all the deal Cass has gone through, This last book more than makes up for it, That freaking last line had me smiling and bawling, I hope more people read this!! I loved it, Awesome book and series about Cassandra's journey in the unknown, Waking up buried in a dirt grave, Unable to breath and suffocating, yet you're not dying, Actually escaping said grave and make to home and then work the next day, only to be told that you have been missing fordays, Not couple minutes or hours but days, What would you do The catacyplst of waking up in that grave changed your life,
What a journey and struggle Casey had to endure but the best thing was that she didn't have to do it alone, The Shaman's incessant riddles were actually a prophecy and in the end all there preconceived interpretations were a bit off or wrong,
I am saddened that she didn't a chance to speak to her grandfather and I saddened by so many humans dying and that quintessence is forever to be alone.
I hope both the Nero water and Aeras air Ekmetalleftis elemental join together and that balance and harmony is established so that Genesis make never return, But Humans, Alchemist and Athanatos are fickle hopefully they never again for this and history doesn't repeat itself,
Wonderfully written fantasy in a world that is out of balance and only one woman can restore it, She must bring the people of each element together, and that's no easy job, I loved the characters and the plot, Looking forward to more!! Nicola does it again, another amazing amp wonderful story it's so addicting I couldn't even put the book down, Lost in the world of the athanatos where they struggle to balance the elements, A story of true love that will never die, Completely in love with theo's amp casey's love story In this unique world that Nicloa created, there are twists and turns that Casey, her Thisavros and friends must nagivate in order to save their world.
This is the final book in the series and it doesn't disappoint, The story follows Casey, as she comes to terms with what she must do to save everyone she loves, This book is beautifully written, “Oh, sweet agony. How does it strike with such ease So ruthlessly, Pain destroys. Just like me. It was what I was good at hurting things, I hurt Theo with my rejection, I hurt the Nero with my rage, I hurt the world with my inaction, But most of all I hurt me, ”
The past few months have been hell on earth for Casey Eden, If it wasnt for her Thisavros, Theo Peters, shed have given up a long time ago, But when youve been chosen by an Elemental God to put things back together, you dont have the luxury of giving up, In fact, you dont have much of a say in anything,
But its not just Caseys world thats been torn asunder,
A lost island,
A damaged caste of people,
And a connection to Fire even the tantalising taste of Water cant break,

But was the shaman right Is Casey destined to fight on her own Or can she repair the broken parts of her world and not lose those she loves in the battle Casey soon begins to realise, though, that being alone is, in fact, the only place she should be.
The final book in the Elemental Awakenings series, The Tantalizing Taste of Water blew me away, Nicola Claire couldnt have done a better job closing out the series, Caseys journey comes to an end in an explosion of and power that sweeps us up right along with it,
Summary:
Since her time in the dirt, Casey Edens life has been hell, but shes never given up, Being the chosen one of an Elemental God isnt exactly conducive to giving up, Through fear of the unknown, falling in love, losing that love, betrayal, torture, and loneliness, Casey has been changed, but never has she refused her role, That is in big part due to her Thisavros, Theo Peters, He grounds her, calms her, and gives her exactly what she needs, no matter what, Unfortunately, Caseys beloved Thisavros has no sway over anything more than her own heart and mind, and Caseys world is not the only one thats been left broken.
When she awakens to the damaged caste of people that have chosen to cut themselves off to numb the pain, Casey will be lost on a journey darker than shes ever encountered before.
With the fate of not only the Elementals, but also the human sect, hinging on balancing the Elements, as well as her own fears to battle, Casey will need to find the hope and strength to carry on finding a solution.
But what of the prophesies Is she destined to fight alone How does she keep those she loves safe and fix whats broken in her world Casey will soon be enlightened to what is meant for her, but will she be able to handle the sacrifice demanded
Wow! I cant believe its the end.
I have truly enjoyed sliding into this magical world again and again, and seeing the eternal love between Theo and Casey, Casey has been through so much since awaking in a pit of dirt, Shes learned shes a powerful being, shes fallen in love, shes had her heart broken, shes been betrayed, shes been studied, and so much more in between.
The ups and downs and the emotional turmoil has all led up to this, Casey has been so strong, and that doesnt change in TTTOW, We really get to see her growth in this book, It feels like shes more accepting of her role as the chosen one than she ever has been before, Even when the outcomes have looked bleak, she digs deep and soldiers on, bringing her new family with her, I really adored Casey, Theo, and their Thisavros connection, It was essential, and you could feel that through the writing, The connection made them stronger magically, emotionally, mentally, and physically, It was beautiful to witness, The family Casey has made for herself is a diverse one, but the support and encouragement they offer is unparalleled, Isadora continues to be my least favorite, but I also feel we would be missing something without her personality thrown into the mix, In fact if any one of them
were missing, the story would suffer for it, We even get to meet a range of new characters that are just as alluring as weve come to expect from Nicolas characters, Overall, I adored every moment of my time spent with the Ekmetalleftis, Im in awe of the things Nicola has executed in this complex world, When starting this book, I was a little worried how everything would be wrapped up, I neednt have been. Nicolas writing is very detailed and creative, engaging you wholeheartedly, At times, though, I found myself really having to concentrate in order to keep the different aspects straight, but that was more my wanting to make sure I wasnt confusing the elements or those wielding them.
My only criticism, and its a small one, is that I wish the epilogue was a bit more expanded to show a little farther in the future.
That said, we arent left in any doubt of where our Elementals end up, I just love my epilogues and Im always a little greedy for more, Lol. This has been yet another fantastic ending to a wonderful series, If you're in the market for a paranormal romance packed full of action and emotion, look no further, Youve done an extraordinary job, Nicola! This is another fantastic book by Nicola Claire, I love the worlds she creates and the time she takes to add depth and detail to them, it makes me feel like I am right there with the characters.
A Tantalising Taste of Water is the final book in the series and I am sad to say goodbye to Casey and Theo, but this was a great end to their story.
It is difficult to go into details of the plot without giving away spoilers! But I did find that I learnt more about Casey and she really came into her own.
I also loved the continued romance between her and Theo, As always, Nicola Claire writes 'real' characters and it's her attention to detail and the time she takes to add personality and depth to each and every one, whether they are a main or supporting character that makes her a stand out author.
Although this may be the end of one series, I hope it means the start of a new one, Nicola Claire is one of my favourite authors and has been an autobuy for me for a long time, I don't even read the Blurb anymore, because I know I'm going to love whatever she writes!! I had a good old gap between reading the first two and last two books in this series.
Being that there is a lot of terminology in them I thought I might struggle a bit,
However I dropped quite quickly back into the series and remembered most of the essentials!
The world as detailed in the books is an enticing one.
Who wouldn't be intrigued by the idea of wielding power over earth, air, wind or fire
Nicola's characters are always engaging, the only thing I would say is that occasionally in the rush to empower the female heroine sometimes I would like the hero to save the day once in a while too.
Theo is very much a stoic support while Casey gets to shine in this one,
I understand there was a reworking in this series, a change frombooks to, but ultimately it doesn't suffer too much,
When I got to aboutI did wonder how all would be resolved in the time left,
But it worked out well,
You have to pay attention, sometimes you get a bit confused by aether and aetheros and forget what's a God and what's an element but the writing is impeccable.
As always there is a full cast of characters, not barely sketched caricatures, Nicola gives you a wealth of new friends to engage with in every book, Wonder if there will be some spin offs
All in all the series is a worthy addition to the authors catalogue! Nicola Claire lives in beautiful Taupo, New Zealand with her husband, two teenage boys and a Miniature Schnauzer named Rudy.
A bit of a romance junkie, she can be known to devour as many as half a dozen books a week if she drinks too much coffee.
But her real passion is writing sexy, romantic suspense stories with strong female leads and alpha male protagonists who know how to love them, So far, shes written well overbooks, She might have caught the writing bug heres hoping theres no cure!,
