Except something terrible is about to happen to our planet, and I’m the only one who can do something about it, so no pressure. “My name is Catherine van Dyk. I run a private massage and coaching practice in Shoreditch, London—nothing special, you would say, and you would be right. I have to. For Catherine, for her friends, for all of us.. To save all our lives.” Catherine van Dyk is an Elemental, which means she can control earth, air, fire, and water—sort of. Am I going to succeed? This time I might finally be able to control the elements. To save my life. Whether her new neighbour Tristan can help her in that has yet to be seen. Is Tristan who he says he is? With disaster on its way and only one week to go, time is running out. Catherine is trying to leave her darker days behind her, but she and her friends, who have similar abilities, must try to restore balance to our world. Time is running out, and only the Elemental can save the world

Then we’re taken into the world of shopping and eating out as we get to know our sassy hero
