This series has come to my attention very recently. Book #1 was a freebie (might still be!) and it seems to have spurred on some very enthusiastic recommendations!
Suzanne: “There’s one series that I just finished reading by Elizabeth Hunter that I loved called the Elemental Series”
Jodi: If you haven’t read the Elemental Mysteries you need to. It has an awesome series. It has a Bones and Kat (Night Huntress) feel to it.
Great read..Sharon: The Elemental Mysteries series is FAN FREAKING TABULOUS! I read all four books in literally 3 days flat. I could not put them down. I recommend them to anyone who enjoys YA angst and vampires!
About book #1:
A phone call from an old friend sets Dr. Giovanni Vecchio back on the path of a mystery he’d abandoned years before. He never expected a young librarian could hold the key to the search, nor could he have expected the danger she would attract. Now he and Beatrice De Novo will follow a twisted maze that leads from the archives of a university library, through the fires of Renaissance Florence, and toward a confrontation they never could have predicted.

From the author (about the future of this series):
“As of right now, I am planning another series of books for Ben and Tenzin, but that is still very much in the planning stages, so it will be a while. In short, Elemental Mysteries will only be FOUR books, but the Elemental World is much bigger than that and I plan to write in it for some time.”
