Burn (Elemental Warriors Book 1) by Joanna Morgan – Review by Beverly Finnie

Burn by Joanna Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burn was different and interesting. This was one of the first elemental books I’ve read. It seemed interesting and appealing so I took the leap. I’ll be honest I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. It’s part of the sci-fi/fantasy genre that I would give another chance. I would definitely give this author another chance, because despite what I feel/don’t feel for this book the author has a lot of promise. An author that I would definitely read again if presented the opportunity. It took time for me to get into this book but once I was there. I enjoyed the substance of the story that was written.
Levi, our main character, I feel like despite everything going on was on a path to self discovery. At least that’s how I interpreted it. Losing control of his powers(elemental fire.) While also experiencing unexpected attraction to a human woman. Attraction he’s never felt before. Which doesn’t help when he keeps ending up in her path. Eventually protecting her from the unknown to her(Chaolt.)
Brooke swore she was living an ordinary life. Finally landing her dream job and living freely in Nevada. Till it all literally blows up in her face. Caught in a fire a mysteriously attractive man saves her, who somehow controls the fire, or is she crazy?
The dynamic and tension between both these characters is well written, and it’s what kept me latched on to the story itself. Being from different worlds and trying to understand each as their own. Trying to navigate feelings that shouldn’t be had. Trying to survive the Chaolts and try to understand what they want. It all keeps one intrigued, but to get that you need to push through. That is if you struggle like I did at the beginning.
Lots and Lots of promise for this author and I look forward to reading more books in the future.
