Synopsis (from Goodreads): One misstep and they lose it all. For the last time.
Michael Merrick is used to pressure.
He’s the only parent his three brothers have had for years. His power to control Earth could kill someone if he miscalculates. Now an Elemental Guide has it out for his family, and he’s all that stands in the way.
His girlfriend, Hannah, gets that. She’s got a kid of her own, and a job as a firefighter that could end her life without a moment’s notice.
But there are people who have had enough of Michael’s defiance, his family’s “bad luck.” Before he knows it, Michael’s enemies have turned into the Merricks’ enemies, and they’re armed for war.
They’re not interested in surrender. But Michael isn’t the white flag type anyway. There will be blood on the ground tonight…
Why this book?
Every book in this series (except for the first one) has made me cry my eyes out. Also, so far, each book has been better than the last one…so I’m expecting this to be fantastic.
The Magical Adventures of Cassie the Weird 
I love this series, and I think Michael’s book is going to be especially good. Great pick! 🙂
Here’s my WoW
That’s what I think…I’ve been looking forward to Michael’s book for ages. The only one I was more excited about was Hunter’s.
Oh wow! Sounds like an intense series. I’ll give it a try.
Happy Hump Day!

I’m used to the other covers so was wondering why the author sounded so familiar, haha. I’ve only read the first one, which I did enjoy though I had a few issues with it, but still, wasn’t bad at all. 🙂

I was considering using the US covers, but I like the Aussie covers so much better.
I like the England covers too.
And I feel the same about book 1, I liked it, but it wasn’t the best. However, each book has been better than the last.
This is a different cover than I’ve been seeing around. Which version is this one?
My WoW
This is the cover for the marvellous Australian edition. I prefer the Australian covers for this series (The UK covers are pretty awesome, too), plus I am Australian, so it makes sense to use this cover.
