When Nicole Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing she expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches. Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. Despite doubts about her new found abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches and is bedazzled by their powers—and, to her dismay, by Blake—the school’s notorious bad-boy. Girls who get close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the chemistry between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to protect Nicole from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his distance. When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years, Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted with mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect—it opens the portal to the prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and possibly the world. My Review: I received a review copy from the author via netgalley in exchange with an honest review. My favorite thing about this book is the world building . Michelle's world building in Elementals is AMAZING !! Greek Mythology + Amazing world building = Awesome Sauce. I also liked how she also kind of integrated color psychology into the story . There were times when I wasn't convinced with the reasons behind the actions of some of the characters, if that makes sense. Overall, if you like Greek Mythology & Magic, pick up Elementals. I give this book 3/5 stars Enter the Giveaway:
