Alexa Stone is a long suffering orphan found as a baby by her foster family in a basket by the lake behind their house. Her world is turned upside down when handsome Landon Knight shows up and informs her that she, like himself, is an Elemental, gifted in manipulating the element of water, and tells her she is in danger. Alexa enters the hidden world of the Elementals and discovers a mystery surrounding her parents and what happened long ago when she was a baby. This story reminded me a bit of a cross between Harry Potter and Twilight. It was fast-paced and I found the characters engaging, though I felt it was a bit heavy on exposition at times. The underwater world of the water elementals was fascinating and the slow unraveling of the nature of Alexa's powers, as well as the other elementals and their place in the world was great. I look forward to reading Alexa Stone's next adventure!
