The Elementalist
(2019)(The first book in the Four Elements series)
A novel by Matthew S Cox and J R Rain
First in the "Four Elements" series of supernatural mysteries, by #1 bestselling authors J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox!
In a small town where people go missing all the time, one might think a private detective would have no trouble finding work.
Except for Max Long. His luck really is that bad—at least until a blonde bombshell hires him to look into the strange circumstances surrounding her sister's death. The blonde might be good luck, or more likely, entirely the opposite. Drop-dead gorgeous women aren't exactly common in Shadow Pines, nor do they walk into his office.
Everyone in town knows there's something unusual about the place. The excuse of animal attacks claiming the unwary hiker works only so long before a rational person suspects the irrational. Blood stolen from the hospital, strange howls at night, and a girl with an overly innocent face that spells trouble all lead to one conclusion: Max is in way over his head.
Or is he?
The night after a strange meteorite streaked across the sky, the wind responds to his desires. He soon discovers he can manipulate water, fire, and earth as well.
Shadow Pines is out of balance, and Mother Nature has sent Max to fix it.
★★★★★ "This novel, The Elementalist, is a new twist about paranormal entities. It’s not your normal vampire/werewolf read. It’s an engaging glimpse into the personality of a small town, the forces that drive the power in that town, and two totally unlikely characters who pair up to solve a series of murders. Written with fast-paced events, wry humor, engaging characters, and a concern for the “regular” folks, the novel makes one wish for the next installment to appear quickly." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "Max is and isn’t your stereotypical private eye. Little does he know that the winds of change are about to blow his world apart. On the flip side, the supernatural world is going to find out that it’s not good to fool with Mother Nature. I loved the story and I can’t wait to read book two." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "Really enjoyed this read! The characters and the world are well developed and the story is interesting. I feel like there has been a great deal of thought put into this story and I can’t wait for the next one!!!!" ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "Love how the writing between the JR Rain and Matthew S Cox blend so well together. I have read several JR Rain books, this one did not disappoint at all." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "I stumbled upon J. R. Rain's books a few months ago and have not been able to stop reading. Just when I think Rain can't create anything better than the last series I've read, I find a fresh, new, story. I can't wait to finish this series and move onto the next find." ―Amazon reviewer
