I got an ARC of this from Lila and loved this book. Ever since she told me about this book last year, I've been waiting for it. Theo is an awesome book boy. I'm so intrigued with the paranormal aspects of the story. Can't wait for book two.

This is the problem and the glory of Lucent women. You can’t hold them down. Any man in love with a Lucent female is doomed and blessed to eternally chase her lightning. You can’t anchor them. You can’t guarantee they will be in your bed the next morning or anytime at all.
But when I had Colby—I had her heart and soul.

This is a brand new series from Lila Felix...I honestly don't know how she keeps them straight!! She's just that AMAZING!!...this one is another hit!
I loved Colby and her spunk!! I love how she didn't know how to handle Theo, was she suppose to stay away from to keep him save or be with him bc he wasn't save bc he could flash too. I think having the ability to flash would be so awesome!! Of course there are always negatives with any special power.
Then there is Theo...I honesty don't think Lila c ...more

Lila Felix has blown me away...With Lightning in my Wake, she has created a unique, intriguing world that draws the reader in to the complex and dynamic storyline featuring some fascinating characters.
We begin by meeting Colby Evans. She calls herself a flasher and when I first read it, I died laughing. Of course it isn't the type of flasher that you are thinking about right now, but she has the ability to flash from one place to another like lightning. What an awesom ...more

4.5 Stars for Lightning In My Wake.
Lightning in My Wake is the first book I've read by Lila Felix, and I'm not sure why I waited so long, other than my "to read" list is simply too long. This story is full of passion, intensity, and some really awesome abilities. It's packed with an amazing amount of history on the Lucent and digs even deeper as the story progresses. This remarkable tale is told from both Colby and Theo's perspectives.

Lila manages to outdo herself AGAIN! I’m convinced there is nothing she can’t do. I haven’t read anything like this, so it was very original for me. I love the idea of flashing from one exotic place to the next in an instant. Who wouldn’t love that?! It was cool to read about all of the exciting places. I am afraid to say that with those kinds of blessings and gifts there are always curses. I honestly couldn’t put it down. I was immediately invested and can’t wait to see more of the story develo

There's Colby a spunky, bold, loud mouthed chicky with a passion for "Flashing" which is the same as teleportation. Theo is our strong, swoony lead guy with heart palpitating manners who yearns to make Colby his once again.
He has always loved Colby from afar. Theo loves her fiery spirit and wants her future tied to his for all of eternity but sadly Colby has fears of being abandoned by her love, Theo so she distances herself until he comes in need of her help. Colby will not lose Theo and will f ...more

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Lightning in My Wake is another dive into the paranormal pool for Lila Felix, and graceful one it is! My only worry going into this was at 138 pages it’s a pretty short novel, but that proved to be groundless as there’s a lot of punch packed into it!
He turned to face me. “There are Resin on my tail-always.” “Mine too. They like to look at my ass as I flash away.”

Traveling in a flash, what a concept! Not going to say anything else because you need to read it and I do not want to give a single thing away.
What I liked about the book: Theo - for me it is all about Theo. I love his dedication to Colby, and his strength or character. I love the idea of their abilities, it would be very cool to be able to do what they can do.
What I didn't like about the book: The beginning was just a little slow for me, not enough to ding the author for, because sometimes stor ...more

I enjoyed this book! Lila has hit another home run with this one. :) This book has some mystery, it has some romance, it has some conflict, and it has some great likable characters. The ending hints at more, with a cliff hanger ending! I certainly can't wait to see what more comes to this story.

Well this was different. Different in a really good way. I did enjoy this. Cliffhanger endings really do my head in though, so I will wait rather impatiently for the next one.
ARC Review:
Lila does it again!! I was blown away the moment I started reading LIMW. This story will grab you pull you in and hold you tight with mystery, danger & romance!! This story transcends any other paranormal romance you're every going to read all books will pale in comparison. The reader is woven into a magical world filled with " Lucents" "flashes" ( it's not what y'all are think!) it's a term for time travers, "Seekers" & the ever present rule keepers the "Synod". All brought to vivid ...more

Lila has done it again. I am blown away. Not only is this a spellbinding story about the complex relationship between Colby and Theo, but it has a paranormal element in it like none other I have read. The world she has built is not only unique, but also felt real. I loved Colby and Theo. They were both stubborn as mules, but in that endearing way that makes you cheer on their stubbornness. I also loved the array of secondary characters. They added so much to this fascinating tale. There are some

Fave LF novel to date!
I've really enjoyed everything LF has written but Lightning in my Wake blew me away! I fell in love with every single aspect of this novel. The characters are all so incredibly likable. The plot was great! You don't know who to trust and what is going to hit the characters next. There's so much emotion flowing through the characters and when we see the loss of a supporting character, you feel the loss deep within your heart. You nearly mourn with the characters and then you ...more

Nope nope nope this book was so bad that I couldn't take it anymore. It's kind of sickening to watch the unexplained connections between these characters, like how all the men seem to be so compliant and still refer to their love interest as "my female." The plot really didn't move far at all and the "bad guys" just kind of became the bad guys. Murder happens because of a tiny act of rebellion. Everything is topsy turvy in this world and exaggerated, and the worst part is that the setup for all

I could not put this book down! Lila has done it again and has written another fabulous book.
How awesome would it be to be able to think of some place and in a flash you're there, AWESOME! Being able to read about all the places that Colby and Theo have been is like an escape. Colby has such a personality that I fell in love with and Theo is a heartbreaker. The love they have for each other is out of this world sweet. Being able to flash is a blessing and curse but Colby and Theo handle it the ...more

It was not bad...not sure if I'll continue the series though. It was definitely original, I've never read any other sort of book like this. But, I personally didn't connect enough with the characters to continue reading the series.
