A very interesting take on the serial killer genre, I really enjoyed this story, it flowed well and was informative. Andi Ellis was standing around watching a ball game when she was struck by lightning, she died, but lucky for her, someone knew CPR and was able to resuscitate her and she lived, though she had marks from the lightning, called lightning trees, which usually go away after a little while, she's had hers for years, and at times she glows. Andi decides to move away from where the strike happened and ends up meeting a guy and having a child with him, though he gets very possessive and after someone who she was close to gets hurt, she decides to leave and ends up in a remote area where a number of others live, a rag tag group with plenty of space between them that live off the grid. Andi is constantly looking over her shoulder fearing her ex will come back for her daughter, she's also terrified of lightning and wears a device that alerts her if a lightning strike is possible. In another story line, two private investigators, Linnea and Rio, get together to try and track down the daughter of a senator who had gone missing, they do find it, but way too late, they are able to view the body which has lightning type marks on it, which leads them to a larger number of other bodies with similar marks, which puts them on the trail of a serial killer. A very interesting story told very well, I would recommend. Thanks to #Netgalley and #Crooked Lane books for the ARC.

J Todd Scott has a gift. This book is the epitome of thriller, suspense
with just a touch of cult classic in the mix. This is truly an original
story. For folks who are terrified of lightening, this book will give even
more reasons for the terror. The story is so well constructed and the
scenery and characters are well explained with the background
perfectly set well beyond your average thriller.
I was happy when the entire adventure wrapped up with the good
guys mostly ahead, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book!
