This was the first Susan May Warren novel I have read, and I had high hopes for it. The summary was very intriguing and the beginning captured my interest right away. Unfortunately, due to several reasons, Storm Front just didn't live up to expectations.

I found the multiple POVs very confusing, and it drew me out of the story to be constantly switching between four different people's distinct stories. While Ty and Brette are the true main characters, Ben and Kacey's story, while interesting (actually I liked their characters better than Ty and Brette), just muddled things up for me.

The plot felt very disjointed and all over the place, and the characters didn't seem very smart or realistic. (Gotta hurry up and save some people because time's running out, but let's take 5 and make out in the parking lot? Hello?)

And on that note, the another main reason this was a one star for me was the romance. It was nearly entirely based on physical attraction, which is so not what I want to read about. There was a distinct lack of depth and realisticity in Ty and Brette's relationship. Also, far too many overly described kisses for my taste. Um, no thanks. This quote particularly really rubbed me the wrong way:

"You have no idea how you look when you talk about God. He's in you or something because when you say it, I believe it."

"Really?"

"Mmmhmm. And it's completely . . . I don't know. Sexy. Or charming, or maybe just breathtaking."

Really? The definition of sexy is "having sexual appeal". How can someone's love for God have sexual appeal? And if you think it does, then . . . something is not right. It's turning something spiritual into something physical, which just seems weird.


Also, the inaccuracies bothered me and drew me out of the story. There were multiple medical and weatherscientific inaccuracies that had me pausing. For example, Ty twists his previously broken knee severely and thinks he probably won't be able to walk for the next several days. But, he doesn't even get it checked out by a doctor and is completely fine walking, and it's not mentioned again until a few chapters later when he now has a limp.

Overall, this isn't a book I enjoyed, nor would I recommend it. ( )

Storm Front is really good. It about a woman that blogs about storms. She in one herself but it has to do with beating her own storm. There mission for the Peak Team to help recuse some students and leading member of the peak team named Chet.

Will they find them. We meet Ty and the crew. It not always the storms that destroyed and leave us less destruction but we go through that with faith at as well. We learn alot about god and his grace throughout this book.

Brette thinks she can do everything herself. She get angry the one and feels like she can not depend on the one person she truly. That one person is god and having faith. She is scared but are we not all scared. We can not have it all without faith or him.

Ty also learns as well. He can not fix everything. He can be there but he need to let Brette come to him. Ty also learns lesson as well

Susan does a wonderful job of showing grace though the book and telling of this story. She had me in tears and hoping for Brette and Ty. Will they make it? Will they survive? Will the students be found?

We see what twisters can do? We also learn about twisters a bit in the story. Will they survive or will they not? ( )

Another fantastic book by the highly talented Susan May Warren! I love her ability to completely capture me and keep me on the edge of my seat, while weaving inspiring messages through out! This book is filled with amazing, heart capturing characters and just the right amount of plot twists, and I highly recommend it with 4 stars and two thumbs up! ( )

I am really enjoying this series by Warren. Thinking this was the last one, I was surprised by the ending. It was a cliffhanger and I look forward to the next book. Somehow she gives every character a full and deep personality that you remember from book to book. This one got us back to Ty and Brette and reveals their struggles with the recent past. It also seems to bring Ben and Kacey full circle. Highly recommend this series. ( )

This series gets better and better with each book. It was interesting to see what storm chasers do and then what can happen after the devastation of a tornado. I love all the characters in Peak and how they are all coming back in each book. This is definitely a series that you want to read in order to enjoy each story to the best. I received this book from Revell for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )
