it happened to me, it must be true for you too. I felt like i couldn't possibly read the book at first, (maybe it was the motion of the car) who knows. But i just could not. But i had no other book to read, and believe me, there is nothing worse than no book at all. So i kept on reading. Boy, am i glad! Thankfully i've got excuisite taste in books, and gave it a try.
Presenting Struck in several simple and cliche-ridden steps:1) Heroine lands herself in trouble.2) The new boy comes rushing to heroine's rescue. He apparently looks like "a European underwear model" with "tortured blue eyes".If you google "tortured blue eyes", this is what you get...Something tells me that this isn't what the author had in mind.3) Heroine and new boy are inexplicably drawn to one another. Heroine also inexplicably feels like she should avoid the bad guys... oh, this one's a
Book was awesome. Not even into that genre but totally kept my interest and that's saying something being I have ADD!!!!
