Invested with the powers of Mother Nature, four women have been charged with the almost impossible task of maintaining order in the supernatural world and—when the crimes are extreme—the human world as well.

Fire (The Elementals #1) by L.B. Gilbert
Genre: Paranormal

A good story of Diana, a Fire Elemental, and Alec, a Vampire, who must catch a dark witch circle that has kidnapped two children.

The concept is interesting, and bit different than what I've read before. The author does a good job at drawing you into the story. In all the paranormal books I've read, I don't think I've ever read an elemental story, so this type of Supernatural is new to me.

I find the story reads at a good pace. There's a couple side plots thrown in. The corporation investigation throws off the tempo a bit, but it gives the book a bit more than just 'one story' in a series. It gets a bit wordy at times and I find myself speed-reading through some of it. But then at the end, everything seemed a bit rushed... like the end of a Star Trek episode.

The characters are well developed, and they have some depth to them. I do think the author is trying a bit too hard on Diana. I know her character must be established quickly, but it seems pushed to show she's a badass, and sometimes it reads quirky. And Alec is just a bit too 'puppy-dogish' for a 250 year old heir to the most powerful coven. But I do like both characters a lot.

I did enjoy this book, and think it's a great start to the series. I look forward to reading Air, the next book about the Air Elemental, Logan.
