Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep,

and secrets have the power to destroy...

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children, Rising Storm is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.

With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of New York Times bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Jennifer Probst, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.

A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of Rising Storm, TEMPEST RISING, debuts September 24th with each subsequent episode releasing consecutively this fall.

So get ready. The storm is coming.

Reviews for TEMPEST RISING:

“After reading Tempest Rising by Julie Kenner I can honestly say it is everything I loved about those shows from the 80's and more; heart-stopping, twisted, engrossing, captivating, epic all describe this very first episode of Rising Storm. Even better I FELT like I was watching a television mini-series while reading it. Each time the "scene" changed, I held my breath wondering who was up next.”-Slick Reads, Guilty Pleasures Blog

My Review:
There are quite a few authors in this series that I love so it wasn't a hard decision to decide to read the series. I first started reading the prequel about Ginny and Jacob and I loved both characters. It was quite interesting and it definitely helped me with understanding everything that happens Tempest Rising. But let me tell you, I definitely didn't expect the way the things went  with Tempest Rising. I was hit with one unexpected twist after another. And some of them were quite heartbreaking and I had tears in my eyes more often than not.

Ginny is quite an interesting character and I was intrigued by reading her story. She is young and as any young person makes stupid mistakes. The problem in her case is that those mistakes are life altering and heartbreaking. It was quite interesting to meet the rest of the characters that will have leading roles in the following episodes. From what I got, each one of them has secrets that will be quite interesting to uncover. I am so anxious to get my hands on the next book :)

If I have to summarize, I would say that this is a pretty intriguing short read and definitely a great beginning to the series :) I would recommend you read the prequel first (it is free, so no worries ;) ). It is not necessary to understand the book but it will definitely give you better understanding :) And I am sure you will be intrigued with the characters and their stories :) The good thing is that the next book comes in a week :)
