Raelyn Bell’s journey started in “Break the Stone,” the first novel in the Golden Chains series. After following the puzzle pieces and escaping dangerous threats, she discovered that her Ma has been alive all these years.
But learning that information came at a cost. In “Hunt the Storm,” Raelyn travels across the world to a desert with the goal to bring her Ma home. While dealing with the grief of what she had already lost, Raelyn pushes people away, including her boyfriend, Kody, who only wants to help and support her. An evil overlord in this foreign land stands in her way of saving Ma. Will Raelyn ever find the parent connection she has always searched for? Will her and Kody last through the obstacles they face in the desert?

Hunt the Storm Review:
Wow! I adored “Break the Stone” and wondered if the continuation would be equally good. There are very few books where I get blown away by the sequel compared to the previous book, and I loved “Hunt the Storm.” If you liked the first book, you would love this one!
The author ups the game and directly swings into action right from page one. She fills the story with action, adventure, romance, thrills, and chills. There are so many memorable moments from Kody at the Spiral, along with Cali’s storyline and Raelyn’s complicated relationship with her mother. I particularly enjoyed that because it didn’t go as smoothly as I thought it would. The author also ends the story with a shocking climax that makes me eagerly await to read the next book.
Raelyn and Kody bring in their game in this book, just like the first one. Moreover, the author also spices up the romance as she introduces Phoenix into Raelyn’s life. The chemistry that the two shares are complicated yet sizzling. More than Raelyn, I liked Kody a lot in this book. The author wrote his emotions beautifully, especially the conflicting feelings he has to do the right thing. Kody goes through some harsh moments, and I loved his strength and persistence. Similarly, I also found Quincy to be fascinating.
However, I feel that this is one of those books that you cannot read as a standalone. You can, but you wouldn’t get the full impact of its awesomeness. I highly recommend you read “Break the Stone” before reading this book.
Overall, “Hunt the Storm” is an excellent continuation of the “Golden Chains” series and surpassed my expectations.
