Lightning Strikes (Chani Lynn Feener) Books in Order

The Lightning Strikes books sit on Feener's YA side, but they sound closer in mood to her darker fantasy work than to her lightest stories. Right now the series begins with When Lightning Strikes, which ends on a cliffhanger and clearly sets up a bigger arc to come.

What readers usually point to first is the sense of sudden magical upheaval. The title is a fair warning. This is the kind of opener where normal rules fall away quickly, and the characters have to adapt before they fully understand what is happening around them.

Feener tends to build YA fantasy around emotional pressure rather than slow explanation, and that seems to be the appeal here too. The romance matters, but so does the feeling of being thrown into something larger and more dangerous than you expected.

So if you are browsing this page, think of it as an in-progress fantasy trilogy entry point. Expect magic, danger, young characters under stress, and a first book that is designed to leave you wanting the next one.
