It's been a while since I've read about the Fae and I was pleasantly surprised by this story. It blended the Fae with Elementals and did so in a way I'd not seen before. Rayna finds out quite unceremoniously from her aunt that she's in trouble. The Fae are after her because of her powers and will try to to win her over in order to take control of it. Top that off with the fact that she's away from home for the first time and she's got quite an adventure ahead of her. 
 This story is filled with twists and turns and even has a few surprises in store for the readers. The writing style is descriptive without being overly cumbersome and allows the story to move smoothly along. There are a few parts of the book that feel confusing in the moment but later become clear to the reader. The creativity and storytelling are great. This is a good start to this series. 
 As a reader, however, I do have a few issues with this story...more specifically with some of the characters. First, there a lot of them and, at times, I found myself trying to remember how one character or the other fit in. Rayna, the main character wasn't as strong a hero as I would have liked her to be. Of course, it understandable that she feel confused by all that's happening but I found that she avoided situations and was gullible too often, especially around her best friend Cassie and love interest Zack. I'm hoping that she comes into herself in the next book. I must admit that I liked the Fae Lords. They were gorgeous and alluring, of course, and who wouldn't like that? But they were also a bit too obvious for me...they never hid their desire to win Rayna over and I would have liked a bit of mystery and slyness on their part! Rayna is drawn to all of them and, in the end, we find ourselves with a love triangle. Of course, I've picked my "team" but I have a distinct, sinking feeling that I'm on the losing team. 
 Overall, this first book in the Elemental Enmity series has a lot of potential. There's still a lot of story to be told and since the first book leaves us with a cliffhanger, the author must have some more interesting situations to put these characters into. This was a quick read that was creative and different and the best part is that book 2 is already available so that we don't have to wait to see what happens next.
