Review
Becca is a normal girl, in a normal town, and decides that to stop all of the rumours being spread by her jock ex-boyfriend, she'll take some self defence classes at the high school. This, however, is the start of all her problems. She sees one of the Merrick brothers, Chris, being attacked in the parking lot, and ends up saving him, and discovering he can control Water, just like all his brothers can control one of the elements. The Merricks are strange, and known as Elementals, and now that Becca has gotten involved in them, she is in danger too. When new guy Hunter appears, Becca is torn between the too, and finds herself drawn more into the world of the Elementals.
This book was so not what I expected, but I loved it none the less. It was new and refreshing, and all of the main characters, from Becca, to Chris, to the rest of the Merricks, and Hunter, were so fleshed out and real. I loved the romance in it all, even with the love triangle, but Becca and Chris were definitely endgame. The plot was twisty and turning, and there were moments I was on the edge of my seat waiting for what would come next. Some of the twists I did see coming, but even so, the way they were revealed was perfect, and has definitely cemented Brigid as one of my favourite authors!
