This book and the following book were amazing!!! Four best friends (who are kick-ass girls) from earth cast a love spell that transports them to another planet. They find out they are "elementals" each one gifted with air, fire, water, or earth. In combination with all of their jujitsu training from earth and their powers they find out they are expected to defeat an evil Sorceress. I'm not going to give any other details away, except that the "love spell" did truly work. You have to read the book to find out the rest, and trust me it is well worth the read.While it is written in the first person, it does combine some aspects of a third person point of view, giving insight and emotion from the other main characters. It takes a little bit to get used to that style of writing, as well as all of the different nicknames the girls go by, but by the time you're a 1/3 of the way through the book it's second nature. It's a unique style, and I actually enjoyed getting into the heads' of each of the characters. Be ready to buy the second book, because the first book leaves off with a massive cliff hanger. I was going out of my mind because I was traveling, and had to wait 1 day to purchase the second book. These books are that good!! In fact, I've now read them both 5 times, because I just love the characters so much. If you enjoy fantasy and magic you'll love this series!!
