Claire's Review 5 of 5 Stars
When I was offered this book by the author in exchange for an honest review I was snowed under in review books and really didn't have the time to take on more but something about this book intrigued me and I couldn't help myself to snap it up despite it not being the type of book I usually read.
The Storm took me completely by surprise and I couldn't put it down, reading it in 24 hours! Jana is such a great strong character and someone I would love to have as a friend in real life. She goes through so much In what seems to be such a relatively short space of time. This book has you going through such a vast amount of emotions, feeling for everything that happens, I literally cried in parts and couldn't stop smiling in others.
Laura Lexington Is definitely an up and coming author to keep your eyes on and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for her next book.
