Sacrifice (The Elementals) by Brigid Kemmerer

I had such high hopes for the final installment of "The Elementals Series" but I was so severely let down. Where the other books had romance, this had only a hint of that steam. Where the other books had me on the edge of my seat unable to put the book down, this one had me easily setting the book down and not looking forward to picking it back up. I understand that Micheal's story is meant to be more serious, I did not expect it to be this depressing. It was horrible trying to work my way through it. One horrible catastrophe after another. And in the end, nothing is truly resolved. I finished this book only to remain loyal to the rest of the series which I LOVED, but it was not easy to finish it. Not at all.

Stone Cold Touch (The Dark Elements #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Jennifer Armentrout starts back up where she left off in "White Hot Kiss" but ramps up the heat. If you thought WHK was amazing, prepared to be blown away. With the first novel in the series, Layla's life focused it's romantic attention on Roth, SCT is all about Zayne. Where he may have seemed like a background character in the previous book, he definitely takes the forefront of this book. The steamy scenes in this book are moan-inducing and incredibly romantic. Not to mention there is excitement in literally every chapter. If you thought you had a team picked before, be ready to have that team be changed or tested in this book. Team Roth or Team Zayne?
