Review: Air (Elemental #2) by Shauna Granger

---

Book Blurb

It was a rough start to the school year for Shayna and her friends, Jodi and Steven, but thankfully summer break is near. Trying to sort out her feelings for the new guy in town, Shayna agrees to let Jensen join her on a group date with her friends. While out they end up at a local coffee house where their classmate, social outcast Jeremy McCormick, is humiliated by his baseball star brother. When Jeremy runs away from the jeering crowd, Shayna and Jodi hear the unmistakable sound of a thousand wings chasing after him, but no one else seems to hear them. These are not like any air elementals that Shayna or Jodi have ever encountered before and they fear Jeremy has gotten himself tangled up in something too dangerous for him to handle. But when Shayna tries to help Jeremy control his magical abilities she realizes it might be the biggest mistake of her life.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Shayla, Steve and Jodi are recovering from the battle with Ian.  Shay is learning more about her powers from Deb.  She is also sort of dating Jensen.  On one of those nights she is hanging out with Jensen and her friends, she notices a classmate Jeremy on the stage.  When he gets upset she feels a surge of energy and hears faerie wings.  She and Jodi try to follow him but he gets away.

They see him again in the bookstore. He becomes angry and Shay tries to step into calm him down.  He almost hurts her badly in the process.  She and Jodi end up pressing charges and Jeremy is arrested.  Shay is determined to figure out what is really going on and what type of faeries are helping him, especially after she gets a special warning of her own.

Shay and her friends have to figure out what is causing Jeremy’s powers and anger.  Jodi is trying to use her powers from her air element to figure out what is truly there.  The deeper they get involved the stronger Shay’s power becomes.  She needs guidance from the faeries and is shocked when she and Jodi figure out what is really going on.

I like this series.  The characters being elements are fascinating to me.  Shay is the leader and the strongest magic-wise.  The first book really focused on her earth elemental. 

This book centers more around Air which is Jodi’s elemental.  The three friends have to band together again and fight another enemy.  Shay and her friends work hard at figuring things out.  Their mentor Deb is unavailable and the faeries are fickle with their help.

You are along for the ride as the friends try to help Jeremy and solve the mystery of where his magic is coming from.  You feel their frustration and fear.  Their problem solving skills are awesome.  The author takes you through their logical deductions as the story evolves.

You also feel sorry for Shay as Jensen doesn’t really understand her magic.  The author hints at the possibility of a closeness between them.  Unfortunately there is a big chasm between them.  You see Shay losing hope for a relationship between them.

It will be interesting to see where the author takes it in the next installment.  I give this book a 4 out of 5.
