Review: Thunderstorm: Daughters of Eden by J.M. Schroder



Book Blurb

What you thought you knew about the BIBLE is about to CHANGE.

What if you found out you were the granddaughter of the first woman. No, not Eve, but Lilith? After 150 years Dika Edens, the oldest of 4 girls each destined to live forever finds out that very thing. She is not sure if it is a curse or a gift from the Gods. All she knows is the man that has informed her of this has way too much guilt on his shoulders regarding her and her past. Chrome is her Guardian, but that does not mean he can protect her from everything. He should be the first one to know that - since he is the one telling her that she must save the world.

My name is Dika, I am an American born Hungarian, Polish, Spanish Gypsy with a little bit of something special, born right here in the green state of Oregon, home of the Beavers. History would be changed in a matter of a few words spoken from the man that has been haunting my dreams.

My sisters and I need to save the world, and if we don't, the Universe will cease to exist as we know it.

My name is Chrome Jai, Dragon Guardian to Dika Edens, created to protect her from the evils of the first human woman mother of mankind. I will protect her as she fights to save the humans, but her first assignment will be to make it through the first 48 hours and find her Aunt and her Grandmother.

We will go together to hell and back just to fix the mess of the Gods and mankind.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Dika is immortal and the granddaughter of Lilith, one of the first women.  Lilith’s line is cursed.  The women in her family live forever while the men grow old and die.  Dika lives with her three sisters, each has a special ability.  The author reveals to the reader that each will play a big part in the war against Eve and Lucifer.  They are important to the survival of humankind.  Of course, they have no clue at first.  The reader learns before the characters do.  Since they are so important, the gods have created and assigned a dragon to protect each of them.  These dragons have been beside them protecting them from the start, even though the sisters had no idea.  These dragons are complementary to each sister and her soulmate.  As the war begins, the dragons reveal themselves to each sister as they become a team.  The search for the female members of the family is on.  It becomes a major part of the storyline.
I liked this book.  Dika is a strong character and a true leader.  The girls are only worried in the beginning about controlling their powers.  Unfortunately for them, that doesn’t last long as they get pulled into a power struggle between Eve and Lilith.  Then these strange men show up.  Chrome reveals himself one day claiming to be her dragon.  He is there to protect her.  That goes over so well with Dika.  Chrome is a good character and his innocence in the beginning is sweet.  He is completely there for DIka which is sigh worthy and exactly what she needs.  Her shock is very visible through the author’s words.  Eventually she comes to terms with Chrome and they start to bond.  It is one of my favorite parts of the book.  He steadies her and always comes for her.

Her sisters also meet their dragons as the war heats up.  In fact, one dragon is a surprise and the others are unsure if he is trustworthy.  I truly didn’t see that coming.  It is a cool twist though.  I like the secrets that are revealed and how the author spins the story.  There isn’t a dull moment in the whole book.  The reader is thrown into the story with Dika and Chrome as the author switches perspectives between the two.  It was an exciting read.  I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
