FREE SHORT STORY, LIGHTNING CRIMES
Cover: Chrys Fey
MY REVIEW
Donovan and Beth have been through a hurricane and an earthquake, so a lightning storm should be a piece of cake and Chrys Fey’s descriptive writing makes me feel like I am there with them, through the clashing of the thunder, the flashes of the lightning, the pounding of the rain and the roaring of the wind, but there is more…a rock through a window, an open door that was locked, wet footprints on carpet…Chrys can create a suspenseful read whether its danger from storms or humans.

GOODREADS BLURB
*Lightning Crimes is a short story (22 pages) set between Seismic Crimes and Tsunami Crimes. A freak lightning storm unleashes its energy on Central Florida. Bolts of lightning crash to the ground. Torrential rain soaks everything within seconds. And the power goes out, casting Beth and Donovan’s apartment into darkness. Beth is already on edge after receiving a menacing phone call several months ago, and this storm doesn’t help with her nerves.
Donovan tries to distract her from Mother Nature’s tantrum, but someone else has other plans. When they find the front door to their apartment wide open, they soon realize it isn’t an accident. Someone is in their apartment with them.
What crime can happen as fast as lightning?

I think it takes a talented writer to successfully make capricious weather events an exciting antagonist. Sounds like a good series.
Hi Priscilla! I have fun playing with weather in my books. 🙂
This sounds interesting. It sounds like these characters have been through a lot. It is great that the author is able to make the storm come alive.
