“It’s happening again, Aidan. We didn’t stop it, after all.”
As an elemental, Aidan Brook holds the power of water at her fingertips. A descendant of the earth’s oldest magic, she can cause tides to ebb and flow, put out house fires without calling 911, and give anyone who’s annoying her an impromptu shower.
But even her magic has its limits. After it fails her one terrible night, she hides from the world and everyone she once loved, trying to escape the memories that haunt her. Ten years later, her exile is brought to an abrupt end when her former best friend appears on her front porch. An elemental killer is once again murdering her friends, and she must return to the scene of her own crimes.
Lake Tahoe proves more than she bargained for. Between a sadistic killer, some clever FBI agents, an annoyingly attractive landlord, and way too many new roommates, she has a pretty full plate. Add in a past she’s desperate to escape and her own uncontrollable powers, and Aidan Brook is having a very, very bad month.
Description:
Aidan Brook's world was shattered when the actions of a brutal murderer revealed long-buried secrets about her past--secrets even she didn't know. A powerful elemental, Aidan discovered she possesses the wrong kind of magic. It's a secret that could cost her sanity—or even her life.
What she needs is some peace and quiet. What she gets is a phone call from a division of the FBI so secret it doesn’t even have a name, asking for her help with a series of shifter disappearances.
Before Aidan can settle into a new routine of pancakes and evenings by the fire, the case develops claws. She quickly finds herself caught between uptight bears, deadly mountain lions, overprotective parents, and unhappy federal agents. Throw in a stalled romance with an enigmatic shifter and the slow dissolution of her chosen family, and it’s hard to say which will drive her mad first: her magic, or her chaotic life.
Book #0.5
Aidan Brook and Sera Blais are just your typical college students—if your typical college student was a descendent of the earth’s original magic and had a preternatural gift for finding trouble.
In this short prequel to the Elements series, discover how Aidan and Sera’s remarkable story began. All it took was a kegger, a few shared secrets, and a megalomaniac-led cult to build a friendship that would change both their lives forever.

Seria arata chiar bine. Aidan Brook cu puteri? Suna si mai bine. Copertile fac ravagii, de asta sunt convinsa. Recunosc ca nu citesc decat de vreo 2 ani carti fantasy, caci pana atunci eram mai mult cu romanele de dragoste, dar au inceput din ce in ce mai mult sa-mi placa. A ceva aparte, si te face sa le citesti de cum afli ca exista ceva misterios acolo.
