Book Description:

Trapped on Naples Island, Eddie Dees does everything he can to hold his family together. A supernatural storm is feeding on people’s fear and paranoia. The more people turn on each other, the stronger it becomes.

Believing there are small, systematic breaks in the storm, he plans to make his way off the island with as many residents as possible. But he must first deal with the crazed gunman roaming the streets as well as another growing threat: Klutch, a violent army vet suffering PTSD, has recruited a band of followers who believe the storm is a weaponized weather experiment gone awry. Klutch plans on stopping anyone from leaving the island, and one of his followers is Eddie’s own teenage son.

My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Storm Taken is about the people who live on Naples Island where there is a storm unlike any storm that has been witnessed before. It is contained to the island and it is deadly. If anyone tries to leave or enter the island, they are killed with lightning. 

Eddie Dees is a resident of Naples Island and notices that since the storm started, things are going missing everywhere. People are at each others’ throats thinking that their neighbors are stealing from them. With no electricity and no way off the island the residents are either going to kill each other or have to band together to figure out how to get off the island. And it seems that their time is running out because the dark clouds above the island are descending.

This story is a little slow to get started but about a third of the way through, it gets good. The characters are well developed and the author does a good job of portraying them as actual people might react. 

My favorite paragraph at the end of the book: “We have so little time here with those we love, and sometimes — for reasons we don’t know — they’re taken from us…I suppose the best we can do is love the time that we have with them and let them go when the time is right.”
