Publisher's summary

Nicole Cassidy is a witch descended from the Greek gods, but she doesn't know it until she moves to a new town and discovers a dangerous world of magic and monsters that she never knew existed.

When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in 3,000 years, Nicole and four others - including mysterious bad-boy Blake - are gifted with elemental powers. But the comet has another effect - it opens the portal to another dimension that has imprisoned the Titans for centuries. After an ancient monster escapes, it's up to Nicole and the others to follow a cryptic prophecy in time to save the town...and possibly the world.

A thrilling fantasy adventure in a contemporary setting with Greek mythology and sweet romance, Elementals will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more!

good book

like the book thought it was written well. a little slow. but not a bad read

A life devoted to righting the wrongs.

What's wrong with adults in this book? How about some supervision! Let your students do all the hard work and risk their lives while you sit back and make rules...lol

Love the premise of this story and I'm anxious to read the next in the series. I love mythology and this series deals in the Greek mythos.

The characters are clearly defined and the story keeps the reader involved with the drama and action...not to forget the adventure and treasure hunt which keeps it moving forward.

Thank you Caitlin Kelly for lending your voice as narrator!

loved it!

I read this book first and loved it. I was very excited to learn that it had been turned into an audio book. I love this book even more as an audio. It brought the story to life. I can not wait for more audio books in this series.

could have been interesting

this book could have been interesting if the narrator hadn’t taken such annoying deep breaths while reading. sounded like a beached whale gasping for breath. annoying as all get out

Amazing Audio Book

I really enjoyed listening to this book, the narrator really bought the story to life. Caitlin Kelly's voice is soothing and easy to listen to, the quality was clear with no background noises.

It is a great story, well read and I highly recommend this audio book

Good but no Great

I've read my share of YA novels ( a fan of Jennifer Armintrout). While this book wasn't bad it lacked real chemistry and clever writing. I would say this novel is ideal for the 13 to 16 yr old demographic. Most adults probably wouldn't be huge fans. That begin said I really liked the premise of the book. There's potential there maybe it will develop into something better within the next few novels.

A book you can get into and not want to stop listening to

I had no idea what to expect but I am glad I downloaded this book. I like the twists and turns and the reader was really good and had different voices for each character that made it easier to distinguish each person. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to download the next ones!

YA yet worth a read for anyone who loves fantasy

Don't reject this book for being a YA. It's a well crafted fantasy novel with fun characters. A YA means that there's no overt sex, lots of teen angst but fun. And the narrator is perfect for the character.

Riveting!

I loved this story. it kept me enthralled. Can't wait to continue the story in the next book.

Good if you like slow and predictable

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Plot and character development leave a lot to be desired. This had the potential to be a great book however the lack of development flattened the entire story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Caitlin Kelly’s performances?

I would try once more but, going in holding my breath.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NO.

Any additional comments?

Extremely predictable. One behavior/task lead directly to the other, nothing was a surprise, nothing was making me want to stay with the story. I almost stopped about an hour in... but continued hoping it would eventually try to grab my attention.
