“BB Easton is a masterful storyteller at her very best with Praying for Rain. It's a story I'll remember always and reread often.” -- T.M. Frazier, USA Today bestselling author

Praying for Rain, an all-new powerful and emotional love story from BB Easton, is available now!

With only three days left until the predicted apocalypse, the small town of Franklin Springs, Georgia, has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, abandoned homes, abandoned businesses, and abandoned people. People like Rainbow Williams.

Rain isn’t afraid of dying. In fact, she’s looking forward to it. If she can just outrun her pain until April 23, she’ll never have to feel it at all.

Wes Parker has survived every horrible thing this life has thrown at him with nothing more than his resourcefulness and disarming good looks. Why should the end of the world be any different? All he needs are some basic supplies, shelter, and a sucker willing to help him out, which is exactly what he finds when he returns to his hometown of Franklin Springs.

As society crumbles, dangers mount, and secrets refuse to stay buried, two lost souls are thrust together in a twist of fate—one who will do anything to survive and one who can’t wait to die.

Perhaps, together, they can learn how to live.

Before their time runs out.

BB Easton is a best-selling, award-winning author, artist, psychologist, wife, and mother who loves drinking, cursing, and staying up late mining for humor in the darkest of places.

Unable to turn off her creative side, BB decided to take a few years off to raise her two small children (Baby BB and Mini Ken) and indulge in all of her artistic whims, primarily having pink hair and writing embarrassingly candid novels about her delinquent past and deviant sexual history.

Let me start by saying, in all my long life as a reader, I've never touched this particular genre.

I DON'T like Pnr/Dystopian/Fantasy/Shifter books ....EVER !!

I stay far away from them for the simple reason that I can't understand or identify with their setting, plot, dialogues, lingo, etc.

Shit I’m Never Going to Think About Again Because None of This Matters and We’re All Going to Die Anyways

So WHY did I pick this book to read?

Because I blindly trust the author for her narration skills. She can tell a story...and tell it well!

I did not EVEN FOR A MINUTE realise it was a dystopian or Apocalyptic story (if I'm wrong in genre naming, pardon my ignorance, I've NO IDEA about this genre)

So anyway, I opened the first page and couldn't close till the last!!

It hooked me !

Lined me !

Sinkered me !

No other way to describe it. I was heavily invested in Rain's survival and rooted staunchly for Wes's Lifer Luck. More than that, I was so mesmerized by the vivid imagery that BB created with sheer imagination and words and put it all on paper. I was reading it but I was IMAGINING every fiery explosion, every brutal fight, her hunger, his anger, their kisses, sounds of gunshots, revs of the engines, gallops of the horses, sounds of banners unfurling, even the damn grass blade twined around her finger!!!!!.....

I could SEE IT ALL!!

That's how picturesque her writing was. It's an oxymoron when you can SEE the WORDS jump up and play out like a hologram.

Her plot was so slick and thrilling & dialogues sassy and sensitive. I've found a new fave author😍😍

Rain & Wes's first interaction is surprisingly violent and they somehow end up together as reluctant travellers on the debris filled road through Crazytown. Lurking in their nightmares are Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, chasing their heels every night. It's just a matter of 3 days when everything would come to an end anyways.

"Four monstrous black horses are barreling toward me through the forest— heads down, smoke pouring from their flared nostrils— ripping through the brambles and branches like party streamers. They leave nothing but flames and scorched earth in their wake as their faceless, cloaked riders point their weapons —a sword, a scythe, a mace, and a flaming club—toward the colorless sky."

So why attach yourself or feel anything or fall in love ?

But as they say- Shit Happens !

"Three Rs: rioters, rapists, and rabid dogs. The dogs don’t really have rabies, but so many people have died in the weeks leading up to April 23 that their pets are starting to band together and hunt as a team."

The world has gone mad, arsonists and looters rule the chaotic world. Survivalist instincts make them selfish and dangerous

"Supplies, shelter, self-defense". take priority over decency, humanity and loyalty

Amidst all of this chaos are Wes & Rain in their bubble in a crumbling house.

I have to mention something noteworthy here. Pay close attention to the first sex act scene between rainbow and Wes. Passion is at boiling point, mercury rising due to adrenaline rush and the scene starts with Wes stunned by the feelings threatening to burst in his chest. He justifies it with his own insecurity. His abandonment issues threaten to dilute his sensories but he is soon overpowered. He rationalises everything by going from insecurity to detachment to euphoria.

The scene ebbs and flows riding on feverish waves, which is side by side with hot frenzied breaths. All through this, Rainbow remains single mindedly focused on him. Her mind and body are inarguably aligned, but Wes goes through with tumultous emotions and all of that is influenced by what is happening outside their bubble, in the crazytown. It's like that scene was a bridge between hopelessness and hope, bodies joined at the onset end up with souls getting attached and they start feeling hope for the first time that they MAY survive merely by the strength of their joint spirits.

What a wonderful, marvelous execution of the scene.

I just adored Wes & Rain. She's a lamb lost in the butchery, her deadline fast approaching. Her soft hearted, loyal and sunny personality completely enamoured me. Unassuming and tenacious, I'd want her on my side if I'm in that Situation ever

Sugar cookies. She laughs like a farm animal . She looks like a discarded porcelain doll that raided a teenage boy’s closet. And she smells like fucking sugar cookies.

Wes is hardcore, strong but so vulnerable, I cried tears for him, wanted him to snuggle in my arms...omg Wesson, I love you so hard!!!💜

Her embrace on my bare chest makes me feel like I’ve been skinned alive. I’m nothing but raw pink meat in her arms. My scales, my fur, my leathery hide ... it’s all been ripped away. Rain’s touch penetrates through every layer of defense I thought I had, reaching places that have never seen the light of day.

I'm embarssingly rambling about a book I had no intention of reading if I hadn't met BB and her personal Ken-Doll in D.C. As much as her books are exceptionally good, her personality had me crushing hard on her. Sweetest and guileless, she just radiates goodness.

That may or may not have influenced my maiden venture into this uncharted genre waters...i ain't telling.

So! GO AND READ THIS BOOK!! If a Dystopian atheist like me can kneel and pray, so can you!!

5 stars for the Fifth Hooded Horseman of the Apocalypse
