When it was announced that a Stung (2015) was being published, second in the series to Joss Stirling's book Storm and Stone (2014) (also known as Struck) I was curious. Curious as to how Joss Stirling could write a book as mysterious, gripping and emotive as Struck... but she did.
From the very first chapter, which was filled with such mystery and sadness, I was keen to find out more about this distressed character Kate Pearl.
Then there is the handsome joker Nathan Hunter who I fell in love with while being on the roller coaster of a journey when reading this story.
What I like about this story in comparison to the Finding Sky (2011) series, is that in each book we get the opportunity to read both the male and the females perspective: how the characters fell in love and feel about each other, how the boys pursue the girls and how the girls react. In comparison to this, while the Finding Sky series is another one of my favourite books, we only get the chance to read about the girls experiences. On the other hand, Joss Stirling has written comparison novella's based on the boys perspective in the book.
When YDA (Young Detective's Agency) agent Kate Pearl gets sent on a mission that goes tragically wrong with her ultimately being accused for murder, it is up to Nathan Hunter with his team Kieran, Raven and Damien to go and save her. But is the YDA really the safest place for Kate?
Nathan has always had a crush on Kate, but it is his crush that leaves him getting tackled with an important decision. Is he prepared to put his career at the YDA on the line for love?
The growing love and trust between Nathan and Kate is one that will never get boring to read. This story contains the perfect balance between action and romance, meaning that this story is suitable for any audience, whether you are a teenager or an adult.
What I also find thoroughly enjoyable about Joss Stirling's books, is that with each story I fall in love with a different character, as each of the male characters, though they may have such different personalities and characteristics, they are also alike in the way that they are all 21st century gentlemen: polite, caring, protective, (obviously sarcastic) and put the women first.
I am definitely looking forward to reading Shaken (2016), the third instalment to the series.
