Five by Christie Rich

Rayla Tate dreams of escaping her ordinary world for a bright future in the art world. Throw in an overbearing aunt who is keeping major secrets, a disgruntled best friend tagging along to college, and a bunch of fae warriors waiting in the wings to claim her the minute she leaves her sleepy little town, and Rayla's dreams are about to shatter.

She soon discovers she is a coveted Elemental with power she never knew she possessed--a power that could change the world. Everywhere she turns another man tries to woo her. The weird part is she's drawn to each one of them. Who are these strange men, and what dark power do they hold over her? Rayla must quickly learn to fend off these beautiful and seductive pursuers using any means necessary or find herself lost to the fae world forever.


This was a free download through the Amazon Kindle app. (translation:  my expectations for this book were VERY low)...that being said I actually liked this book.  It was engaging and fast-paced which is good because I read the whole thing on my phone (a.k.a. the place where books are destined to be unfinished). This was a book I'd read during my lunch break at work and after a while I started looking forward to lunchtime because I would be able to get that much farther into the story.

I mean the book is definitely fantasy so that means everyone is attractive and the main character is totally reckless, but somehow manages to escape death/punishment/abduction narrowly every time.  So naturally this gets a little redundant.

I can only give this book 3 stars because it's not my ideal genre (see the afore mentioned reasons) but all in all it's a solid book.  When I finished it I really thought about buying the next one...but then didn't.
