Rayla Tate is a pretty ordinary girl, she's from a middle to lower class family, spends time babysitting her cousins, and dreams of escaping the reality of her life for the dream world of art school at St.Mary's of Notre Dame. Rayla's guardian, aunt Grace has always been controlling and overprotective, but when she forbids Rayla from going away to school when she got a full scholarship, Rayla know's she'll have to take desperate measures to achieve her dreams. Rayla and her best friend Cassie, flee under the pretense of attending a local college and on their way to Notre Dame have a terrifying encounter with a creepy man on a motorcycle that can morph into a winged monstrosity of a creature straight out of a Sci-Fy induced nightmare. Cassie is in denial, raving about the return of her hallucinations and how she doesn't want to be psychologically examined again but Rayla knows what she saw. While Rayla struggles to deal with the idea that their might very well be supernatural creatures and that they're out for her blood, crazy things start to happen at St. Mary's. Rayla's average looking, or at least pretty enough but nothing compared to the beauty of her best friend Cassie. So when five super hot guys ignore Cassie and focus their wooing on Rayla, they know something is up. Cassie's hallucinations increase and she tells Rayla about the Fae world. Rayla meets an amazingly attractive guy named Zach and finds herself falling head over heels in love at a dizzying speed. With help of her aunt and some other people on campus, Rayla learns about the fae lords, the dangers they present, and that she is mortal but not human-she is an Elemental. An Elemental is a being made for the fae, who can harness an element-air, fire, earth, water, void-and through bonding to a fae lord (often as against their will as willing) shares their power for a span of 500 years. Rayla knows that the enemy is coming for her, that she will be forced to bond and whisked away to the fae world but she's willing to fight for her life. Rayla, through her fight against fate learns who she is, who she wants to become, and what it means to value herself.5 sexy fae princes to lust over.
Really stunning descriptions of fae, fae creatures, landscapes, personalities, etc,.
Well developed plot line and unique conceptualization of the origin of the fae, their politics, creepy bonding techniques, and how Elementals connect with fae community.
CONS:
Typos, wrong tenses, and general grammatical errors.
Really outdated language like doo-dad and golly gee-whiz got to be supremely annoying.
Overall, Five was okay. The story was engrossing but various typos, word choice issues, and somewhat slow-paced progression of the plot took away from what the story could have been.

Five Elemental Enmity Series Book I eBook Christie Rich Amber McNemar Reviews
I read Five by Christie Rich during my pre-blogging, pre-reviewing days. I read it during a time when I knew nothing about book blogs or the importance of reviews. I remember that I found it as a free download, started reading it on April 18th and by April 28th I had purchased and read all 4 books in the series. I guess that should tell you how much I enjoyed it.
For 10 days I was wrapped up in the world of Rayla and the Fae and I loved it. I hate that it has taken me this long to review the book(s) but I am thankful that I now have the chance to show my gratitude to the author for such a great series.
I plan to review each of the books in the series over the next 4 weeks and each week there will be a great giveaway for everyone to enter on Gin's Book Notes.
Now, let's get to FIVE, Book 1 in the Elemental Enmity Series.
The synopsis does a great job of describing what this story is about so be sure to take a look at it. The main character, Rayla, decides to take matters into her own hands and secretly heads off to attend the college she wants instead of the one her Aunt chose for her. She doesn't realize how much that one decision will change her life, her beliefs, and her future.
There is action, drama, romance, and growth as Rayla's eyes are opened to a world she never knew existed. She must learn to accept this new world and her importance to it in order to survive.
I recommend this book for older teens and up. I fall into the up, or possibly the way up age group, and I loved it. It is a story that will whisk you away and have you scrambling to download Book 2, Dark Matter, as soon as you read the last word written in Five.
I picked this book after doing a search for "Fae" and the description just jumped out at me. It did not disappoint. The author does a good job of building the world outside of Kayla's childhood sanctuary and I felt like I was right there with the characters. While I found the tension between Kayla and her BFF somewhat frustrating I came to understand it later in the story (or maybe because I jumped right in to the 2nd book).
I was expecting to have difficulty feeling anything towards the Fae Lords but, while the initial meeting seemed a bit far fetched I did find myself cheering for a few of them in the end and really disliking one of them. As for the other characters in the book there were several unexpected twists and turns that surprised me. While a few of them seem unnecessary it is possible they may make more sense later on in the series. The author is adept at creating relationships that may appear unimportant but later prove to be much deeper than you imagined.
Kayla is a strong character and, while she may seem too trusting in the beginning, she handles the challenges well and makes the best of things. She's impulsive and feisty and I believe she genuinely cares for Zack and Luke. In the real world she would have time to get to know them and not be forced in to a choice.
Great book. I strongly recommend it.
