About this listen
LOYALTY MEANS EVERYTHING.
BETRAYAL MEANS DEATH.
From a young age I knew this to be true and loyal I remained.
To my friends, to my boyfriend Chris, to my school Sally Brown. I fought, bled, and cried for them. That is until my parents forced my transfer.
Thrown into the dangerous world of my greatest School rival, Kent Wood, I had to figure out how to stay in the shadows.
So Loran Black disappeared and in her place Lovota Miller, a small alternative school girl emerged.
Everything was going according to plan until the cheer captain knocked on my door.
As I befriended my middle school nemesis and was forced to associate with Chris's basketball rival, I knew that hiding in the shadows wasn't going to be an option for long.
Tensions were on the rise and soon I would have to decide, what loyalty really meant.
For fans of The Hunger Games and Maze Runner

His jaw clenches and his eyes flash from gray to green. I feel Neoma come to the surface, letting her eyes shine their lighter blue to my dark ones. She’s not happy with the comment either. His nostrils flare. It’s considered a challenge. He growls low and my temper gets the better of me… I match it. I can see if only for a split second it surprises him.

Since Jake’s inability to connect with others had made him somewhat of an outcast for most of his life, he’d learned to divert his energy into his artistic talent, creating mesmerizing images capable of literally paralyzing anyone who should gaze upon them.

If you throw an Irish billionaire out of a plane at 40,000 feet, would he fly? That's the question I ask myself on our flight when Declan Bryne told me that it’d be “grand" if I could stop talking. I can’t help it. I’m a nervous flyer. But that should've been my sign to hit EJECT! Because this is doomed to fail. He’s a total grump. He obviously doesn’t like me. He's too distractingly gorgeous to be around for any length of time. And he’s made it clear that as soon as he can find another nanny, I’m gone.

Unlike other werewolves, I never wanted a mate. I would rather teach stupid mortals than inherit my family business as my father wished. Because I hated my blood. But I met her, in a bar, on a chaotic night. She's so distinguished, and her scent drove me crazy. With all my strength, I forced myself to leave because I didn't want to entangle this innocent girl in my abyss. But she reappeared in my class. Loving her seemed to have already been written in my genes, and I couldn't resist her no matter how hard I tried.

Excellent debut novel
Lightning Rising by Kristen Satterfield embarks on an absorbing narrative steeped in suspense, alliances, and turbulent change. Loran finds herself thrust into a new school devoid of friends and parental support, yet her resilience remains steadfast. If she is to survive, she must face the challenges of her new reality—a reality her oblivious parents fail to comprehend. Loran confronts the complexities of adolescence and the transformative power of resilience in the face of adversity. Tension builds in this story, and I will await book 2.
