Are we sure this is Isabella's debut book?
This story is AMAZING.

Right from the beginning I was immediately intrigued with what was happening.

The story begins from Faith's point of view. Faith is a 17 year old girl that after a tragic turn of events, she finds herself running for her life. Only to stumble upon secrets and lies that others have kept from her for her entire life.

We also have Logan's point of view. Logan is a police officer who has set out to investigate the tragic event that left Faith fleeing through the woods. Just like Faith, he finds himself in an unknown place questioning everything he has been raised to believe.

This book was...wow. The storyline is very unique in the way it is told. If my life wasn't so busy, I would have devoured the book in less than a day.

I find Faith to be unique in the fact that she is naive and very oblivious due to the "privileged" life she had growing up. Her character development is slow going but she definitely hits a sweet spot where you as the reader will be like "go off, sis!"

Logan was my favorite to read about. He is very dominant and head strong. His need to protect the women he cares for is really endearing. I cannot wait to see what comes of him in the next book, as in this book we got a hint of what Faith is capable of.

The side characters in this were *chefs kiss*

The only things I can say that I did not necessarily enjoy
- I wish there was a little more world building, but I think as the series continues that Isabella will really blow our minds with what we are reading,

This was definitely a great read. I didn't even realize it was a Dark Dystopian Fantasy when I read the synopsis, so it threw me for a loop but none the less. A great read.

Faith's world is turned on end after the car crash that killed her parents. She is thrown into a world she never knew existed.
Curiosity has always been Logan's weakness. When that curiosity has him discovering things that have been covered up for years, he is determined to try and find the answers.

Together Faith, Logan, and new found friends band together to try and fight for what is right! Cliffhanger! Did not expect that ending! Can't wait for the next book in the series!

Yeah no one is ready for this! I sure as heck wasn’t! Absolutely amazing for a debut book and there is no way in hell you would ever be able to tell that. I would swear that this author has been writing for years!

The storyline is fantastic and very intriguing. There are so many twists and turns and shocking WTH moments that you never know what’s going to happen. The story centers around Faith and Logan. Faith having just lost her parents and Logan being the officer sent out to investigate what happened. This is where a wild turn of events happens and everything changes for Faith and Logan.

I must say all of the supporting characters play pivotal rolls throughout the story and I really want to see where a few of the guys play into Faith’s life. Jax and Logan have this unmistakable bromance that is so great their banter is hilarious. There is tons of steamy sexual tension with some of the characters that I can’t wait to see where the author takes the relationships.

Absolutely great beginning to what I believe will be an amazing series and I am along for the ride! I can’t wait for the next book!

Elements of Faith, book one in The Hidden Elementals series, is a stunning debut by Isabella Pheonix that instantly sucked me in. Her world building is excellent, her storyline is creative, and filled with characters that are not only well written but relatable. There is our sheltered FMC, Faith, her badass shifter BFF Amaya, the adorable alphabro’s Logan and Jack, and the infuriating but yummy Avery.

I cannot wait for more of this series!

I didn't know what I was expecting when I picked this book up, but it wasn't this fantastic world-building and a story full of twists and turns.

The characters in this are brilliant. You immediately root for Faith and Logan. The story unfolds in a way that you learn about the world and elementals as the two characters are. There is a lot of showing and not telling when it comes to the magic system, which as a reader, I enjoyed.

As I mentioned, the story is full of twists and turns, and when I think I know what's going on, something else happens to surprise me! I can't wait to read the next book in this series, especially after that brutal cliffhanger.
