Five Elemental Enmity Series Book I eBook Christie Rich Amber McNemar

This was a fun, easy read which kept me glued to the pages until the very end.
Rayla wants nothing more than to follow her love for her, and the best way to do that is to attend the college of her dreams. Unfortunately, her aunt refuses to let her leave the town, claiming that other jobs are better and more sensible. After careful planning, Rayla and her friend secretly leave and head to the college, but even while driving there, very strange things start happening. Rayla is being followed, and the pursuers are anything but normal. Add a handful of unnaturally good looking guys with attitudes who are stalking her, and it soon becomes clear that her aunt was being protective for a very good reason. Too bad Rayla can't wind back time because like it or not, she's caught up in a game of magic she can never win.

I picked this one up hoping for an entertaining read, and I was not disappointed. Rayla is a bit reckless and snippy, but her predicament and troubles draw in. It's fun to cheer for her the whole way through, and there is a lot going on. While some things become clear right away, others secrets are carefully woven into the shadows and add twists and turns in the right places.

The idea of having that many 'hot' guys pursuing her was the one point I wasn't sure would work out and might run cliche. But it didn't. Rayla keeps a very level head and listens to her alarm signals. It gives the guys a nice, evil touch...because their intentions are not good...while keeping them alluring. There is a little romance which at times runs nicely, and others made me shake my head. But it wasn't the absolute love at first sight and complete head-over-heels as often seen in YA. While there is immediate attraction, the author does a good job at reeling the relationship into the same questioning trust as the world requires.

There is quite a bit of drama between Rayla and the other girls, but most of this receives reason and purpose as the plot thickens. There are a few shaky spots on the logic end, but these are easy to overlook thanks to the rest of the story. While the book does end as a cliff-hanger, it will be interesting to see where it goes next and hopefully answers a few questions which remain open.

Five Elemental Enmity Series Book I eBook Christie Rich Amber McNemar Reviews

I picked this book after doing a search for "Fae" and the description just jumped out at me. It did not disappoint. The author does a good job of building the world outside of Kayla's childhood sanctuary and I felt like I was right there with the characters. While I found the tension between Kayla and her BFF somewhat frustrating I came to understand it later in the story (or maybe because I jumped right in to the 2nd book).

I was expecting to have difficulty feeling anything towards the Fae Lords but, while the initial meeting seemed a bit far fetched I did find myself cheering for a few of them in the end and really disliking one of them. As for the other characters in the book there were several unexpected twists and turns that surprised me. While a few of them seem unnecessary it is possible they may make more sense later on in the series. The author is adept at creating relationships that may appear unimportant but later prove to be much deeper than you imagined.

Kayla is a strong character and, while she may seem too trusting in the beginning, she handles the challenges well and makes the best of things. She's impulsive and feisty and I believe she genuinely cares for Zack and Luke. In the real world she would have time to get to know them and not be forced in to a choice.

Great book. I strongly recommend it.
Rayla Tate is a pretty ordinary girl, she's from a middle to lower class family, spends time babysitting her cousins, and dreams of escaping the reality of her life for the dream world of art school at St.Mary's of Notre Dame. Rayla's guardian, aunt Grace has always been controlling and overprotective, but when she forbids Rayla from going away to school when she got a full scholarship, Rayla know's she'll have to take desperate measures to achieve her dreams. Rayla and her best friend Cassie, flee under the pretense of attending a local college and on their way to Notre Dame have a terrifying encounter with a creepy man on a motorcycle that can morph into a winged monstrosity of a creature straight out of a Sci-Fy induced nightmare. Cassie is in denial, raving about the return of her hallucinations and how she doesn't want to be psychologically examined again but Rayla knows what she saw. While Rayla struggles to deal with the idea that their might very well be supernatural creatures and that they're out for her blood, crazy things start to happen at St. Mary's. Rayla's average looking, or at least pretty enough but nothing compared to the beauty of her best friend Cassie. So when five super hot guys ignore Cassie and focus their wooing on Rayla, they know something is up. Cassie's hallucinations increase and she tells Rayla about the Fae world. Rayla meets an amazingly attractive guy named Zach and finds herself falling head over heels in love at a dizzying speed. With help of her aunt and some other people on campus, Rayla learns about the fae lords, the dangers they present, and that she is mortal but not human-she is an Elemental. An Elemental is a being made for the fae, who can harness an element-air, fire, earth, water, void-and through bonding to a fae lord (often as against their will as willing) shares their power for a span of 500 years. Rayla knows that the enemy is coming for her, that she will be forced to bond and whisked away to the fae world but she's willing to fight for her life. Rayla, through her fight against fate learns who she is, who she wants to become, and what it means to value herself.

5 sexy fae princes to lust over.
Really stunning descriptions of fae, fae creatures, landscapes, personalities, etc,.
Well developed plot line and unique conceptualization of the origin of the fae, their politics, creepy bonding techniques, and how Elementals connect with fae community.

CONS
Typos, wrong tenses, and general grammatical errors.
Really outdated language like doo-dad and golly gee-whiz got to be supremely annoying.
Overall, Five was okay. The story was engrossing but various typos, word choice issues, and somewhat slow-paced progression of the plot took away from what the story could have been.
This was a fun, easy read which kept me glued to the pages until the very end.
