2.5 stars.

This was a pretty typical reverse harem read and I did have an okay time reading this. It is very fast paced and easy to read. I was just never able to develop any specific attachment to any of the characters or really care about the romance.

The plot is kind of meandering for such a short book. We find out pretty early that Eden can control all four elements in this society where people have control of only one and all live in closed communities. Eden then has to go wake up these guys that are each going to help her control one element. This set up is fine but I wanted to feel a greater connection. Eden is also trying to find her friend Jade who was kidnapped early on. This causes a sort of common problem where as the reader I have barely spent any time with Jade so I don't really care about her. This really lessened the impact of that story line.

There isn't a ton of romance in this first book, which is what I expected so that was fine. We do get one sex scene. I didn't love it because it was very short and felt a bit rote. It just was not sexy or anything to me and they don't use a condom or mention any birth control, which is a big no for me. I hope that the romance side will increase in later books and the sex scenes will improve.

I would consider continuing on with this series even though I didn't love this first book because they are fun and easy reads. I did still have a fine time reading this, it's just pretty average and my rating reflects that.

2.5 Stars. This one had a lot of rough spots but the ending was a bit better.

I had read another book my this author and I wanted a paranormal romance so I thought I would give this a shot. I don't necessarily think this is a bad story but there is so much going on immediately. While this isn't always bad, in this case it made the story feel chaotic rather than exciting. I was lost in a couple of spots. I think part of that was the frantic pace and part of it was no one in this story reacted to anything like normal people. Something really bad will happen and no one will linger on it or even act any differently. It was very weird to read.

There were some good things here. I liked the explicit discussion of bisexuality in all the characters and the fact that there is another woman included in the group of love interests because those are things that never showed up enough. The sex scenes were good. I'm really glad that I liked the sex scenes in this because I didn't like them in the other book I read by this author. The thing that made it not work was the timing of the scenes.

Like I said, the second half, once things settled down a bit and I got a better sense of the characters and story, was better, but not good enough to overcome the first half. I wouldn't be opposed to continuing this series especially since these are not long but it'll be lower down on my to-do list.

I absolutely had a great time reading this first book in the series..Echo is all alone in the world and has spent the majority.of her life hiding her powers. For good reason as normals are offering $10,000 bounty for any one elite (aka mutant). Living paycheck to paycheck as a waitress for rich, elitist snobs she tries daily to keep her temper in check and powers under wraps. Since her parents died while very young she has had nobody to tell her how to use said powers. Everything changes.on a dime the night when her slow boil of anger finally erupts. Will she be caught? This fierce, sassy woman has a lot of complex emotions, and a massive need for justice. In short she's just plain awesome!!! There are many surprises and a few revelations along the way too. Oodles of action and adventure all throughout...I for.one can't wait to see what's next!… (mais)

W O W! This book pulled me in so fast I had to read it in one sitting!!! Wonderful character development and world building. What happens when a girl who grew up alone and torn down her entire life discovers there is a lot more to who/what she is? Take the ride and watch as Eden begins her journey of discovery and internal power. Who are friends and who are foe? This adventure has a few twists and turns, but is filled with action, suspense and intrigue...and maybe a few hot guys along the way
