Brigid Kemmerer constantly blows me away at how well she writes. Not only is her writing humorous, but she also conveys that sense of seriousness, deepness, and urgency that make you want to read as fast as possible to find out what happens to characters you love so much. While this installment in the Elemental Series wasn't my favorite, I still enjoyed it very much. Spirit is from Hunter's POV. I liked being able to read and see what life is like for Hunter, who is a Fifth Elemental, however, I also found myself not liking him as much as I did in the prior novels. I felt he was extremely whiny at times, and his constant switching of sides drove me next to insane! 
 I know that a lot of people complain that the plots of these novels are the same, and yes, they are similar (they follow the same formula as the others), but I don't think that's a bad thing. Everything in this novel leads to a game-changing end that no one will see coming, and I think it will change up how the other books will be written slightly. Now I will admit that this novel was a little slower than the others, and I was begging for some more action scenes. However, when those actions scenes came, the delivered in a big way. I think the reason I felt the book was a bit slower was because it was from Hunter's POV. I missed the humor of the Merrick brothers, and I wish Hunter would become closer to Becca again (even though I completely understand Becca's anger toward him). There are hopes of restoring their friendship, and I'm hoping that in the next books, their friendship will be fully restored. 
 The plot was fantastic, and it never ceases to amaze me how well Ms. Kemmerer can write from a guy's perspective. I can't wait to see where Ms. Kemmerer takes the story from here because it is sure to be interesting and a thrill ride. I was always a little unsure of how much I would like reading each novel from a different person's POV, but Ms. Kemmerer does it effortlessly and flawlessly. This not only shows her writing skills, but it also shows that she can create an amazing story that will keep you interested. Secret can't come soon enough!
