Storm Crossed is one of those books I let sit in my TBR pile for months. Literally, months. I don’t know why but I kept telling myself, “You need to go read that.” Then for some unknown reason, I was dreading it. At one point I started it, got about a page in and said, “No, I don’t want to read this.” I just wasn’t ready. I put it back on my TBR list and continued on with other things. Fast forward about seven months. Yes. SEVEN. I finally read it and let me tell you … I’m asking myself why in the heck I didn’t read this sooner. Oh, my God. Hands down, this book should be a movie.

I hadn’t read anything by Lesley Mitchum prior to Storm Crossed and I think that’s what fed into my anxiety about it. Typically, with a new author, I don’t have that issue but I -really- wanted to like this book. Well, I more than like this book. I’m completely enamored with the story, the plot and the author’s writing style. I want more. I want another book. I want a series. I did not put the book down once after I started it.

That being said. I don’t want to go into massive details about this book. The blurb is fantastic in that regard and I’m afraid if I give you more details it will take away from the story. I’d waiting so long to Storm Crossed that I went into it blind and I’m thankful for that.

A few things I will mention. This book is a stand alone but you will want more. I’m not exactly sure if it’s under new adult or young adult, I need to clarify that but it can definitely be read by anyone. I’d hand this to one of my baby cousins. In fact, I already plan to have both my mother and older sister read this.

A fantastic novel that will draw you in, and leave you wanting more. 4.5 Storm Seeking Stars
