With a promise of being there for Mara in order to keep her from going over the edge, Caitlin as Liam’s mate becomes part a member of Cade’s pack and they return to settle into life in Seattle.
So much craziness!!! I liked Caitlin. She found her self and her strength and learned not to be upset over the mistakes others forced upon her. Loved Liam. He is adorable and protective and just so much. Loved how he is protective of both Mara and Caitlin. Their family.
This story is just breathtaking. I was sucked into this world more than ever and couldn’t put it down. It’s a whole different world with excitement, steam, and suspense.
While this is the second book in this series and can be read as a stand alone I do think it is a far better read if your “A Shift in the Water” first Patricia is a go to author for me I started with her military suspense reads bit have since branched into her other genres and I have to tell you no matter what she is writing you are guaranteed to be glued to your seat and unable to put it down and this latest book is no different
Caitlyn an elemental is seriously damaged when Felix steals her abilities and she has been living her life not knowing her past Meanwhile Liam a wolf shifter has been morning his lost mate for the last eleven years believing she committed suicide What happens when they reconnect and Felix tries to take her again You will have to read to see
This story is an epic journey into a world that is so vivid and entrancing that I could not put it down for one second. The story follows Liam and Caitlin who fall head over heels for each other in a short amount of time but what both them don’t know is each of them have a secret. Liam is a werewolf who has found his one true mate, but she runs from him because she has been bound and trapped by this horrible person. Liam spends so much time looking for her and he never wants to stop but things start to look dismal he thinks the worse. The author creates a world that is so realistic I was immediately in love with it and the story of these two soulmates go through so much tragedy just to find their way back to each other but things are not exactly the same. Caitlin has lost years of memories and now it is up to Liam to not only help keep her safe from what hunts her but to also prove to her they are meant for each other. All the characters were amazing, and the women were strong individuals that could stand up and fight for themselves but also knew their men always had their backs. I love this story, the characters, this world, and I absolutely can not wait to read more.
“A single tear trailed down her cheek, and her heart threatened to break in half. She ached to love him. But how could she when she wasn’t free?”
This was such an emotional story. I loved meeting Cade and Mara in book one of the Elemental Shifter series, and was happy to see that Shift in the Air didn’t pivot away from the characters we’d come to love, but instead simply folded them all in together.
In Water, Mara’s health kept us on the edge for almost the entirety of the story. Air was no less of a heart-clenching tale, with Caitlin desperately trying to free herself from the elemental who’d bound her – and her magic – while coping with the pull she feels for Liam, her long-time love who’d thought her dead. Not only was their struggle a major mystery – how could she free herself from Fergus’s hold over her element, over her? – but we were treated to a much larger threat to this supernatural world that Eddy created.
My favorite part of the book was that, despite being surrounded by a slew of alpha (literally!) males, the spotlight and action were shared equally between them and their mates. The women, despite whatever ailments or shortcomings when compared to the strong shifters, held their own and had an equal voice in both the Pack and the planning. This is something I’ve come to love about all of Eddy’s work, but especially in a genre that is often overcome by stereotypical male dominance.
I’d absolutely recommend this book for a read, and while I suppose it could be enjoyed on its own, I’d definitely recommend delving into A Shift in the Water first. Air didn’t end in a cliffhanger, per se, but there was certain threat hanging over our pack that makes it reassuring to know that books 3 and 4 are due next year sometime.
This is the second book in the Elemental Shifters Series, a Paranormal Romance. This story is fast-paced, intriguing, and suspenseful. I love the main characters, Liam, a shifter and Caitlin, an elemental. They share a strong chemistry. The secondary characters are interesting. I loved to see again Cade and Mara. Richard Sawyer and Sophie Daniels did an amazing job with the narration. I like their voices together. Now, I can’t wait to listen to A Shift in the Heart, the next book in the Series, to know what happens next! (review updated after listening to the new edition of this audiobook).
First, let me say that I did not like Liam’s character at all after finishing A Shift in the Water. I thought he carried the “brooding Irishman” a few steps too far. But that was in the first book. I picked up the second because I love the way Patricia Eddy tells a story and I just couldn’t walk away from this pack, no matter how hard I tried. So even at the first page, this book had strike against it, or so I thought. Strikes against Caitlin for her actions in Book 1, strikes against Liam for the same reason. When Book 2 opened and I realized that this would explain some of their actions in the first book, I warmed up a bit to them. Not as much as I did to Cade and Mara in the first book, but enough that I could read this story and treat it as a stand alone. I will agree with other reviewers who said that it started slow and built up until Cade, Liam, et al headed to Ireland, but there’s no reason to be surprised at that. Ms. Eddy is very good at building a story from the beginning. There was a lot to be explained at the beginning, a lot of backstory that had to be told, otherwise the reader would walk into the second half of this book not knowing what was going on.
I was disappointed that we weren’t with Cade and Mara when they headed to the Elemental community they visited, Rather than reading the narrative about it, I think I would have liked to have been there to see what happened. It didn’t detract from the book, just left me with a strange feeling of being left out of an important part.
The last half of the book moves quickly, so quickly in a couple of places that I had to re-read paragraphs to make sure I was catching everything and not missing a detail. And in her usual style, Patricia Eddy writes a book that is both moving and descriptive. She leaves nothing to chance as she weaves her way through descriptions and dialogue.
Patricia Eddy’s A Shift In the Air is definitely a book to read, and yes, you want to start with the first book to get the whole picture of the werewolf pack. At the end, while I didn’t love Caitlin, I understood her and felt she was a good match for Liam (whom I also got to liking over the course of the book).
