Dying for Rain - Review
What could be worse than knowing the exact day the world is going to end?
Waking up to find out that it didn’t.
The post–April 23 world is a lawless, senseless, ruthless place, but it’s not loveless. At least, not for Rain and Wes.
But when the government begins holding daily televised executions as a demonstration of their power, that love is put to the ultimate test.
Will Rain sacrifice one life to save the others?
Or sacrifice the others to save the one?

Wow!!
Dying for Rain is absolutely flipping fantabulous!
When I started The Rain trilogy, I was absolutely amazed by the unique, vivid, and creative storyline. Not only that, but the characters were so well developed that honestly, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
When I finished the second book, Fighting for Rain, we were left with a pretty big cliffhanger. So as soon as I saw Dying for Rain, the third and final book in the series, I literally dropped everything and read it in one day! I mean, nothing was stopping me from finding out how Wes and Rain’s story ended!
Dying for Rain was emotional, action-packed, and full of twists. And let me tell you, this book was even better than I could have ever imagined! I think it was the fact that I felt a part of the story. I was right there with Rain and Wes as they made their plans and fought. Honestly, I’m not sure how, but I fell even more in love with these characters!
I can easily say that this is one of my all-time favorite series!

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.

Wow! Praying for Rain is absolutely amazing!
I was initially drawn to the book’s cover, although after I read the description, I was all in! Usually, I’m not drawn into dystopian stories, but this one really got to me. It also happens to be the first book that I have read from author B.B. Easton, and it definitely won’t be my last!!
Praying for Rain is the first book in a trilogy which tells the story of Rainbow Williams and Wes Parker. It occurs in a pre-apocalyptic world where it is believed that the world will end on April 23rd. Everyone has nightmares about the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and no one has an idea how to change it. Therefore society has turned to anarchy, violence, and no one is safe.
The book begins on April 20th, and Rain is so hungry that she leaves the safety of her house to go to Burger Palace. It happens to be one of the few places to get food, but she’s attacked by the people at the restaurant then kidnapped by Wes. The story continues with so many twists, and I was absolutely spellbound by how vivid it all was to me. Praying for Rain was so gripping that I genuinely was unable to put this book down!
I can easily say that this was one of my favorite books for 2019!

The world was supposed to end on April 23, but Rainbow Williams’s world ended days before that. The mass hysteria caused by the impending apocalypse claimed everything she’d ever loved. Her family. Her city. Her will to live.
Until she met him.
Wes Parker didn’t have anything left for the apocalypse to take … he’d already lost it all by the time he was nine years old. His family. His home. His hope of ever being loved.
Until he met her.
Brought together by fate and bound by a love that would last lifetimes, Rain and Wes were prepared to die together on April 23.
They were not prepared for what would happen on April 24.

Praying for Rain by B.B. Easton is truly spellbinding, and one of my favorite books in 2019! I was so excited to read Fighting for Rain, the second book in the series, that as soon as I saw it on my Kindle, I literally dropped everything and dove right in! Oh, and in case you aren’t aware, this series has a continuous storyline. Therefore, you must read them in order.
I’m dying to fill you in about everything, but I really believe you should read this series without any spoilers! Many times I’ve been disappointed after finishing the second book of a series. Especially when the first was so epically written. This is definitely not the case for Fighting for Rain, as it exceeded every expectation that I had.
The storyline was emotional, action-packed, full of twists, and completely unputdownable! And again, I about died when I reach the end. Prepare yourself for another cliffhanger that will tear at your heart!

BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. She recently quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken is suuuper excited about that.
Praying for Rain is BB’s first full-length work of fiction. The idea, fittingly, came to her in a dream.
If that sounds like the kind of person you want to go around being friends with, then by all means, feel free to drop her a line. You can find her procrastinating at all of the following places:
