Good listen

I've tried all of the Elemental Masters books and although this isn't my favourite I did enjoy it. It's a young adult book really but an easy listen and great if you don't want to be too challenged. Set in 1905 California with the interesting twist of weaving in an exisiting fairytale. In this case Beauty and the Beast.

tedious

I picked this as I'd enjoyed some of the author's other books as light, easy reading. This was just dull. The heroine was perfect in every way and the story had no excitement to it until towards the very end. I'll not bother getting any more of this series
