TBR Tuesday: Struck



TBR Tuesday: Showcasing all the books that are currently staring at you from your "Why aren't you reading me?" pile....


On my TBR

Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
373 pages
Published May 8th 2012 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux BYR
Mia Price is a lightning addict. She’s survived countless strikes, but her craving to connect to the energy in storms endangers her life and the lives of those around her.

Los Angeles, where lightning rarely strikes, is one of the few places Mia feels safe from her addiction. But when an earthquake devastates the city, her haven is transformed into a minefield of chaos and danger. The beaches become massive tent cities. Downtown is a crumbling wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the revelers drawn to the destruction by a force they cannot deny. Two warring cults rise to power, and both see Mia as the key to their opposing doomsday prophecies. They believe she has a connection to the freak electrical storm that caused the quake, and to the far more devastating storm that is yet to come.

Mia wants to trust the enigmatic and alluring Jeremy when he promises to protect her, but she fears he isn’t who he claims to be. In the end, the passion and power that brought them together could be their downfall. When the final disaster strikes, Mia must risk unleashing the full horror of her strength to save the people she loves, or lose everything.

I just went to a Fierce Reads signing. And it was awesome. I'll talk more about it soon, but until then, I just want to say I picked up a signed copy of Struck (eep!) and had my fortune told by Jennifer Bosworth, and yeah, I can't wait to read this. 
Except that I have no idea when I'll actually be able to...But it's sitting pretty on my shelves, so - #score!
Also, remember when I showed you the trailer for this? No? Well, then here you go:


What's staring at you beseechingly from your TBR pile?
