Reseda Juarez is dead.
Though she functions as a human, inside she's an emotionless
weapon, trapped between the living and the undead. Cold and unrelenting, she's
used as a super-soldier by the government in a special task force to hunt preternatural
beings to the brink of extinction.
One night, five years ago, Kane killed an innocent and his
brother lost the love of his life. The aftermath forces Kane to become the
alpha of the legendary Thunderbirds. He now must protect what's left of his
family from the tribe of wolf shifters who ripped them apart.
When Reseda's mother is bitten by a wolf, she and Kane are
forced to work together to find the Mayan Pul Yah stone to heal her—the same
stone that gifted Reseda to the life she now lives. But the journey is riddled
with more than the wolves, also searching for the stone.
Something strange happens to their powers when they're
together, and they struggle to fight the intense attraction between them. The
deeper they go, the more secrets unravel, until love is the only thing that can
defeat an enemy no one saw coming.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for
my honest review.
There’s obviously a large amount of suspension of disbelief in stories involving paranormal and supernatural creatures. I’m used to starting a story by assuming magic is real and that supernatural beings live alongside humans. In Thunderstruck, I kept finding myself taken out of the story.
