Mentioned in the pages of the Septuagint but lost to history, the Book of the Wars has resurfaced, and its pages hold secrets--and dangers--never before seen on earth.
Tasked with capturing the ancient text, former Navy SEAL Leif Metcalfe is finally given command of his own team. But their best efforts are ruined when a notorious Bulgarian operative known as "Viorica" snatches the volume right out from under them.
Iskra "Viorica" Todorova is determined to use the book to secure the thing that matters most--freedom. But a series of strange storms erupts around the globe and the coming dangers foretold in the text threaten crops, lives--entire nations. Though both are haunted by secrets of the past and neither trusts the other, Leif and Iskra must form an uneasy alliance to thwart impending disaster. However, the truth hidden in two-thousand-year-old words could unleash the storm of their own destruction.
My Thoughts
OH MY GOODNESS! What an epic adventure! I've been sitting here for awhile trying to find the right words to describe the sheer awesomeness that was this book. I'll never be able to do it justice, but I'll try.
Intense and action-packed, Storm Rising was an exciting, heart-pounding, nonstop thrill ride that never slowed down. It's Kendig at her finest. I'm probably sounding like a broken record by now because I say this with every new book from her, but she's really outdone herself this time. How does she keep doing it? If I could give this book more than five stars, I would. It's just that good.
I couldn't read it fast enough. The action starts right at the very beginning and hardly ever lets up, leaving me with barely enough time to take a breath. There were several mind-blowing moments that left me speechless and my mouth gaping open in shock. Moments where I had to put my Kindle down for a minute to digest it all and wonder about the implications.
I want to talk about so much more, but don't want to spoil anything. So, I'll just leave it here with a huge recommendation to grab yourself a copy. Just be prepared for the most epic book hangover you'll ever have.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
