Struck: The Lightning Project Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 5 ratings

Ethan Thorn is a lot of things. The heroic type isn’t one of them.

A hacker with a tendency to self-isolate too much, Ethan is desperate for something different in life, something more exciting than the sleepy town of Orchard Side. Being “Struck” and waking up in a secret government facility in a New York skyscraper certainly wasn’t what he had in mind.

Against his will, he’s now part of The Lightning Project, a government program to turn average teens into crime-fighting superheroes. As much as Ethan hates it, there’s one thing he secretly loves about it: Adam, the project leader. He’s a sweet, shy, boy-next-door type, certainly not someone Ethan should be interested in. Nonetheless, Ethan finds himself drawn to Adam.

Faced with a devastating secret from The Lightning Project’s past, Ethan comes up against the most difficult choice of his entire life. Does he take his place as a member of the team, accept his destiny as a superhero, and bury the part of him that questions authority at every turn? Or does he go back to the life he hated in Orchard Side?

    This is most assuredly what I would call a YA tale. If your looking for lots of heat, this isn't your jam. If you're looking for adventure, intrigue, and some excellent world building on the other hand, this is right up your alley.
    While Ethan & Adam are our MC's, I have to say that the story read more like an ensemble. Yes, they take center stage, but only sometimes. Often K, Esther, Sierra, Tomas, and Laurel (the rest of the team) play roles seemingly just as important. I loved that approach.
    This is a very diverse caste and this adds so much depth and color to the tale.
    Very well written with a somewhat HFN, but clear setup for book two.
    REALLY looking forward to book two, lol!

    This isn’t my first or even second time reading Struck.

    Re-covered, re-edited and re-issued for you delectation, but most importantly, the same great story…

    And you think you’re having a bad day?! Pfft! Try being struck by lightning and finding out you’re the newest recruit in some secret government experiment to make teenage superheroes.

    Welcome to the life of 17-year-old Ethan Thorn.

    *nods*

    I’ve got your attention now, haven’t I?

    I adore Ethan. He has zero brain to mouth filter, wears his heart on his sleeve and has an uncanny ability to draw trouble due to a bad case of ‘headfirst-itis’ *snorts*.

    In fact, my inner monologue seems to scarily resemble that of a 17-year-old sarky teen. I would have fit right in at the Tower *snorts*. Considering I’m going to be the big 4-3 this month (in other words; ancient!) IDK what that says about me. *coughs* Let’s just forget I said anything *blushes*.

    Struck has it all for me – action-packed, diverse characters, laden with humour, a touch of romance (Adam & Ethan are too cute), perilous situations and the age-old battle between Good and Evil. Only who determines which is which? Coz let me tell you Ethan has questions.

    Ugh, as if being a teen isn’t complicated enough. Am I right?!

    I cannot wait for the return of The Lightning Project.

    Just remember one thing.

    Capes are so over!
