An intoxicating spellbinding read that will electrify and sing to your soul!!! A.L. Jackson will consume readers with her lyrical and poetic prose as she beautifully intertwines and weaves an intense, raw, emotional, heartbreaking and palpable love story.


Ms. Jackson definitely struck a way to my heart, mind, and soul as she paints a gorgeous literary tale of love that speaks volumes. Words were not just ordinary words written on a page. This story had words that weren’t meant to be read, experienced, and felt. Through the eyes of her characters, readers are enveloped with a wide array of raw emotions that has the power of leaving you naked to the elements. Tears will be shed. Frustration is imminent. Heart will be torn. And yet, Ms. Jackson has a way to heal the shatter pieces of your heart with her poetic prose.

Two broken souls. Two paths. Two strangers. And one electrifying collision that will strike an explosion of beauty, hope, forgiveness, and love. The story of Lyrik West and Tamar King is a complex push/pull kind of relationship and yet their connection is like a meteor shower waiting to explode and shower readers with every light.

These characters. This author. This story. This love. It is like lightning. When it hits you, you feel it coursing deep within your veins, pulsating throughout your entire body and when it leaves you, you're never the same again. And how could you ever be the same when you feel the beauty in the fragile moments of Lyrik and Tamar. Feel the trickling of emotions. Hear the sounds of your heart beating like the roar of thunder knowing that once you get struck by lightning, you are never the same again. And that is how I felt when I was reading Where Lightning Strikes by A.L. Jackson. So if you are ready to be showered with beauty, depth, hope, absolution, and love then I urge you to get struck by Lyrik West and Tamar King.
