Synopsis
Truth seeker. Promise keeper. Guarded heart.
By day, Jonah St. John is a criminal analyst for the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. By night, he produces Sinister in Savannah, an investigative podcast, with his two best friends. Jonah’s life revolves around three principles: a man’s word is his oath, friendships are priceless gifts, and love is for other people.
When the Sinister in Savannah team delves into the thirty-eight-year-old murder of a drag queen, they quickly discover that the story doesn’t end with the alleged killer’s confession in 1995. Continuing the investigation could have fatal consequences for Jonah and everyone he holds dear, including his irresistible intern.
To love is to lose: a lesson Jonah has learned the hard way. For a decade, he has embraced solitude as his penance for a past mistake. Then came Avery Bradford, a man whose warmth and sunshine infuses Jonah’s battered soul and challenges his resistance. Over the past eight months, Jonah has soared closer and closer to Avery’s flame until the thing he’s feared the most becomes the one he can’t live without.
The chill of danger merges with the heat of desire, forming a deadly superstorm. Will Jonah seek shelter or ride the lightning?

Review
Ride the Lightning is Aimee Nicole
Walker’s first book in her new Sinister in Savannah series and it’s off to a
great start!
Jonah St. John is a criminal
analyst for the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) by day and at night, he
produces the Sinister in Savannah podcast with friends. Jonah is a character I
was so excited to get to know better having met him in the Zero Hour series. He
is what many would call a “gentle giant” in some ways, but still waters do run
deep in this man. Jonah is living in his deceased grandparents’ house and has a
nice life, even if it’s become a little predictable. When Jonah comes home one
night and his next door neighbor has a favor to ask of him…his life will start
to change quickly. When the Sinister in Savanna group agree to look into a
thirty-eight year old murder of a drag queen, they stir up a surprising amount
of trouble. Luckily, Jonah has some extra help in the form of his intern, Avery
Bradford.
Avery has been working beside
Jonah for eight months on a project that could help change how crimes are
solved. Avery is a genius on the computer and bringing him in to help with the
old case becomes necessary. Jonah and Avery have been tiptoeing around their
attraction to each other from the beginning. Both have their reasons, but soon
those reasons go out the window. As the case and Jonah and Avery’s relationship
heat up…things get real interesting!
I loved this book, I love
when Aimee Nicole Walker has a suspenseful twist to her novels because she’s
just so good at writing them. This book is no exception, the action, the
mystery are on point and we do t lose the relationship in the mix. The
friendships as well as the romantic relationship are the heart of this book. We
meet new friends and see familiar faces and it’s a fantastic ride. I absolutely
cannot wait for what comes next in this series…this next book is going to be so
much fun to read. I’m so highly recommending this one and hope you love it as
much as I did.
