Teal needs a date to an ex’s wedding, and Carter needs to be married to earn his inheritance. Even though things are now tense and awkward between the once-best friends, a fake marriage seems like the best solution for everyone. But their perfect plan is complicated by Teal’s inability to control her family gift: power over the weather. Desperate for a way to keep her emotions from throwing the atmosphere into chaos, the two seek out Teal’s missing mother—and along the way, learn more about vulnerability, family and love.
Lightning in Her Hands (9 hours), the sequel to Raquel Vasquez Gilliland’s adult romance debut, Witch of Wild Things, is told from Teal’s point of view and narrated by Marcella Black. Black gives Teal a young, charming voice—one that draws readers into her emotional inner world. She expertly captures a range of Teal’s experiences, from the story’s fiery romance to its cheeky, adult humor to its deep, emotional drama. The result is a complex story that bridges the gap between romance and speculative fiction. Perfect for fans of both genres, Lightning in Her Hands makes for a fun, engaging listen.
