I hate funerals. I guess most people feel that way, but not to the degree that I do. Not only did I have my own grief to deal with, but also the grief of everyone who's sitting around me. With it being an outdoor funeral, I though it might dilute their feelings enough to be tolerable, but it didn't. It's at times like this that I hate my unique abilities. Sometimes being able to sense people's emotions is a bit of a perk, but this wasn't one of those times.
The Review
A spin off from the Janae Mitchell's For Always series, you can read Feels Like Rain alone, but I do recommend the series first.
A rich family has moved into town and is trying to buy all of the farmers' land, including Reed's and Rainbeau's. So far Malyn and Beau, Jet's parents have managed to keep hold of their land and businesses but are fed up with the constant harassment. So Jet is shocked when the daughter of this family comes to talk to him to offer her condolences and is surprised to find that she is genuine and that he actually likes her.
Jet is different from other people and doesn't like to be around them as he is an empath. He can feel what everyone else is feeling which causes him to distance himself from others. But when he starts to spend more time with Kali he starts to fall in love with her and knows that she loves him just as much.
Then Jet gets framed for blowing up a factory and goes to prison and Kali has to decide whether to believe him or just to walk away and forget about their time together.
I was really excited to receive Feels Like Rain as I have read the For Always series and they are fabulous books. This one didn't disappoint and there were some very emotional scenes in this story that made me both laugh and cry.
I loved the characters, as always, Janae will make you love them or hate them depending on who they are.
I didn't want the story to end and am calling for another spin off from this book!
Recommended to all who love a good coming of age story with love, lust, hurt, and happiness.

Oh sorry not for me - no fantasy, paranormal that is. Glad u liked it though.
ReplyDeleteI love books that I don't want to end....thanks for sharing. Here's mine: “THE LAKE HOUSE”
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of reading about an empath. And I'm dying to know how it all turns out. Does Jet get out of prison?
ReplyDeleteI feel for Jet immediately in the opening. I can't even imagine what it must be like for him, feeling everyone's pain on top of his own.
