Elements of Mischief
by C.M. Stunich, Tate James
ELEMENTS OF MISCHIEF is book one in the Hijinks Harem series and is NOT a standalone so be prepared for a cliffhanger! This is a reverse harem (4 men, 1 woman) that has a lot of...*ahem* crazy, wonky sex!
Arizona is a human who's living in her newly deceased Gram's house. When her plumbing gets backed up, she calls on some hot plumbers who are actually ELEMENTALS (ie. air, water, fire, earth). I won't say too much else about the plot because frankly, there's so much happening, it would take me forever to explain! But there's a lot of "plunging" and "pipe cleaning", a lot of freaky paranormal wackiness, crazy twists and turns and loony characters. (I imagine that's why it's called HIJINKS HAREM?? :)
Characters and my ability to relate to them are SO IMPORTANT for me in a book!!! Even if the plot is horrible, if I like the characters, I can overlook the plot. In this case, I thought the plot was actually pretty good. The whole premise was unique and fresh. I liked the idea of having these supernatural beings drawing magic from natural elements. The storyline was a bit confusing at times because new information kept popping up throughout the whole tale but overall, it was fun peeling back the layers of this kooky story!
No, I totally enjoyed the plot but unfortunately, I kinda HATED the heroine, Arizona (Ari)!!! Ugh, between her being pissed off all time, the never ending stream of bad plumbing puns, screaming and yelling at her "husbands" and constantly pushing them away only to draw danger to herself, Ari really got on my nerves!! She began redeeming herself towards the end so maybe I'll feel more comfortable reading book two? Guess I'll have to wait and see! Told completely by Ari's POV with a "what the hell just happened?" cliff-hanging ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
