I really, really wanted to like this book because I loved the concept. Everyone is magical, they just control a different element. The different elements couldn't mix for marriage, but dating was fine. There was also a magical disease that took away your element, and drove you to murder. Sounded good to me.I want to say I have no problem with some drug use and drinking in books. I know it happens, and sometimes it fits with the story. But, when Adrian brought out his little unknown pills in front of everyone, then blackmailed Ria into taking one to keep Paula "safe"? Yeah, I was done. She had the opportunity to take control back from him by burning the pills. Instead, she took who knows what drug that would do who knows what to her. There is nothing I would have found acceptable about that had a friend done it for me. Ria could have died. Done.That, along with the "RAGE! RAGE! You can't date Michael! He is a water element!" Then, get her off to the side and talk about great-grandfather hiring a hitman to kill of his family who marries outside the element, but she could live with him. Sorry. It was all too much.
