Fantastic
I can hardly believe how great this book is from Courtney as her first book. The story flowed beautifully, with constant surprises and exciting action through out. I did not notice any spelling or other errors. She put this all together amazingly. Other authors have put out great first books like this and have ended up being the most popular authors out there. I'm looking forward to more great books like this from her. Keep it up Courtney, your fantastic!

Great exciting new series
Unbalanced is a fast paced paranormal romance that sucked me in and kept me reading through to the very end. I couldn't put it down. The characters are interesting and well developed and I'm anxiously waiting for the next book in the series. Highly recommended great read!
A great first novel, couldn't put it down. Fills a good place on the market being more than a teen type fantasy book but still holds that sense of coming of age and self discovery that is appealling to us all.

Unbalanced #1
Four sisters, one destiny.
Every generation four sisters with power over earth, air, fire, and water are born to fight against a fanatical, secret faith. The Order exists only to sacrifice the sisters for their power. With each success their strength and control grows. They have never failed, for their rule depends on it.
The sisters, separated at birth, are unaware of what hunts them...but they are coming.
A handsome stranger discovers Asha in hiding, and swears allegiance to her cause. She falls for him; though he is not who he says he is. Betrayed and imprisoned inside the Order, Asha is without her power for the first time in her life.
As the war heats up haunting secrets and true motivations are revealed, but the sisters must unite and override their instincts and trust the untrustworthy if they are to fight their terrifying destiny.
Unbalanced is the pulse-pounding first book in the Unbalanced series: a dark romantic urban fantasy with elemental magic, a fierce heroine, slow-burn romance, and a secret power rooted in myth.
