The Ice Queen / Alice Hoffman 211 p.

I chose this because I thought I might add it to this month's Staff Picks (Nature in a Starring Role...), but I can't recommend it. It has some appealing elements - the main character is a librarian who has a lot of very hot sex - but it felt like this was written in haste. The main character (whose name I've already forgotten...oops) and her partner in sizzle are both lightning strike survivors. The book is full of anecdotes on the many bizarre ways in which a person can be affected by lightning strike, and if half of them are true, I think I'd rather read a non-fiction account of these phenomena. Wonder if one exists?
