Lightning in My Wake is the first book I've read by Lila Felix, and I'm not sure why I waited so long, other than my "to read" list is simply too long. This story is full of passion, intensity, and some really awesome abilities. It's packed with an amazing amount of history on the Lucent and digs even deeper as the story progresses. This remarkable tale is told from both Colby and Theo's perspectives.Colby is a Lucent, which means she can travel the world in the blink of an eye. All she has to do is think about a place and she's there in seconds. Colby's mother is also a Lucent, or Flasher as they used to call it. That's how it works; daughters get the power from their mothers. But once every so often, a male can inherit the gift as well. It's generally not as significant in men, and they are limited in their power. After growing up loving each other to their cores, Colby breaks it off with Theo when she learns he can flash. It's the only way to keep him safe from their enemies, and to keep him from suffering the same fate as her father. After two years, Theo returns with some very startling news that will change everything they thought they knew.Lightning in My Wake is such a unique story built on a solid foundation with a cast of strong and alluring characters. It amazes me that there are still new stories as good as this to be told, and I feel fortunate every time I happen upon one of these gems. Felix blew me away with this one and I can't wait to read more of her work, especially the next book in this series. Gah! What a way to end it.I highly recommend Lightning in My Wake to all fans of paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, and romance.I want more, more, more!
