My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Cranky Stars


If you knew the Apocalypse was approaching what would you do with your final time here on Earth? Drink, medicate and go hog wild? Spend time with your family? Try to do as many things on your bucket list which might be impossible since the world is in chaos and ruin. Which happens to be the case in Praying for Rain.


Rainbow knows the world will end on April 23. A series of dreams are triggering the demise of the world. Her small town is crumbling down around her and neighbor is turning against neighbor. She is just trying to make it till then and is self-medicating to try and not feel or remember that her life is in shambles. She tries to dress down as much as she can on the rare moments, she leaves the house because money is no longer viable currency anymore if you catch my drift. It’s on one of these excursions she meets Wes. He makes her feel and gives her hope. She wants to hold onto him and ride out these last three days with him by her side.


Wes is like a nomad. Hoping from place to place just trying to get by. A child of the system he lands back in the United States when news that the end is near. He lands back in his childhood town and starts a hunt for a mysterious bunker. He’s living from place to place doing what he can to survive. One day he sees Rainbow being attacked by some people and he steps in. His immediate thought is he can use her to get the supplies he needs but it becomes more.


I don’t know what I just read in a day, but I love it. Praying for Rain has that signature BB Easton style of an emotionally compromised girl who copes not in the healthiest ways and that bad boy we all love. The one with the hidden heart somewhere under all the tattoos and cynicism. This book can be pretty graphic at times and gory but it’s not all that it seems. It’s just so much more. You feel for Rain and Wes and want them to live. You crave that happily ever after for them. This book makes you wonder if there were to be an ending will we go out with a bang like how we started or more of human approach that breaks down society as we know it. I think for BB Easton stepping outside of what she has written in the past this is an excellent way to make an entrance. Look out world BB is making her way in this crazy apocalyptic world!!
