The Stormchasers: A Novel

Not a big fan of the author's style, but I could have dealt with that if she'd stopped trying to hit me over the head with her sledgehammer of a metaphor comparing storms with mental illness. It was a good comparison, she just over used it.

The first section was pretty good - it held my attention for the most part. She obviously did her storm chasing research (as evidenced by the acknowledgments at the end). After that though things started to fall apart. By the time she got to the big reveal in the second section, I was bored and didn't care. I honestly didn't get why they didn't go to the police to begin with. The last section basically fumbles along until the author ties everything up in a pretty little bow. I prefer that my books have “endings” but I don't need them to be all cute and happy.
