I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.Clarissa Johal again delivers an intriguing paranormal mystery with "Struck." Unlike the fan-favorite paranormal books about vampires and werewolves, Clarissa's paranormal stories leave me wondering "what if this is real?" Having read Clarissa's books before, I noticed stronger character and plot development in "Struck." She is growing as a writer, which is a great thing to see. I am pleased to have found her books and will continue to follow her."Struck" begins as the main character, Gwynneth (Gwen), has just moved to a new city to escape a bad relationship. Although the move was difficult, Gwen found a job with the goal of starting new. The move was made easier by the one constant in her life -- the unconditional support of her best friend, Seth. But life throws Gwen another curve when she's struck by lightning one stormy night.As if that wasn't enough, something else happens to Gwen the night of the storm and it plagues her long after. Something in her "got used up" and haunts her. A mysterious man named Julius repeatedly appears in Gwen's dreams. He shows her things in these dreams and wants something in return. What he wants is terrifying. If you are like me, you won't want to put the book down once you start reading. So you should start reading now!
