Callie and her sister are more powerful than any Faerie ever born. Now they have to use their powers to save their mother and family from the evil hands of fate that threaten to tear them apart. Welcome to her elemantal reality.

Well this was a surprise. I've had this book on my TBR for years but I kept avoiding it because of the terrible original cover and the summary on Goodreads. It really sounds awful. Worse than most blurbs for YA books. But I couldn't decide what to read because I wasn't in the mood for anything so I picked a random number from my TBR and this was what I got.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a lot of fun. I liked the writing, the characters (for the most part) and their sarcasm and banter, I also enjoyed the action, the pacing was great. I just flew through it. Unfortunately the good was overshadowed at times by some things I didn't like at all. You can guess it, double standard regarding sex, love triangle (team Hunter all the way), lack of shock and doubt when a regular human being is faced with supernatural beings and events and some really stupid decisions on behalf of the heroine. YA is basically plagued by these so I can't say I was taken by surprise. Otherwise, very entertaining book.

I liked the book. It was really good, but not amazing.
It needed something to drive me in more, the ending didn't have me wanting more, and I could see the ending coming from a mile away. (spoiler) I could see that her father was the one. & I thought we needed more Chris and less pity party.
