Taken by Storm
by Barnes, Jennifer Lynn
Hope Adams is grieving the sudden death of her brother when she finds herself drawn to a mysterious boy who seems to know more about her family history than she does. What starts as a desperate search for answers quickly spirals into a dangerous game involving hidden abilities and secrets buried deep within her small town. The pacing here is relentless, mirroring the feeling of being watched, and the atmosphere is thick with the unease of not knowing who to trust. It hits that sweet spot between a high-stakes thriller and an intense, forbidden romance where every interaction feels like a calculated risk. If you enjoy stories where the familiar world peels back to reveal something darker and more complicated, and you like your protagonists forced to grow up fast under pressure, this is going to keep you up late.
