Storm (Elemental #1)

by



Earth, Fire, Air, Water – they have more power than you dream.

Ever since her ex-boyfriend spread those lies about her, Becca Chandler is suddenly getting all the guys—all the ones she doesn't want. Then she saves Chris Merrick from a beating in the school parking lot. Chris is different. Way different: he can control water—just like his brothers can control fire, wind, and earth. They’re powerful. Dangerous. Marked for death.

And now that she knows the truth, so is Becca.

Secrets are hard to keep when your life’s at stake. When Hunter, the mysterious new kid around school, turns up with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time, Becca thinks she can trust him. But then Hunter goes head-to-head with Chris, and Becca wonders who’s hiding the most dangerous truth of all.

The storm is coming .
 
Review:
 
This book is awesome from like page 2. Reading it felt like reading the script of a teenaged centric, paranormal tv show that has the potential to become huge.
 
Merrick Brothers Micheal, Gabriel, Nick and Chris have a very strong connection to the four elements earth, fire, air and water respectively. Their connection is so strong that people want them to DIE. (They are jealous.)
 
Our story revolves mainly around the youngest Merrick, Chris. When two bad guys ambush him and beat him up, he is saved by an Aquafina bottle and Becca Chandler, who apparently, has a 'reputation' in school. However, that is not true.
 
And from that time onwards, she ends up getting involved in Elemental business which needless to say is life threatening. Enters new boy slash self defence trainer slash *spoiler* Hunter Garrity. What we get is a love triangle in a backdrop of a very action packed and heart warming plot.
 
The best thing about this book is the relationships between the four brothers. The family vibe. All four of them are so different and you cross your fingers for them. As far as the love story is concerned, I was confused about whom Becca would end up with at the end of the first book but it was sweet. Romantic. Brigid Kemmerer has a very simple yet impactful way of writing that keeps on promising you more and more in the pages to come. And it never disappoints.

This book has everything: love, action, suspense, drama and the x factor!

RATING:  4/5 stars
