About this audiobook
Being Chosen was supposed to be a gift.
That’s what Tallulah Corentine’s parents told her when they handed her over to the Rain Chasers on her seventh birthday. It was an honor to be born with a destiny, to be hand selected by the gods before taking her first breath. She should be overjoyed.
Twenty years later, Tallulah is still waiting for the gift. She might have the power of the storm at her fingertips, but she’s spent her whole adult life living under a cloud.
A cross-country trip to find the wayward son of Seth, god of the storm, turns into a fight for her life when she dupes Death out of a valuable treasure. With only a wily con man, a dangerously handsome bad-luck priest, and a lot of lightning to help her, can she deliver the package and keep herself out of an early grave?
Or will Seth be looking for a new Rain Chaser before it’s all over?
Editor's Note
Smart-Mouthed and Fast-Thinking...
The most distinctive part about the urban fantasy genre is the kickass heroine — and “Thunder Road” protagonist Tallulah Corentine is one of the best. She’s a Rain Chaser, which means she can manage the weather, and she works directly with the gods (based on Greek and Roman mythology) as a sort of fixer/bounty hunter. Tallulah is smart-mouthed and fast-thinking, two crucial skills when she goes into literal Hell to steal something from Death.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book itself achieved what it set out to do, but the audiobook quality was ABYSMAL. Half of the voices that the reader used were literal whispers. The first time it happened, I thought the audio had paused. Luckily, this isn't a very cerebral book so I was able to piece together what the apparently voiceless characters were saying based on the context, but frankly I was shocked that this narration was ever considered suitable.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Audio was the worst part of the book characters that whispered were so low I couldn't turn the volume up high enough to understand and when going back to the other person volume was way too high in a back and forth conversation this was unbearable. Don't have this problem with any other books I've listened to in a long time.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Honestly, huge fan over the author. I listened to her Secret and Genie McQueen series, but this one is unbearable. The reader makes the book sound like an overzealous teenager screaming “look at me, look at me!”
