Element Part I by CM Doporto is an interesting novella that leaves the readers (at least me) begging for Part II to be released.  In the story, Natalie is a college student who gets a summer internship at Kronberg Laboratories.  Not only is she working at Kronberg, but she is taking test vitamins/supplements as part of a paid study for the company. Natalie becomes involved with Ryan another intern who she happens to know from high school and they quickly develop an intense relationship.  But Natalie's having some strange experiences and she's not sure what is going on or how she's going to deal with everything.I enjoyed this book and I thought that it was a unique concept.  I think that the storyidea has a lot of potential.  A lot of time is spent developing the characters and setting up the action, but once the plot starts moving the book gets really interesting.I also liked the characters and thought they were interesting - although sometimes their actions and words were a little cliché and cheesy.  Ryan was my favorite character - he is like the perfect guy.  Natalie is a down to earth girl, kind of a nerd but she can be a little overdramatic.  But then again she's a college freshman who is experiencing a lot of life changing things...so maybe her dramatics are realistic.  The relationship between Ryan and Natalie was very intense and sweet.  They're both scared of being hurt but they can't stay away from each other.  Lise and Sal are great secondary characters and they both have a lot of personality and they mesh well with Ryan and Natalie.Part I gives a really good set up to the story and builds a lot of intrigue...but I was definitely upset when I got to the ending - I want to read Part II now!  (So CM Doporto - if you're reading this, feel free to send me an ARC of Part II for review...lol)*Note - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
