Thunder Road by Sierra Dean
Rain Chaser #3
Urban Fantasy
July 26, 2016- Self Published

Just when I needed a new UF series to love Sierra Dean releases her newest, Thunder Road.

Tallulah Corentine is a Rain Chaser, marked at birth with Seth, the god of storm’s symbol and given over to him and his temple at a young age by her parents. In the ensuing twenty years, she has done whatever Seth has asked, no matter the danger to herself. In fact when the book opens she is in yet another mess after acquiring an idol from another god for her patron. By deception rather than actual skill, but whatever. What Tallulah soon comes to realize is that this time Seth has gotten her into a world of trouble, bigger than anything she’s been in before and the previous owner of the idol, the goddess Manea, is willing to do whatever is needed in order to get it back or get revenge. Even killing one of Seth’s children.

Tasked by Seth to find and protect his son (who just so happens to be absolutely clueless about his heritage), Tallulah is in over her head and knows shit is about to hit the fan. Aided by several other gods, always with a secret agenda, and Cade, who serves Arda, the goddess of bad luck and misfortune, she slowly makes her way to New Orleans. It’s a crazy good time as only Sierra Dean can deliver. Tallulah is strong, capable and snarky, which just so happens to be my favorite type of heroine. The action doesn’t let up for a minute as Tallulah has to work her way out of one dangerous situation after another. Nothing is easy, and she occasionally gets herself into even more trouble with her actions, but of course she ends up triumphant in the end. At least for now. There are hints of a relationship developing between her and Cade and I can not wait to see what Ms. Dean has in store for them.

I’m kind of bummed I read this so early, as now the wait for book two will seem like forever. The good news is, this author has another urban fantasy release this year that I’m looking forward to, Black Magic Bayou releases in October. If you haven’t yet read her Secret McQueen series or its follow-up, Genie McQueen, y’all need to get on that asap. In the mean time go one-click Thunder Road. Action, adventure, mythology, … it has every single thing guaranteed to make fans of urban fantasy happy.
