Jillian Ashe starts off this book with a BANG, and it blew me away. When Elements Collide is my favorite book in the series, so far. I know I say that about all of her books, but they just keep getting better. When the gang lands on Reidgotaland, it feels like the whole theme for the series is freshened up. I think that the Norse Mythology was a great touch, It made their adventure more exciting in my opinion. I’m hoping the new characters in this book will stay around for a while. When I say characters, I mostly mean Tiberius. I am emotionally attached to this fictional baby kitty! Tiberius is the cutest and most vicious baby kitty ever, and I love him. (sue me)
This book focuses more on Kat and Celeste’s relationship. I feel that Celeste became a character in this book. She isn’t just the short-tempered roommate anymore, she is a woman with feelings and weaknesses. I literally laughed out loud when her fear was discovered. Heck, a lot of their interactions had me laughing. I think that they have a weird sisterly bond that is coming out, and I am really excited to see where Jillian is taking their relationship.
This novel is ACTION PACKED! I believe that is another reason I loved this book so much. It was like watching your favorite sci-fi TV show. The gun/knife fights were very exciting. Kat was really using her new DNA to her advantage. After coming near death a few times, a new character notices that Kat can heal extremely fast. Kat is faced with the reality that she can’t keep her enhancements a secret from the rest of the crew forever. I think this was a huge step for the rest of the novels. They’re becoming more of a family rather than co-workers. In the end, I feel like the book came to a great conclusion, while setting up perfectly for the next in the series. I CANNOT wait for her next book. 5/5
